What Our Students Say
Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.
Reuben Salazar
"We all want the luxuries of a big town while staying in a small town. Looking to learn self defense, try something new, or even try something to build confidence? Look no further, you learn from the best and will be able to test yourself. Not to mention the price is very affordable. I stand by the fact you pay for what you get and it is well worth it."
Gregory Ryan
"Jerred is extremely knowledgeable in Jiu-Jitsu. He goes into great detail about movement, presue, and paying attention to others' movements. He his easy to get along with and has an academy that fosters a easy going, and fun environment to learn in for both kids and adults. If you are in the Texas County area, I highly recommend dropping by for a class. If you are not in the Texas County area, I still highly recommend the drive."
Daniel Savage
"Jerred's jiu-jitsu is perfect for anyone looking to learn to defend themselves against a bigger/stronger opponent. His method of teaching using concepts creates students who are capable of solving problems and innovating on their own. It's incredibly rare to find an instructor with a high level of technical knowledge and skill, great teaching ability, and who genuinely cares about the health, safety, and progression of their students. Jerred is one of those rare instructors. You are incredibly lucky to have him in your area, and anyone interested in trying jiu-jitsu shouldn't hesitate to reach out to him for an introductory class."
Tanner Sullivant
"Jerred is an amazing instructor with years of experience. He will build you up and turn you into an excellent Jiu-Jitsu practitioner. He can from a beginner all the way to an advanced level grappler. Would recommend to anyone for solid technique and mentorship."
