What Our Students Say

Jason Klinghoffer
"Putting into words what Phenom has been for me over the past 7+ years isn't possible. My Jiu Jitsu journey has had its ups and downs as life has thrown at me the inevitable variables I have had to adjust to. Marriage, kids, career changes, injuries...everything a middle-aged adult can expect to deal with. The one constant has been where I train and the community/family I have surrounded myself with. There are many BJJ gyms you can choose from, but I assure you they are not all equal. Professor Martin is one of one. His knowledge of the game is something I equate to what Chess Grandmasters achieve. A knowledge steeped heavily in the tiniest detail of every move and body position required to execute a transition or submission. Coming from a deep lineage of the best to ever play the game, Professor Martin and the other Phenom Professors and Coaches bring a wealth of knowledge, compassion and a deep desire to see you succeed in whatever your path may be. If you are looking to start your journey into jiu jitsu I'll save you the headache of looking for answers. Come see Professor Martin and see where this wonderful sport and amazing family of enthusiasts and competitors can take you. Oss!"

"I absolutely love this gym. Been training here for around 3 months now and I've been to other gyms and nothing beats this. Phenom has amazing professors and Professor Martin is my personal favorite, he's always checking in on me to see if I'm going to class and teases me for days I miss class 🤣 Gym has really great people here too, met alot of cool individuals and I'm looking forward to the future training at this gym. Overall super clean, friendly, and nicely themed with great professors to learn from."

"There’s just too much to say about Phenom, Professor Martin, and the students here. If I had to summarize, I would say Professor Martin is kind, humble, and EXTREMELY skilled. Those qualities definitely flowed downwards to the students too! My son went to another school for several years and it was good, but the instruction here is on another level. We are willing to drive an extra an hour and 30 minutes, five days a week, to be here. If you want your child to do their best jiu-jitsu while building good character, come to Phenom!"
Jacob Freeman
"I’ve been to quite a few open mats in my BJJ journey, and I haven’t come across a place like Phenom. Phenom BJJ is great, I felt very welcome, the professor is very knowledgeable, articulate, laid back and kind. The team is very caring, and professional - no spazzes, egos, or territorial people - which for someone getting back into it is perfect. If you’re nervous, which I understand, rest assured. Just take the first step!!! - and Phenom will take it from there. 5 stars - I would recommend."
