What Our Students Say
Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.
Jennifer Sinche
"I love coming to Motion City BJJ for the Saturday women’s jiu jitsu class! This gym is clean, welcoming and professionally run. It is very family and kid friendly with both adult and kids’ classes and a waiting room with toys and games to keep younger kids occupied. The women’s class is free and open to all levels. It is fun to train jiu jitsu with other women in a very non-threatening, supportive environment."
Jess McNab
"We love Motion City! Michelle, Aiden, and Ashley are tremendous coaches. My whole family trains and loves this gym. To have the opportunity to train with a female black belt is incredible and Michelle and Ashley have been great role models for my 4 girls. The culture and community are top notch. Highly recommend!"
