"Rat Town Jiu Jitsu has been a great place to train and start/continue my Jiu Jitsu journey. The classes are dynamic + challenging. The coaches and folks that train there are awesome and I'm grateful to train under them and with them. I've had the privilege to begin my training with my kids, they have an excellent kids program and really care to teach the next generation. I enjoy watching them develop their confidence and learn a valuable life skill set. I I look forward to continuing to develop my personal Jiu Jitsu skill set and hopefully submit/choke some people out or the opposite"

"Walked into Rat Town Jiu Jitsu for the first time about 9 months ago and my only regret is not starting sooner. Top tier coaches to world class seminars in a unique atmosphere. Nothing but love and respect for this place. All hail Rat Town!"
Oriana Oliveros
"I cannot recommend Rat Town enough! From day one, I felt welcomed, supported, and completely safe which, as a woman, is so important when trying martial arts. The instructors are incredibly knowledgeable and patient, and they create a respectful, ego-free environment where everyone is encouraged to learn at their own pace!!! What really stood out to me was how the other students are friendly and helpful, and there’s a strong sense of community. I leave every class feeling stronger, more confident, and empowered. If you’ve ever been curious about trying jiu-jitsu but felt intimidated, this is 100% the place to start. You’ll feel safe, respected, and supported every step of the way. If you are a woman, Rat Town has a dedicated time for us ONLY on the mats Sunday 10:30-12:00!"
