What Our Students Say

Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.

grayson glover

"I've been training at this Jiu Jitsu school for almost 3 years now, and it's been an incredible experience. My two kids (5 and 7 years old) are also enrolled, and they absolutely love it! The instructors are patient, knowledgeable, and create a fun, supportive environment for all ages. Jiu Jitsu is not only a fantastic lifetime sport, but it also teaches discipline, confidence, and real-world self-defense skills. The summer camp is a huge hit with my kids—they look forward to it every year! Highly recommend this place for both adults and kids."

chris monty

"Really good family oriented jiu jitsu gym. Our second home and absolutely love everyone here. My daughter loves going in and always has a fun time. Professor John has made a safe welcoming environment for anyone wanting to come train. New to jiu jitsu or well experienced, anyone will enjoy it 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽"

David Russo (daahhvid)

"This place is rock solid for newbies and experienced grapplers alike. My daughter started here first and I was so blown away by the coaching and community that I started training at Mentality myself, and I love it. The instruction and encouragement I get as a total beginner has kept me coming back time and time again. Highly recommend!!"

Freeman Douglas Wilkerson

"This gym is exactly what we never knew we needed. The wisdom and guidance from the instructors is applicable to life and provides a stable foundation for our children who enrolled. It’s deeply helped our family enter into the BJJ world and given us outstanding insights and perspectives. I’ve heard of other schools and horror stories and were glad we joined this gym!"
