What Our Students Say

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

Dylan Behrends

"I trained at this jiujitsu gym for 2 months while I was in town for an internship, and it truly felt like a home. The environment is incredibly welcoming, and everyone—from beginners to advanced practitioners—treats each other with respect. The gym is stacked with upper belts and high-level guys who are always willing to share their knowledge and help you improve. One of the things I appreciate the most is how clean the gym is as I saw them carefully clean it every night. I also loved that they do nogi for the summer, this immediately got me hooked on training here. The price is very reasonable for everything they offer—it's great value considering the quality of instruction. Even though I was only there for a short time, when it was time for me to leave it felt like I had been there forever. If you're looking for a place to train and grow in jiujitsu, this gym is the perfect spot."

Cameron Butcher

"I've been training at Noel Smith BJJ for over 5 years now. Highly recommend it to anyone in the area. Some of my closest friends are people who I've met here. I can't imagine training anywhere else."

Andy S.

"This is the best place to learn Martial Arts for kids and adults. Me and my family have so much fun with the workouts, we are in much better shape now and I’ve noticed that my kids seem more confident and are doing better in school. I can’t recommend Noel Smith or his instructors enough. If you’re thinking about putting yourself or your kids in martial arts you definitely owe it to yourself to try this place out! I was very nervous when I first went in but they immediately put me at ease, everyone was so helpful and it has become the best part of the day going to take the classes."

Lila Chen

"Love this gym! Start training in BJJ just over a year ago and I am hooked! Excellent atmosphere where everyone feels welcomed regardless of age, gender, or experience level. There are numerous different classes available throughout the day and week, making it extremely accommodating to those with a busy life. I’d recommend this gym and I’ve even convinced a friend to join."
