Monarch Jiu jitsu academy

"I thought I was joining the BJJ gym to learn self defense (and boy did I learn and used it—story for another time), but instead I got a new family. We have gone from strangers to families that take care of each other even outside of the gym. The instructors at Monarch are extremely detailed oriented with their instructions and patient with newbies like me, who has no background and way past my prime. But if you trust the process, you’ll see huge improvements once you put in the work. The instructors are active competitors in the tournaments themselves so you are not getting outdated stuff. My wife even tells me I am nicer and more patient since I started at Monarch, lol!"

"Monarch Jiu-Jitsu Academy is hands down the best martial arts academy in town! From the moment you walk in, you feel welcomed by a positive and professional environment. The instructors are not only highly skilled and knowledgeable but also incredibly patient and dedicated to helping every student grow. Whether you’re a beginner or advanced, they tailor their teaching to fit your level, making the learning experience both challenging and enjoyable. The sense of community here is amazing — everyone is supportive and encouraging, creating an atmosphere where you can thrive both on and off the mats. The classes are well-structured, blending technique, fitness, and discipline in a way that’s engaging and fun. If you’re looking to build confidence, improve your fitness, or master the art of jiu-jitsu, Monarch Jiu-Jitsu Academy is the place to be. It’s more than a gym — it’s a family. Highly recommend to anyone in the area"

"Absolutely amazing place! The instructors are all great and truly work with you to increase your skill. Even in a class filled with different skill levels, they cater to your needs and make you feel very comfortable. The gym is very clean and always sanitized. The owner, Nick, is incredible and makes the gym feel like a second home. He is also an amazing instructor and has a way of teaching that truly sticks with you. You can tell he truly cares about every person attending the gym, and even sends emails with updates and the skills learned that week!! Everyone is very welcoming and it’s always a mix of educational, fun, and motivating when coming here. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!"

"All the instructors at the gym are highly knowledgeable and super attentive. Doesn’t matter if you’re entering the sport or have been in it for a number of years, everyone gets a great amount of attention to develop their skill set. Amazing community as well within the gym. Would definitely recommend this gym to everybody!"
