What Our Students Say

Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.

Melissa Lopez

"Our kids have been taking classes at this studio for the last 4 years! We love it!!! Our family can’t speak highly enough about our time here. The experience they’ve had with Coach Drew has been more than incredible. They have learned a tremendous amount of skills and are so confident in their classes! They look forward to the days we have class and truly enjoy their time with Drew and the other students. They’ve made lifelong friends here and are going to continue to be students here for the long run. So thankful for such a wonderful jiu-jitsu studio and coach in Danville! 🥋🙌🏼"

Michelle Bower

"We enrolled 2 years ago and we’ve been nothing but happy. We’ve seen tremendous growth in our son. Drew is an excellent coach! He fosters respect, skill development, self discipline and defense. We love the new name! It embodies the way Drew coaches our children. The love or pursuit of wisdom, knowledge and understanding. Try it out. You won’t regret it."

Shyanne Brode

"Coach Drew’s teachings have been amazing for our family. Our son started there a year ago. He was always very shy, timid and slow to warm up to people. BJJ has given him so much confidence. He loves going every week. Our daughter has just started recently and they love being able to do it together. The atmosphere is very family-like and we couldn’t be happier we found this gym!!"

Jentine Mosdal

"My son has been at Philo-Sophia for a few months now. Coach Drew is great with all the kids. He's patient and explains everything to them. He keeps them on track and encourages them. I'm happy to have found an extracurricular which is a great fit for my family."
