"Dropped in for a couple rolls and had a great experience. The instruction was very technical, the rolls were great, and the vibe was extremely welcoming with zero ego. I’m a brown belt out of Syndicate in Las Vegas and have trained at a lot of world-class gyms — this one definitely belongs on that list. A good friend of mine has his son training here too, and he’s been loving the kids program. It’s clear they put a lot of care into building both skill and confidence in the younger students. Whether you’re visiting or local, this gym is absolutely worth checking out."
"Our son started at PVBJJ almost a year ago. The practice came highly recommended from a friend with a similarly energetic 6 year old. The atmosphere is loving and welcoming while also holding high expectations. My favorite part is the amount of movement happening during the hour long class. There is less than 10 minutes of sitting and this is when they're observing the instructions and at the end during practice matches. My son's improvement from day one has been highly noticeable and he loves it. This includes both during class and with behavior at home. I even got involved during a parent and me class and really enjoyed myself."
"I was so impressed with how welcoming and well-structured the classes are—especially for kids! The instructors give clear, consistent guidance and create an environment where kids can stay engaged and focused, which is so important (especially for those with attention challenges). You can tell they really understand how to work with different learning styles and build both skill and confidence in a fun, supportive way. Highly recommend for families looking for a positive outlet that also teaches discipline, focus, and respect."
"My son and I train while on vacation and have been all over. John and his team are great! Good vibes, great Jiu-jitsu, and awesome people. I highly recommend checking them out if you're in the area. Thanks for the rolls guys!"
