Kyle Richter
"Incredible Academy to teach your children the art of Jiu Jitsu. The professors and assistants are phenomenal with children. Will make sure that all 3 of my boys train here as long as possible. 10/10 recommend this place. You won’t regret it!"
Eduarda Montenegro
"Absolutely loving my experience at this gym! The jiu-jitsu classes are amazing, and the real highlight for me has been the women’s classes. The energy is so empowering, supportive, and fun. It is exactly what I was looking for. I also love how the classes combine functional training with jiu-jitsu. It keeps everything dynamic, challenging, and super effective. I leave every class feeling stronger, more confident, and excited to come back. I am so glad I found this place. I highly recommend it, especially for women looking to train in a positive and motivating environment!"

"We absolutely love SIA and recommend it to anyone looking for a great jiu jitsu academy! We started our son at 5.5 years old with just the goal of having him learn basic self defense skills. 3+ years later we’ve seen him grow so much physically and mentally. He’s gained valuable skills and confidence. He has enjoyed it so much that he even started competing in tournaments over the past year. The professors and staff are what make SIA special. They’re wonderful with the kids and genuinely care for each student. An added bonus is the community of families we’ve met and the friendships our son has made along the way."

"I've been going here for about two or so months and the professors are nice but thorough, and have really helped me to learn and improve my skills. The environment is very positive, and they don't make you feel bad if you don't get something the first time and will help work with you through it. I've really enjoyed my time here and very glad that I found this studio."
