What Our Students Say

Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.

Ameet Leeder

"I love the vibe here! The coaches/owners are very knowledgeable and great teachers! This gym is a wonderful place to make connections, work on your fitness and learn a new skill (or continue your journey if you're already in the sport). They can work with all levels whether you are there just for fitness or want to compete, they have you covered. If you are a woman and looking to get into the sport but nervous to start, their womens only classes on Saturdays are always free and always fun for all levels! I have always been nervous to start sports working with women because of past issues but every girl I have met at this place is welcoming and friendly. Highly recommend to everyone I meet."

James Leeder-Botnan

"This place is great! Michelle and Aiden are fantastic and very welcoming to all kinds and types of people exploring their BJJ Journey! Very clean gym with a kids area as well so its very family friendly which was huge for me. If you're looking for a welcoming, yet testing gym that offers a bit of everything and get a chance to work with great coaches that are very knowledgeable, Motion City is the spot!"

Tracy Barbot

"I have been to Motion City for the Women’s Class. I really love that it’s free to all affiliates. It gives us a chance to meet other women from other gyms and build a strong women’s BJJ community. You can expect any thing from a good hard roll to a nice flow roll and everything in between. Upper belt women from other gyms are brought in from time to time to guest teach. Such a cool dynamic. This gym has such a great vibe and I highly suggest you come visit if you’re in the area or try out a class or open mat. The owners and students are nothing but warm and welcoming."

Pámela Bóveda-Aguirre

"Great place to train! Great facility, clean, beautiful, comfortable! 100% recommended! Womens class, kids classes, adults! They have everything! Professor Michelle and her husband are GREAT!!!! Go check out the place and start your Jiu Jitsu Journey ⚡️"
