What Our Students Say

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

Mandy Donald

"Coach Justin is a wonderful instructor. He is positive and encouraging but he also challenges us to do more than we think we can. The other students have been great to work with. The whole atmosphere is very welcoming. I have learned a lot in just a few months. Also, the price is very reasonable for the amount of training being offered."

Shelby Stockman

"Rankin Jiu-Jitsu Academy has been such a breath of fresh air for our family. Coach Justin has such a wonderful temperament and can do attitude with both children and adults. If you’ve ever thought to try Jiu-Jitsu yourself or enroll your kiddos, Rankin Jiu-Jitsu Academy is the premier BJJ establishment in Brandon!"

David Pickering

"Great environment great instructor and great group of adults. Everyone is willing to help each other no matter your skill level. Highly recommend checking this place out just to see if you would be interested in starting jiujitsu. Justin is the instructor and he loves what he does. He’s put a lot of love and effort into his gym and you notice it as soon as you walk in. Come check it out. You won’t be disappointed."

Robert Sanders

"Coach Justin is great. He has a temperament that allow kids to learn jiu-jitsu in a cohesive environment. My son is 9 and loves coming to every class. I also come to the adult class and it is fantastic. I am in better shape and have learned a ton. The class is not intimidating and is scaled for the student as they learn. It is so great that my 13 year old daughter attends and hates when she has to miss a class. If you are on the fence give their free week a try. You will not regret it."
