What Our Students Say
Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.
Derek Roberts
"I dropped in for a class while visiting from Charleston and couldn’t have felt more welcomed. The environment was clean, the instruction was top-notch, and the community was incredibly friendly. Whether you’re local or just passing through, I highly recommend checking it out!"
Sarah Keenan
"We have only been coming to this studio for about a month now. My daughter 8, and son 7, absolutely love it. We are new to Jui-Jitsu all together and I can say that even being new and being mixed in with kids that have been doing it for years, they are so patient with each one. I find myself really getting into as well. Very fascinating sport! The studio is clean, easy to access, and even a place where we can watch the kids work and practice. We have thoroughly enjoyed being there! We highly recommend Andrew Pardee and his studio. We have already seen a difference in our kids focus, ability to socialize, and their excitement.. they love it!"

"Nice clean gym with clean bathrooms and plenty of space. They have a shoe, gym bag, and water bottle area next to the mats so you don’t have to go far for water breaks. There is a door to a large side room with a large area with tables and seats incase you have a need. This room is good for kids to color or keep themselves busy if they don’t want to sit in the gym seating area. There is a great seating area that is slightly elevated to watch the training. My kids love it, moreover; Professor Pardee and Victoria have patience with explaining and making sure the kids understand the moves. Great place in our local area!"
Sterling Brown
"This is a good school. Pardee knows jiu jitsu and loves his students. I am glad my family and I are part of Pardee’s school ."
