Abbey Harrison
"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!"
Fitz
"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."
Hayley Cowen
"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!"
Shelton V
"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."
