"I had an amazing experience at Paradise Jiu Jitsu! The gym was spotless, and you can tell they take pride in keeping it clean and well-maintained. The people running open mat were unbelievably nice—super welcoming, helpful, and just great to roll with. Whether you’re visiting or looking for a solid place to train regularly, this gym is definitely worth checking out. Highly recommend!"

"This gym is amazing. It’s very clean, the instructor Christian is highly technical and provides a very welcoming environment for both new students and returning members. I have trained at numerous gyms in my life and this is by far the best one I’ve attended."
