"Austin is a fantastic teacher. He is incredibly knowledgeable,as well as passionate, about BJJ. Classes are fun, but informative, and everyone gets a good workout. His facility is clean and welcoming. Whether you're looking for kids or adult class, I would highly recommend."
Lauren Smith
"Great facility, great teacher! Will definitely be back again to enroll in classes!"
Tim Mullen
"Very happy with the training and good choice for class times. Austin is great at making everyone feel welcome which definitely makes for a relaxed atmosphere but still delivers great detail and advice. It's easy to see the man has been extensively trained by the best around, Scott Thompson."
Jerry Reimers
"Highly recommend this jiu jitsu training group. I was in from out-of-state and attended three different classes. Austin was very welcoming and everyone was friendly and respectful training partners. I will return whenever I am in the area."
