Ashley Nicholas
"Loris Bazillion Jujitsu is more than just a place to learn jujitsu; it's a life-changing experience. My 6-year-old son has thrived since joining, gaining confidence and a sense of belonging. The instructors are fantastic, especially with the children. They're patient, understanding, and make learning fun by cleverly incorporating games into their training sessions. The owner truly makes this place special. He strikes a perfect balance between hard work and play, creating an environment where kids feel comfortable and supported. My son looks forward to every class and feels secure enough to confide in him when needed. It's incredible to see how much he's grown, not just in his skills but also in his character. If you're searching for a place that offers top-notch training, a strong community, and an owner who genuinely cares, Loris Bazillion Jujitsu is the perfect choice. It's opened my son's eyes to sports and given him a family away from home. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a positive and enriching experience!"

"The owner, Ryan is GREAT. the classes for toddlers is tailored amazing. The staff is patient with the kids and really moves at their pace while still supporting and teaching the purpose of the class. Only reason I am giving 4 stars is because I noticed one of the instructors pick up another toddler by their arms to move them to another spot when they were being stubborn vs picking them up from under their armpits. Nursemaides elbow can happen in literally seconds & instructors working with children of that age should absolutely be knowledgeable on how to properly pick up and move kiddos. Not just grab them by their hand and arms pick them up mid air and move them. I cringed. And it made me so nervous. The owner wasn't the one who did that, but the staff should have definitely not done that. If it weren't for that incident, they'd absolutely get 5 stars!"

"Loris is a great hidden gem for people of all skill levels, they are the only gym so far to my knowledge that incorporates catch wrestling along with their lessons, everyone is friendly and if you have a question or don't know what to do they are always happy to teach you step by step. This is one of my favorite gyms to go whenever I can!!"
Thienly Truong
"This place is great, maybe even a little beyond my capabilities. My previous gym was stuck doing nothing but fundamentals for a few years because too many new people kept coming in and any sense of curriculum just kept getting reset. Coming from that to here, I'm struggling to keep up a lot of the times I train, but that's a good thing. It gives me something to strive for. Here, it's more organized, more concentrated, and far less headache-ridden. It definitely helps that everyone is on the same page and the owner/head instructor actually cares about keeping people in."
