What Our Students Say

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

Aaron-Michael Calvillo

"I had very minimal experience with Martial Arts but felt welcomed and at ease with Next Move Jiu Jitsu. Jason Howells has classes for all ages, children to Adults. He can assist in teaching basics or advanced moves and techniques. They are now including classes for wrestling, striking, and self-defense with no limit to how many you can attend. They regularly compete at local and Regional tournaments. I greatly enjoy the companionship and guidance I receive from this gym. Highly Recommend everyone to at least join for a few sessions. Iron Sharpens Iron."

christian breud

"Wow! Absolutely blown away by Jason and his willingness to receive me into his school while visiting from West Palm Beach Fl. Not only was Jason friendly, he was extremely knowledgeable and made me feel right at home. I wish there were more BJJ schools like Next Move! Jason and his team went above and beyond and even stayed after to connect with me about all things jiu jitsu. Will totally be back!!"

James Holder

"Next Move Ju Jitsu is hands down an exceptional place for kids to learn MMA and Ju Jitsu. The coaches are both polite and professional, creating a welcoming atmosphere that's perfect for young athletes. My son had an incredible drop-in experience, and I was thoroughly impressed with how the coaches managed the classes. It's not just a place for physical exercise; it's a nurturing environment where kids can build confidence and develop life skills. Highly recommend bringing your kids here for an experience they won't forget!"

Kevin Walsh

"I came to an open mat session here on a Sunday while I was in town. Awesome gym! Everything was clean and the mats are high quality. The mat space is wide open with no pillars or other obstacles to maneuver around. Everyone was extremely welcoming and friendly. The instructors I met (Jason and Jayson) were very knowledgable and made safety a priority during the session. This is a great room with a lot of high level talent and instruction. I'd recommend NMJJ to anyone. I'll be going back in the future!"
