What Our Students Say
Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.
Andy Martin
"I’ve been training at Method for a little over two years now. Training at Method isn’t only great exercise, but also helps to keep you mentally sharp when learning and working your way through new techniques. The atmosphere of the gym is great and everyone is helpful. My 7 year old son also attends kids class two days a week and he loves it. My son doesn’t have any interest in team sports, but he loves going to Method and learning about jiu jitsu. The coaches are amazing with the kids and help them learn jiu jitsu, but also life lessons to help them grow as individual's. Give Method a try and you won’t regret it!!!!"
Brad Procek
"If you are looking for a place to train, you have found it! It’s a great community to be a part of! Learning something new can be overwhelming. All of the instructors do a great job breaking things down in a very clear way. More experienced members are also willing to help. Have been training here for 2 years, started not knowing anything about jiu jitsu and am amazed at how much I have learned! My daughters have started with their kids program and they both love it and are learning a ton as well!"
Kelli Smith
"I have grown and learned so much coming to Method! The coaches are great and have great knowledge. This gym is great for sport and for self defense. The kids program is also great. I highly recommend coming to this gym and checking it out! Great atmosphere for everyone!"
Josh Liston
"My son lacked some-self confidence, and I wanted a place that could teach him a skill as well as a community and build himself up, and give him a competitive spirit. Method has checked all those boxes, the kids class teaches them self defense, and the confidence they will need to walk this crazy world, their teaching methods are great and and you get that one on one feel. The use life like examples they could encounter simply from bullies or situations that could arise. This ain’t a gym, it’s a community. /\/\ETHOD!"
