Harley McBurney
"Phoenix Down and the staff have been wonderful with my five year old. He has shown so much growth in his attitude and confidence. Would absolutely recommend Jace and his team!"
Ferrell Dible
"I'm enrolled the adult class. Been training since late January. The classes are fun and engaging. I come away from each class a little more confident in my skills and abilities. The school is clean and inviting. Jace, Jared and Dane are great instructors. The community of school is great and welcoming of all ages and skill level."
Toni Erdmann
"Amazing place to go. My 2 boys have been going here for almost a year now and they love it, I love it and the instructors are amazing. These guys do so good with kids and these kids really learn and retain because of the repetition. Thanks guys for all your hard work making such an amazing learning platform for these kiddos."
Jessica Wirth
"We brought our son here for the summer trial and we have all loved and are loving the whole experience! Jace makes sure each kid gets the one on one they need and makes each of them feel special... the things they are taught here will build their confidence and know how to defend themselves without using violence and I love knowing my child is learning the skills he needs should he come in contact with an attacker or bully. I highly highly recommend phoenix down Brazilian jujitsu."
