What Our Students Say
Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.
Austin Reising
"I’ve been a student of Gabe’s for a little over two years now and his school and instruction are unmatched. Gabe teaches what works and it’s proven itself time and time again. The adult classes focus on technical skills and give competitive training rounds post-instruction. You won’t find a better “bang for your buck.” The school is very welcoming. Best part is that every time you walk in the door you’re learning something new."
Haven L
"I stopped in for a BJJ class while in town for the eclipse. The instructor, Gabe, was very welcoming, knowledgeable, and a good teacher. The class was excellent, the gym space was clean and the other students were friendly and skilled. I will definitely come back the next time I am in town."
Brian Grant
"Stopped in to train here while I was in the area for work at Camp Perry. Gabriel gave an amazing class, and his students were super welcoming. We had great rolls, and great training. I would definitely train here full-time if I lived in this area."

"My whole family started at this school almost a month ago, and I have nothing but amazing things to say about it. Gabriel is extremely knowledgeable, easy to approach, so patient, and genuinely cares about his students. Second Nature is the best secret in Port Clinton."
