Andre Arata
"This is the best Jiujitsu gym I’ve ever been a part of. I train here, my 10 year boy old trains here and my daughters will train here as soon as they are old enough. Come in and train, you’ll be glad you did."
Nick McWey
"Great gym for all levels and ages. Friendly and welcoming environment mixed with high level coaches and members. Whether your goal is to just learn a new skill and get in shape or to be a high level jiu-jitsu competitor, Positive Balance help you reach that goal. Nicest facility in the area as well. Clean mats, plenty of space, they really have it all!"

"Dylan and his father are both amazing instructors with a positive environment. Everyone at their gym was super welcoming to me when I arrived. The facility was spotless and it was apparent that their passion is what was driving them. I highly recommend anyone in the area to check them out!!"
