"Amazing gym! Welcoming vibes, great facilities, knowledgeable instructors, fun culture. They have it all: grappling, striking, fitness, self defense - there is something here for everyone across all ages, genders, and skill levels. If you are thinking about coming out - you definitely should join!"
Devin Wilkes
"Very friendly and welcoming gym with fun and energetic practitioners that love the sport. I stopped in for their open mat while I was in town visiting and had a great time. I would highly recommend this gym if you’re looking for a new place to train, or just stopping in if you’re visiting."
Amanda Davis
"NIJJ is a clean and open facility. Great instructors and members are easy to get along with. Mats are always cleaned after a class. There's quite a few exercising equipment and they do have free weights available. Pricing is fair, and I like that I have 24/7 gym access. Overall, pretty cool gym and classes."
Taylor Morris
"Fantastic gym! Everyone is incredibly friendly, there’s a great community, and the coaching is phenomenal. I’m a total beginner, and these guys go out of their way to create an environment that is welcoming and approachable. There’s also a great mix of skill level. So whether you’re a black belt or just starting out, there’s always someone to roll with. I can’t recommend this place enough. Check it out!"
