What Our Students Say

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

Tannah Gentilcore

"Nexus is an amazing place with amazing coaches! My teen son had been interested for a while and was watching YouTube videos about Nexus when we figured out it was right here in our town! Drew, the owner, has been an amazing human to show my son the ropes, lead and guide him and has been a fantastic mentor for him. Billy has been an amazing coach as well and my son has gained so much skill from him, along with everyone at Nexus. As a mom, I appreciate my som having positive role models in his life and Nexus has just that. The rest of the staff and athletes he trains with have all been good people as well! If you are looking for a great place to train, this is it!"

Destiny B

"I started training at Nexus last year, put my son in Jiu jitsu shortly after and my husband joined us this year. What started as a way to learn self-defense has turned into a love for MMA and Jiu jitsu that I can fully attribute to the focus and dedication of our coaches. Learning from professionals who care so much about their craft and and choose every day to spend their time teaching it to others is an unbeatable experience! I've seen more confidence in my son since he started jiu jitsu and knowing he's learning to defend himself puts my mind at ease for his future. If you've considered martial arts, self defense or are just looking for a fun way to get/stay in shape, Nexus is the place to be!"

Natalia Abarca

"My son has been going to Nexus for about 2 years now and I can't say enough great things about Nexus Jiu-Jitsu and Coach Andrew. From day one, it's been evident how much he genuinely cares about his students’ growth, both on and off the mats. His coaching style is incredibly detailed, which makes all the difference, especially when working with children of all ages. I actually love that the kids’ class is combined with both the older kiddos and the littles. It’s an amazing way for these kids to learn diversity, stay challenged, and support one another. Coach Andrew’s ability to connect with his students paired with his meticulous approach to teaching, sets him apart as an exceptional role model for these kiddos! I am also thrilled with the amazing support from Coach Alicia and Coach Taylor in the kids’ classes. I 100% couldn’t leave a review without shouting them out because these women are unmatched!!! I absolutely love that there is such a strong female presence in the gym and these incredible women bring a level of expertise and encouragement that perfectly complements Coach Andrew’s leadership! A DREAM TEAM! I couldn’t be happier with our experience at Nexus! A gem of all gems! Highly recommend!"

Lizzy Reavis

"I can't recommend this gym highly enough! The environment is welcoming and supportive and the mats are kept super clean. What truly sets this school apart is the instructor, Andrew. He’s not only a highly skilled martial artist with a deep understanding of technique and strategy, but also an excellent teacher who knows how to break things down clearly and effectively. Andrew creates a great balance between pushing students to improve and making sure everyone feels comfortable and encouraged. Whether you're looking to get in shape, learn self-defense, or dive deep into the art of Jiu Jitsu, this is the place to do it."
