"This is a great gym. Tim, the owner, is very professional, knowledgeable, and all around a fun guy to learn from. In just 2 hours he’d already improved my bjj game. This place doesn’t just have a good owner, the guys and gals who train there are very welcoming. I recommend this place to anyone who wants to do bjj."
