What Our Students Say
Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.
William Orr
"Pittman Jiu Jitsu has become a foundational part of our family. We have been training around 9 months now and look forward to it every week. The entire staff is knowledgeable, attentive and supportive. No matter the level of understanding you have of martial arts, or the age of the student, Professor Pittman and his staff are able and willing to teach. We have two children, the oldest of which is 4 and loves coming to training and the youngest is 2 and can’t wait until she turns 3 so she can start training. This is a great outlet for all the extra energy while also building up core principles to train my children to have integrity. We have found it to be so much more than just self defense. It has helped us teach the principles and core values we want in our family. We highly recommend Pittman’s to any family looking to build up their family dynamic or just looking to learn self defense. Professor Pittman and his team are committed to helping you and your family meet your goals. They will work with you where you are at to make it happen. So thankful for this community, because that is what they are, a community."
Jennifer Christopher
"Faith, Family, and World-Class Jiu Jitsu! Pittman Jiu Jitsu is truly something special. From the moment we walked in, we felt welcomed—not just as a student, but as part of a Christ-centered family. The instruction is top-notch, and the instructors are incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and encouraging. But what sets Pittman apart is the way they integrate Christian values into everything they do. Whether it’s opening class with a word of wisdom, a time of reflection, showing respect and humility on the mats, or encouraging each other with grace, this gym reflects the love of Christ in both word and action. Our son has grown so much here—not just in his knowledge of Jiu Jitsu, but in character. If you’re looking for a place to train hard, grow spiritually, and be surrounded by uplifting people, Pittman Jiu Jitsu is the place to be!"
Kimberly Heath
"The best thing about Pittman Jiu Jitsu is the affordability for the whole family to join. There are not a lot of activities you can do as a family for that low of a monthly price. Also, you get to work side by side with your family members as it's not split by ages. I feel like I can learn and mentor my kiddos at the same time so it's nice. I highly recommend if you're looking for something to do as a family."

"I have thoroughly enjoyed my time at Pittman Jiu Jitsu. Pittman and his instructors are always polite, respectful, and patient to the point that they will even reexplain things and demonstrate again if you've felt like you've missed something. Pittman incorporates ethics and responsibility into his training, aiming to ensure his students are above reproach when it comes to any use of force. You can tell he cares. Shout out to the red-hair instructor, I always enjoy training with him and his professionalism. I'd deduct a star from this review just to make it seem "more authentic", but I'm having trouble coming up with something to deduct it for. I live an hour away and it's worth the drive."
