What Our Students Say

Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.

Anouar Benali

"My 5-year-old daughter has been attending this Jiu-Jitsu class, and I couldn’t be more pleased with our experience. It’s truly the best place a parent could want for their child. My daughter has gained so much more than just basic self-defense skills—she’s developed confidence and a strong sense of self-discipline. The coaches are exceptional, with an incredible ability to connect with kids and teach in a way that builds both their skills and their self-esteem. They are attentive, patient, and always make sure to address each child’s individual fears and strengths. It’s amazing to see how much my daughter has grown in both her ability and her love for Jiu-Jitsu. We are so happy to be part of this wonderful community!"

Greg

"We enrolled our daughter a couple months ago in Progression Jiu Jitsu and the experience has been outstanding! The coaches go above and beyond as mentors for the kids. They have created an environment that is not only focused on technique and discipline but also on building confidence and respect. The coaches are incredibly patient and skilled at breaking down complex moves into manageable steps for kids. What really stands out is their ability to connect and make each session enjoyable. It’s been a great experience and our daughter looks forward to every class. We highly recommend Progression Jiu Jitsu for anyone looking for a positive experience for their kids!"
