"We love Mat Lab! My son has fun every class while learning the right way to do jiu jitsu! We are so happy we chose Mat Lab!"
"10/10 would recommend. I had been in the area training for work and needed a place to roll. Travis and the Matlab crew were more than welcoming. The amount of knowledge that I was provided cannot be measured. Thank you guys again for everything I will definitely be returning."
"I have been training here for about 7 months now and I enjoy it alot! Travis is a great teacher! I came in knowing nothing about the sport and now I know a decent amount of stuff in my short time here! I love the atmosphere and everyone is very helpful and a team player here! I highly recommend this gym to anyone interested in learning self defense/ jujitsu!"
"Extremely welcoming environment from day one! I felt at home, after my first training session. It was not a testosterone festival. The training environment is truly conducive to learning and one can feel comfortable with training to exhaustion, in a safe place. Thank you for creating this type of training environment. In closing, I am excited to experiment and grow in this lab."
