Coach J
"Been here since the inception. Have witnessed the progressive growth of the academy on all fronts. Very friendly and knowledgeable Professors and Instructors. The kids BJJ and Muay Thai classes are great as are the adult classes. The facility is clean. White Gi’s are mandatory. You can purchase all of your training needs at the academy or order online. They offer LEO discounts. There’s plenty of parking, too. There’s a run club that meets up on Saturday mornings at 0800. The bathrooms have showers and there’s a changing room. All and all it’s a great family friendly academy."
Pierre Diomi
"I have always wanted to learned martial art since I was a kid, but never had the opportunity until now. BJJ is the thing. It amazing how you learn different techniques, how to move your body during every class and all the coaches are amazing. I have lost 20 since joining this gym, thanks to the conditioning the coaches put us through during every classes. I would recommend this gym to anyone."
Thomas Engelman
"Honestly joining this gym was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made for myself. After finishing my wrestling career I felt like I was missing a part of me. After hearing about one way through my brother who’s the wrestling coach here. I signed up for the free trial. The free trial was a very fun experience and I ended up learning so much. The atmosphere here is fantastic. “Everyone is very welcoming. Anyone with any level of experience is welcomed in with open arms. The quality of coaching from the entire staff is very high level. I’ve been coming into this gym for several months and the results have shown through competition. I’ve made so many friends here that I hang out with outside the gym. If you are worried about getting hurt don’t be. Safety is a high priority here. You’ll be looked out for and taken care of. Highly recommend coming in for the free trial if you are considering it."
Denise Montoya
"Great Gym. My son has been training for a few months and his confidence has improved tremendously. I’ve been interested in training Martial Arts for a few years now but felt a bit intimidated by the sport, however, all the coaches here are kind, pleasant and skilled and I have now joined as well. Excited for this new beginning."
