Brandon Nelson
"I’ve been doing jiujitsu for over 10+ years now and I’ve been with Coach Jojo for several years now. I’ve trained all over the country done Gi and No Gi Brazilian jiujitsu. Coach Jojo has been the best coach for me and my jiujitsu I’ve ever had. Not only do we have an extremely talented team we also have a very positive and safe environment. Come try a class! We would love to have you as part of our team!"

"Coach Allie is the best! Ever since she took over the Little Llamas and Juniors classes, I have seen a remarkable improvement in my sons technique. She is able to tailor each class to the personalities of the kids. She incorporates games to get out some of the wiggles, she's up to date with the music and dances the kids like and is able to connect with them through it, and she takes the time to really listen and instruct each kid. She meets them at whatever level they are at. She makes the environment feel like a family and I feel so lucky and blessed to have her coach my son."

"I was looking to take self defense class and Rise Up offers a women's only self defense class led by Coach Mary Beth and it's phenomenal. I had so much fun I decided to give Muay Thai a chance with Coach Eric and fell in love with the sport. Rise Up is the cleanest, safest and most fun studio I've ever been too. All the coaches are kind and caring and supportive. The environment is extremely empowering and my classmates are all awesome. I'm so happy I found this studio."
Rebecca Hendricks
"My 6 year old started attending Rise Up almost a year ago and a couple months later I also enrolled my 14 year old. Coach Lauren is exactly what my 6 year old needs in a coach. She is the perfect balance of patience and assertiveness. She encourages the kids but also keeps them focused. Before taking my teen to jujitsu classes, she was depressed and had no drive for anything. She was very reluctant to try jujitsu but after her first trial class, she was begging me to enroll her. She has found something she truly loves and it has not only given her confidence and helped her mood but she’s also more helpful at home, has an overall better attitude and she is happier. Coach Jojo is a strong female role model I am very thankful to have in my girl’s life. “I like jujitsu a lot and I didn’t think I would like it but I do and the people there are really nice. I appreciate everything they do there. Coach jojo is funny and she pairs people up well”. - A (14) “It’s really fun at the end because we get to play and I love it. I love the whole thing because there’s friends. Coach Lauren is funny because sneaky foot is called sneaky foot and it’s funny. She’s really fun.” - J (6)"
