What Our Students Say
Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.
Brent Roth
"I dropped in for a 6AM No-Gi class while in Des Moines for work. It was great, I was greeted by a few members and the coach right away. The facility is first class with lots a of mat space and private showers. The instruction was great and felt safe with all the members I rolled with. Joe was rhetorical instructor and made sure we got a roll in before I had to leave. I will definitely be back when I’m in the Des Moines area."
Jorge Maldonado
"My wife and I dropped in for a noon class while in town, and not only were the members friendly, but the instruction was excellent. Sparring was just as tough as I needed without being reckless. Excellent noon workout, and I'm taking some tips to my home academy. I'll definitely stop by again next time I'm in town."
Mr. Heel Hook
"Originally from Des Moines I live in Virginia now where I own and operate a Jiu Jitsu academy myself. I stopped in for an open mat at No Coast BJJ on June 27th, 2025. The academy is beautiful and well maintained. Everyone was so very welcoming and kind. The level of grappling talent is amazing! If you live in the Des Moines area and are interested in Jiu Jitsu you should make this place your home. 5 Stars is not enough, easily a 10!"
David
"Dropped in for a open mat session while in Johnston for a class. Everyone was very friendly and welcoming. Nice facility, clean bathrooms, and showers on site! I will be back when in dsm next!"
