"I visited this school while on vacation. The owner, Paul, and his students are extremely kind and welcoming. Paul has an incredible background in BJJ and has trained with some of the best in the world, and he definitely knows what he's talking about when he speaks about technique, safety, and martial arts philosophy. I'm glad that I took the time to stop in during my visit to Utah, and I look forward to going back some day. -Ryan Nix"
