"had a great time visiting this gym while staying in southern utah for the holidays! Dwight runs a great gym experience that is very unique for a small town. Drop in and get some rolls in and the guys there will treat you like family"

"Having been involved as a hobbyist in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu for a total of about five years now, albeit with intermittent breaks due to relocations, I've had the privilege of training at various gyms. However, none have come close to the exceptional experience offered by Coach Dwight at Patriot Jiu-Jitsu. Coach Dwight isn't just an instructor; he's an enthusiastic student and master of the art, seamlessly blending expertise with an infectious passion for the art. What sets him apart is his unique ability to make the intricacies of BJJ accessible and enjoyable for everyone, regardless of age or skill level. Under his guidance, I've honed my techniques and discovered a newfound passion for BJJ. At Patriot Jiu-Jitsu, Coach Dwight has fostered a community that embodies his ethos of camaraderie, positivity, and dedication. Training alongside fellow students who share his enthusiasm has been both inspiring and motivating, creating an environment that truly enhances the learning experience. Since joining Patriot Jiu-Jitsu under Coach Dwight's instruction a year ago, my journey in BJJ has undergone a remarkable transformation. Not only have my skills and knowledge flourished, but I've also witnessed significant improvements in my physical conditioning and overall well-being. Without a doubt, Coach Dwight and Patriot Jiu-Jitsu have been instrumental in my growth as a martial artist and as an individual, fostering self-confidence and resilience that extends beyond the mat. Furthermore, Coach Dwight's emphasis on safety, injury prevention, and mobility training has instilled confidence and longevity in everyone at Patriot Jiu-Jitsu, ensuring that each session is productive and conducive to well-being. Without a doubt, Coach Dwight and Patriot Jiu-Jitsu have been pivotal in shaping not just my ability as a martial artist but also my growth as an individual."

"Coach Dwight or should I say Ninja Dwight is an amazing teacher and leader. I have learned SO MUCH from him and honestly this is the best jiu jitsu academy I've ever joined. Although I was only 1 of 2 women that regularly trained there (at least in the evening classes) I never felt looked down upon because I am a woman. All the men here are encouraging and made me feel welcomed and comfortable. Coach Dwight truly cares about his students and goes above and beyond to help them grow. Coach Dwight even trained some friends and I for free for multiple women's self defense classes. I asked him if we could pay him and he said no. This says a lot about his character. COME TRAIN HERE!!! I especially encourage women to come train here, learning jiu jitsu for self defense and for fun has made me physically and mentally stronger. It has even helped my confidence. May God bless Coach Dwight, his family, and everyone who trains here. 🥷✨️✝️"

"Coach Dwight and his family are an amazing asset to our community. He is putting in the hard work and hours to teach our youth the value and benefits that come from hard work and determination. He is teaching them to love and appreciate our freedom, and to stand up for others. While they are learning these things, they are getting countless hours of physical activity and sunshine, in a supportive and safe environment. They are learning to defend themselves, develop patience and discipline, and most importantly, to be kind, but that you do not have to be victimized. I edited this review to talk about Coach Dwight's mobility training and advice for people who have experienced injury. He taught me exercises to strengthen the weak side of my body and improve my posture. He taught me about "useless" stretches, which don't actually help you, and can leave you feeling even more sore. Patriot Jiu-Jitsu is a one-stop shop for the whole family, when it comes to improving your physical activity and performance in any way, whether you are a mom with an aching back, or a blue-collar worker like myself who lifts heavy things and stands all day long. The environment is supportive as well, I feel perfectly safe and comfortable training with Dwight. He is great with all ages of people and levels of activity."
