dylan falduto
"Potential Jiu Jitsu is great!! This gym goes above and beyond to offer a great grappling curriculum and environment for people of all ability levels. Some stand outs to me are the considerations and attention to detail made by coach Kris Olivo to consider both more advanced and beginner students. The facility itself is beautiful with a recovery room that includes a sauna and cold plunge. Heather at the desk was extremely kind and helpful as well! 5/5 recommend to anyone looking to get in shape and learn martial arts in an inviting environment!"
Bradley Crowell
"Brand new jiu jitsu studio with a huge floor mat and a cold plunge, opened by Kris - a black belt with more than a decade of competition experience and trained by a jiu jitsu legend. Kris is super friendly, the studio is really clean, and he works with all levels (even kids). Just getting started? Call them. Been around the block? You’ll be in good hands. Plenty of parking."
Raquel Paaluhi
"The newest and hottest Jiujitsu studio in town! I’ve known Kris for ten years now and he has great Jiujitsu, is kind, caring and will give his best to you as an instructor. Heather is amazing and will bring the warm, motherly and organized feel every gym needs. We are so excited to see what they both do here in this community. Come by!"
R Canuto
"What a beautiful gym, instructor is a great guy, very knowledgeable, well rounded in all things jiujitsu and an active star in the BJJ scene. The gym is owned by both Chris and Heather. So if you are a male or female you can be sure to feel welcome and respected in here. Don’t hesitate to schedule a trial. We love it here!"
