edmond moore
"I have been going to train there on and off for over 3 years.The one thing I love about this team is that they welcome you back everytime.When you walk thru the doors it honestly seems like you never left. I'm back home and now I plan on going full time. These instructors strive to make you feel at home, a better person, and most importantly do what you love to do in a stress free atmosphere."
Eric James
"I was passing through Birmingham and dropped in for a class with Samuel and his students. Everyone was real friendly, the facility was clean and the rolls were great. If you are passing through or thinking about taking up BJJ full time and live in the area, make sure you do it here!"
Josh Beste
"I trained here for 4 months when I lived in Birmingham for work. This is hands down the best gym I have trained at, Samuel is incredibly knowledgable and there are multiple black belts that attend the gym. They have beginner classes and no-gi classes as well. Everyone is very friendly and a joy to train with."
Brian Brock
"Samuel is an exemplary teacher, fighter, and person! I highly recommend this place for both people confident in their skills and people terrified of the idea of BJJ! The community Samuel has built is top notch."
