What Our Students Say
Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.
Leticia Nicole
"Both of my son's have been attending this school for two years now and love it. Both boys were hesitant to start but with the patience and warm welcoming from the instructors they look forward to class every day. The instructors are very knowledgeable and give their all to the students. We love it here so much that I recently joined as a student as well. 10/10 recommend to anyone who is looking to learn BJJ because five stars isn't enough."
Lauren Pasquariello
"This is hands down a five star BJJ school. I had my son join the 4-7 year old class last year after being extremely bullied at school. This school has given/taught my son confidence, focus, respect for his peers/coaches/parents and endless friendships. Because of all the positive benefits, my husband and I have also recently joined. We love the welcoming environment and how much fun it is to learn something new with our son. I would recommend this school to anyone, kids, teens, adults. It's great for anyone looking to get physically and mentally strong, all while doing something fun."
karin bourguignon
"I can’t possibly recommend this school enough. My son started at the age of 5, he’s been going 5 days a week for the past 10 months. Coach Garret and his team are absolutely top-notch. And more, they care. When you’re there, you’re family. It’s that simple! A wealth of knowledge and an abundance of heart, and hard training. A great combination for anyone who wishes to achieve excellence in BJJ."
Stanley Jackson
"Whether it’s your first time stepping foot on a mat or you’re training for competition this is the gym you want to be in. Professor Garret’s resume and lineage in the art are truly world class and it shows everyday. Kids classes are the perfect combination of challenge, accountability and patience. Come in, see what you’re made of and let professor and the coaches make it better."
