Jo Green
"I had the pleasure of training at Rising Tide Hi Tech while in town for a two-month work trip, and I can’t say enough good things about this gym. From day one, they welcomed me with open arms and made me feel like part of the family. The culture and community at Rising Tide are truly something special—supportive, inclusive, and the perfect fit for practitioners of any level or background. The instructors are not only incredibly knowledgeable and professional, but they also create an environment that fosters growth, discipline, and camaraderie. The training partners struck the perfect balance of being both welcoming and challenging, improving each other everyday. It’s rare to come across a gym like this. I’m grateful for the experience and will absolutely be back whenever I’m in town!"
Rowan Childers
"My kids have been attending for the last 7 months, they love it so much. One struggles with social communications and has opened up to make new friends in and out of class. He has a lot more confidence in school as well when it comes to school work and participation in class. My other kid struggles with sitting still and instructions in school, he has also made huge improvements. The coaches are very calm, understanding, and patient with all the kids. You can tell the coaches like to train kids in Jiu Jitsu and want them to succeed! If you are looking for a place for your kids to become more confident and independent while feeling comfortable and accepted no matter their short comings, this is the place!"
Arianna Calvert
"Rising Tide High Tech is a phenomenal gym, even with large adult class sizes each student is sure to receive individual one on one attention and corrections if needed. The classes are all challenging but build on each other perfectly to foster growth and track progress. But my favorite thing about this gym is the people. The coaches are so kind and helpful and make an effort to know and help improve every student that comes into the gym. Nothing is better than comming to class and being welcomed by so many positive attitudes and smiling faces. Best Jiu jitsu gym I have ever attended!"
Kyle Snell

I’m really enjoying being part of the team and highly recommend this place to anyone looking for high-quality martial arts training in a positive atmosphere!"
