What Our Students Say
Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.
Jeremy Scripps
"Our son is having such a wonderful experience with these classes and they are having such a positive influence on his life! He is getting physically stronger by the day and is growing in confidence in his abilities! The coaches are alot of fun, patient, kind and instruct in a way that is incredibly sensitive to his sensory struggles. They do great job of pushing him just far enough outside his comfort zone so that he grows and is challenged, but not so hard to keep him from having a great time. He is so proud that he's learning BJJ and can't wait to go back every time! Thank you so much!"
Scott Walburn
"Absolutely exceptional! - I wasn't sure what to expect but Kevin and his crew do an amazing job. I'm an old guy but they really made me appreciate what a great art the sport of BJJ is. Everyone should at least give it a try. Highly recommended!"
Riley Newfer
"The instructor teaches from a well planned curriculum that reinforces the most important techniques of jiu jitsu. The small class sizes mean that everyone gets more direct instruction and helps to build a sense of camaraderie. A great place to train."
Ashley Wynsma
"Absolutely amazing academy!! We started over a year ago with my little ones and have noticed so much improvement on so many levels with them both. I'm so happy I found this place and enrolled my kids. 10/10 would recommend!!"
