Jayme Pantekoek
"I was hooked the first time I tried Jiu-Jitsu at Metro! David, his staff and students made me feel apart of the Jiu-Jitsu family as soon as I stepped on the mat! The knowledge comes extremely fast when you pair the training with the online video courses you can do at home. This is the only place that offers this style of learning. All the instructors have a great sense of humor and personable which makes learning fun. HIGHLY RECOMMEND Metro Karate and Jiu-Jitsu!"
Vanessa Sabin
"My family has been training here for years. I’ve tried the Jiu Jitsu Women's self defense seminars and they have been so useful. Every woman should know Jiu Jitsu! It is designed to empower the “weak” leveraging your own weight and body. This has helped my daughter’s self confidence and mine. Both of my smallest kids are in the anti-bullying program and they are in the summer camp this summer. They get home tired and happy every day. They are learning discipline, exercising, building confidence, and social skills. Take advantage of the free trials and women’s seminars when they come around. Sensei Toft loves what he does and cares genuinely for each of his students. He has been a fabulous role model for my family. I’m so grateful for his school and recommend it to every family. Husband and I did the Jiu Jitsu classes together and it was a great bonding experience for our marriage. There is something here for everyone! Try it; you will not regret it."
Chris Hacker
"6/23 update: My daughters skills and confidence continues to grow. She loves David and the other instructors as well as the atmosphere and her classmates. Day one my kid loved it. She’s already looking forward to her next class. David is a professional and understands how to connect with kids."

"I am so glad that we have found a sport that my son truly enjoys. This is the only place that my son always looks forward to going back again and again. Mr. Toft is an awesome sensei. Instructor Davante is energetic and motivating. We love this place."
