Jenna V
"My son has been attending classes since October at SKBJJ Academy and we love it. All of the instructors are amazing with the kids and match them up very well. It has been so fun to watch my son grow in skill and technique while having a great time. If you are considering SKBJJ do it! You will not be disappointed."
Keanyn Johnson
"Our family LOVES SKBJJ, our oldest son has been taking lessons for almost 2 years and we couldn’t speak more highly of this place! My son has had issues with bullies and being shy. However, this place has given him the confidence to speak up and be strong not just for himself but to help others in need as well. We highly recommend SKBJJ to many people for many reasons but mostly because we are so happy with all the results!"
Joel Williamson
"SKBJJ is a great place to train. James and Michelle are really good with kids. I've had 4 of my kids take classes with them and they have all had great experiences. The adult classes are also been an excellent way to stay in shape and learn ju jitsu with alot of awesome people!"
Alex Godinet
"SKBJJ is seriously the best outlet for my kiddo. Michelle, James, Beto… the whole squad are always so friendly but at the same time able to guide and teach the kids during their sessions properly and seems like with ease. We are going on year three with my son and when my youngest is old enough we will have him join too. Can’t say enough great things about them. So happy we came across them."
