Michael Codd
"I attended a class here on vacation. Really welcoming atmosphere. Met a bunch of great people. The coach is very knowledgeable & breaks down techniques into easy to understand details. Learned a lot, had some fun rolls. Hope to get back there one day. OSS"

"Some reviews matter and most are useless. Hopefully you see the use in this one. If you want a great place for your kids to begin their journey into jiu-jitsu, and or further advance the skills they already possess, Jon and his team of respectable and gifted coaches are the absolute best. Both of my kids currently attend this amazing Academy and it’s truly inspiring to see what they have attained. I highly recommend this Academy!"
Amber Elliott
"My daughter and I stopped by on our trip. I was very pleased with how welcoming everyone was. Not only that they know what they are doing here and you will learn a lot. I know we did in only one day. If we lived close this is the place we would go. Defiantly recommend taking yourself and kids. Thank you again for having us."
Shane Carter
"The best decision you’ll ever make. If you’re reading reviews, it means you’re actively considering starting your BJJ journey. That’s the first step in the right direction. The hardest part of your entire journey, the one that most people never do, is just walking through that door the first time. If you’re reading reviews have reservations, if you’re hesitant, if your mind is filled with “what if’s”, just walk through the door. After walking through the door, you’ll find that you’re greeted and treated like family. Your coaches at SBJJA are Top Tier, friendly, knowledgeable, and eager to help you develop into the best version of yourself. Your training partners are also friendly and we’re all here to learn and grow together. Benefits: - Improves your overall health with training - strength and stamina increased - weight loss - improve mobility/flexibility - breeds confidence - learn practical skills - socialize with like minded individuals - helps analytical and critical thinking skills - for both hobbyists AND competitive athletes - family friendly with Adult AND Kids classes - Gi AND No Gi formats Time is going to pass regardless. It’s better to have something to show for that time. This is training and skills you can carry with you wherever life takes you. The hardest belt to earn is the white one, because most people never start. There’s no place I’d rather be"
