Jasper Gilbert
"Let me hop in a class was great experience very welcoming."
Bruce Traudt
"Hello we want to say thank you for having our daughter Kielly Traudt their for open mat! we thank you all for the respect and the hospitality you all provided and also some lessons she learned and some that was profected but most of all eliminating the fear factor of being pulled from her comfort zone rolling with kids that she always goes with in class to a new place that she has never been and doesnt know. this lesson that she is learning is so important she must learn to bring her rolls from her class to other facillitys with kids she has never been with. people do not realize that some kids act and react like night and day when they are out of their comfort zone. The fear factor and nervouseness corupts your mind and prohibits the thought process of your reactions to the threat that is before you which may lead into your death that you spent so many hours in what you have trained for to prevent. Your facility had very quickly deminished these thoughts that Kielly had before she walked into your facility and proved to her that she shouldnt listen to the bad side of her mind with these bad thoughts and focus on the good ones in what she will take home after she leaves facilitys like yours. Your staff and students are five stars I thank every one for the lessons and the help but most important the respect that you all have provided us! we will be back soon perhaps before the snow flies! Thank You, Kielly and Bruce THIS IS A GREAT FACILITY TO ROLL IN!"
Marcus St. Ledger
"Dave and the crew here at Montpelier martial arts/BJJ were absolutely amazing. Very hospitable and a joy to roll and train with. We did a hard two hour session of live rolling in total. I have trained all over as a purple belt and I will not hesitate to go back here. Thank you guys for having me, solid games all around."
