What Our Students Say
Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.
Meghan Ferreira
"This jiu jitsu studio is amazing! Great location, super clean, and has a bright, welcoming vibe. The coaches are fantastic—they connected right away with my son and his friends. They had an absolute blast and were completely worn out after the session (in the best way!). Highly recommend for anyone looking for a fun, positive environment for kids!"
Andrew strangio
"Awesome instruction. I’m a beginner and Jared has really taken the time to develop my game. For me personally, BJJ creates great goals and purpose outside of class for overall fitness. All belt levels attend so very diverse and open minded rolling partners which helps. Overall awesome experience so far and found a new hobby for life. 👍🏼"
Kristen Saylor
"Jared and his staff were incredible! Took my daughters and they couldn't wait to go again! Beautiful gym, helpful and informative staff, and great location! From the first second you walk in, you will be impressed!"
Jillian Cook
"My girls (ages 8 & 11) started about a month ago with literally no martial arts experience at all. They have already learned so much and truly enjoy every class. The gym is super clean, the coaches are welcoming, friendly and patient and the flexibility of classes is great. They look forward to every visit and ask when their next class is."
