Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.
Juan Raygoza
"Struggled to find a place to train and stay wanting to be able to just do some grappling. I came with a friend and enjoyed it right away. From Josh and other coaches but all of the people that go. The environment and the culture formed in this gym is one that you'll find no where else. Whether you want to train competitively, for health or for fun, this is the place to go."

"I recommend everyone to stop by and train here. I have really enjoyed myself at Memento. I have traveled for work all over the world and been able to train during that time at multiple gyms. This is by far my favorite."
Melissa Metcalf
"Josh Breckenridge at Memento Mori Grappling Club is a great teacher! My 11 year-old daughter and I both love learning from him. He is very patient and calm and he makes people feel comfortable when they are nervous. It's a great workout for body and mind, and it's a lot of fun!"
