Anvy N.
"Top notch instruction from the head instructor. The details really helped my Jiu Jitsu. Great vibes for an enjoyable learning environment with some tough rolls."
Kristine C
"Seth and Jolie are amazing instructors who really know how to motivate you, push you, and humble you. The classes are thoughtfully constructed with great feedback. They are also amazing with kids and teach valuable lessons on good sportsmanship and cultivating strong mindsets that the students take with them off the mat. No matter your experience level, you are made to feel welcome to start or continue your BJJ journey!"
Kameron Coleman
"Not new to rolling but new to this level of skill being taught. Seth is an exceptional instructor and the classes are tailored to kick your butt no matter your experience. The only IBJJF certified instruction around. Life changing classes, phenomenal lessons, and life long friends made here. Cannot recommend enough. Must check out if your in the area and or looking for a new home group to roll with."
Evan Preisser
"Seth and Jolie are the real deal in BJJ training! They're extremely welcoming to first-timers, women, and older students, and also a great choice for experienced BJJ folks. I'm a BJJ brown belt and have learned a LOT from them - highly recommended!"
