What Our Students Say

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

Sam Ward

"I had been coming to Monday and Wednesday night striking classes for 2 months as I work during the day and it was the only time that worked for me. The coach Joe told me these would be good days for me to come in. After 2 months of attending classes here regularly the owner of the business was there. As soon as I walked into the locker room he came in and aggressively asked me what I was doing there. When I explained to him these are the days I was told to come and that I was a newer member there he accused me of lying and interigated me about who I know there as these are usually advanced classes. He then proceeded to tell me I could not go to night classes even though the coach had told me I could. Was extremely rude and aggressive from the start when I was simply a paying customer doing what I was told I could do. Canceled my membership on the spot. Would recommend trying somewhere else. No wonder this gym does not have many members. His to coaches were actually very friendly and helpful but the owner tim is clearly a little high on himself and did not respect me as a customer and member of his gym even though he never saw me train and is hardly there. I have never been disrespected like that by an owner of a company I don't feel like going into all the details of the brief conversation we had but just know I had a very bad experience there, and by the fact there are not many members of his gym at the West bend facility I imagine that many others have felt similarly and left."

Dan Hass

"I have 3 sons that train Jiu-jitsu at this gym. In their time training there, they have begun to develop a lot of self-confidence & new friendships with other students. I love listening to the techniques, positionings, & mindsets they are learning at this gym. I want to thank the coaches for their patience & for teaching them things that will stick with them for the rest of their lives."

Ryan R

"Top-notch instruction for serious grapplers. Structured classes with drilling ensure technique mastery. Wide range of classes, convenient schedule, and reasonable fees. Great option for those committed to Jiu-Jitsu! **Strong system, excellent instruction** This gym prioritizes a structured curriculum with drilling and attentive instructors ensuring proper technique development. It caters to those who want to develop sharp skills through drilling and positional sparring, ultimately becoming proficient grapplers. **Flexible schedule, reasonable fees** The gym offers a wide range of classes throughout the week, making it convenient for busy schedules. Membership fees are competitive within the area. **Ideal for serious students** While the focus on drilling might not suit everyone, this gym is excellent for those dedicated to learning proper technique and becoming proficient in Jiu-Jitsu."

Michael Tolley

"The staff are all friendly and knowledgeable. They keep a clean gym and offer a varied schedule so anyone can catch a few classes throughout the week. I would recommend this gym to anyone interested in martial arts, self defense, workouts, or looking for some extra curricular a for their children."
