"I train about an hour away in Ohio, and gladly do the drive to Monroe for this gym. Lindsey runs a ladies class twice a week, and does a fine job of doing so. She provides a welcoming, safe, and inclusive space. Nothing makes my jiu jitsu heart happier than having a place to go train with other ladies on the regular. I highly recommend this gym, to EVERYONE. Newbies, hobbyist, competitors, truly anyone."
Tammy Smith
"My kids and I have been training at Monroe JiuJitsu for years. The coaches are top notch and the culture is very welcoming to new members, (including women!) Very safe, comfortable and encouraging environment to learn technical JiuJitsu. Highly recommend!"
Megan Rennert

"I am proud to train at MJJ! Coach Williams is not only a 3 stripe black belt but also an Olympic athlete! He trains more than anyone I know, he is extremely active in the school and is very helpful with all students. Coach and his wife do such a great job coaching others. His wife Lindsay helps a lot with the women and children, and really makes them feel at home. I came from another school that I trained at for 6yrs and felt at home almost immediately. This place gives you a great pride and confidence. I have never had a bad experience here in thousands of rolls with coach Williams and other students. They have a fantastic kids program., and there is always a black belt in class willing to help everyone out. Its the best money I have every spent, worth every dime."
