What Our Students Say
Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.
Emily Gunner
"The team here is wonderful. They are very welcoming, and my daughter has really enjoyed the classes. The community at the gym is very close and everyone seems to know one another. The teachers take the sport seriously which seems to help the kids advance quickly. It is also nice that they have adult classes at the same time a kids classes so you could get a workout in while your kid does if you are interested."
Robert Powell
"My experience with these guys was great, and yet it still didn’t work out for me. I’m kind of old to start a bjj journey, but I wanted my son to do it so I pushed him and signed up myself. Fast forward and he loves it. Me not so much. When I reached out to them to end my contract they looked at my attendance and saw that I hadn’t been there in quite some time, so they immediately cancelled me and actually refunded the previous month. If you’ve ever tried to cancel a gym membership you probably understand how shocking this was. TLDR. These guys are the best."
Eric Martinson
"Excellent gym, both in terms of the quality of instruction and overall gym culture. In addition to training myself, I have also enrolled my daughter and I could not be happier with the results. The level of engagement and commitment demonstrated by Billy and his team is second to none."
Laurel Smith
"I’m so thankful for this gym! I started here with zero prior experience. When I called to set up my first class, Patches at the front desk was so helpful and immediately made me feel welcomed. I’ve been a member here for almost 2 years now and I’m so incredibly thankful for Billy’s phenomenal instruction which makes learning jiu jitsu easy to understand, all of the other incredible instructors, and the community I have built with the people here at this gym."
