What Our Students Say
Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.
Valerie plump
"I've had the privilege of training with Aidan for nearly 7 years! It's been amazing watching him grow into the sport of Jiu Jitsu. I think the best thing with Aidan coaching the kids is that he himself grew up through the children's program and into the adult program all the while helping to coach the other children and leading numerous kids classes. Because of this, he knows first hand how to gain the childrens respect and attention. Also, this guides him in his ability to show even the youngest of practitioners the key details of movements for them to understand and be able to make their own bodies work in that way. I highly recommend Aidan as a coach. You will be in good hands."

"Coach Aidan Levy has coached our son Niikai for 2 years and has a amazing way of bringing out the best of his students. Thank you Coach! - The Jackson Family"

"My daughter (7) and son (5) practiced BJJ and was coached by Aidan. Aidan is a great coach, especially for kids. He has patience and so much experience that he always has control over the situations that develop during practice. Whether kids need to refocus or need more time on a move, Aidan is always calm and cool! Highly recommend Aidan as a coach!"

"I brought my 3 sons into Padawan BJJ while visiting their Grandparents in Bethany Beach for the week of New Year’s Eve. I was very pleased with the coaching and the visitor pricing. The head coach is a very impressive young man who genuinely seems to enjoy working with young students. I presented a challenge to my sons; Be the first to land the submission they learned from head coach Aiden once they were back in their home gym, it took 2 days.We are all now looking forward to our next beach trip to see the Grandparents even more!"
