"We walked into Novus Jiu-jitsu almost a year ago. We talked to Coach Rob and his wife Melissa on why we would like our daughter to do jiu-jitsu. We wanted her to learn self defense. They offered our kids a free 5 day trial to see if its what we were looking for. My kids loved it and we have been going ever since. Our kids range in ages and personalities. Coach Rob has been able to teach each one of them techniques at their level, and we couldn't be more thankful for the patience he has. I have seen my children gain confidence, as well as seen how much they have grown as students. They look forward to going there everyday. Coach Rob and Melissa truly care about every student who walks through that door. We recommend Novus Jiu-Jitsu to all our friends."

"I can’t say enough great things about this school and Coach Rob. From day one, he’s been incredibly thorough in his teaching, breaking down every technique in a way that makes it easy to understand and apply. His attention to detail and passion for Jiu-Jitsu are next level, and he genuinely cares about every student’s progress. The atmosphere here is welcoming, whether you’re a total beginner or have experience. The training partners are supportive, and there’s a strong sense of camaraderie that pushes everyone to improve. If you’re looking for a place to learn solid fundamentals, sharpen your skills, and be part of an awesome community, this is it. Highly recommend!"
