Magalit Brazilian Jiu Jitsu

"I’ve competed in various sports for most of my life. I’ve had bad coaches and I’ve had good coaches. I can confidently say that Coach Travis is the best coach I’ve ever had in any sport. I’ve trained under Coach Travis for the last eight years. During those eight years Coach Travis has been nothing but supportive, knowledgeable, respectful and patient. Not only that but Magalit Bjj has some incredible training partners/students. 10/10 would recommend"

"Great no-gi BJJ gym with a welcoming culture. Coach Travis was super friendly and made me feel right at home. Class was a good mix of warm ups, positional drills, and live rolls. I also appreciated having a few women to roll with - overall an awesome place to train!"

"I am a very happy member of both the Jiu Jitsu and Muay Thai classes at this gym. It's genuinely amazing: a perfect mix of fun and high standards, always respecting everyone's level. No misplaced ego, just a safe and welcoming space for all genders—something rare and greatly appreciated, thanks to the fantastic coaches. I started Jiu Jitsu as a complete newbie, with no prior grappling or ground experience (and honestly, I am still one, but with a bit more experience now, haha). Travis, the Jiu Jitsu coach, along with the whole community, made me feel welcome right away. The atmosphere is both competitive and supportive, and although I felt a bit intimidated initially, that fear quickly faded. I'm also new to Muay Thai, though I have previous experience in stand-up fighting (Karate black belt and former assistant instructor). Still, Muay Thai feels so different and exciting—it brings back that beginner's joy. The clinching, knees, and elbows add a totally new dimension that's both challenging and incredibly fun. Jerry, the Muay Thai coach, is truly exceptional—one of the best I've encountered. He combines respect for tradition with openness to innovation. Rather than dismissing my Karate habits, he thoughtfully builds on them to help me improve in this new style. I always feel safe during training, whether it's during light sparring or clinching sessions. Each Muay Thai class is structured thoughtfully, focusing on different yet coherent themes each week. Jerry explains techniques clearly, always covering the "why" and the "how." Just recently, after our regular Wednesday sparring session, he pinpointed exactly what I should focus on next—I genuinely feel seen and supported in my progress. I'm thrilled to have discovered these new disciplines here and am grateful to be part of this gym's community. See you on the mat!"
