Jonathan Culver
"The owner, Coach Matthew, is VERY knowledgeable, patient, and will adapt ones training according to their previous knowledge and training. There are many who train regularly at Nemesis and several are brown and black belts in BJJ. Everyone at Nemesis is ready and more than happy to answer any questions and very eager to help a green trainee. I give Nemesis two big thumbs up!!"

"While assigned to Camp Robinson, I trained at Nemesis and was very impressed. Great take down clinic and gi/no-gi training while I was there. Matt had great technical instruction and feedback. His blue and purple belts were supportive, and he always made sure there was a clean gi and belt to train in if someone didn't have one. Veteran owned buisness with a great atmosphere."
Poreah Ronaghi
"I wouldn’t call nemesis just a gym that I go to, I would call it my second home. One of the hardest things I had to let go off when I left Arkansas was Coach Matt and everyone in this gym. I’ve been in the search of a new place to train for in Massachusetts and due to the expectations nemesis has created for me, I can’t find one that I would be happy with. This is hands down the best gym in Arkansas."
