What Our Students Say

Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.

Keith R. Bishop

"Great place to train for both kids and adults! My kids and I have been Sheridan members for over two years. The instructors are skilled at teaching so many techniques, so students here compete elsewhere and perform well. As a 40+ dad, though, what is even more important to me is Prof. Kevin has established a culture of safety; all instructors and upper-belt students here want everyone to be healthy and able to keep returning to class. You don’t have to worry here about jerk monsters permanently injuring you in your first class like some other BJJ schools out there. Come have fun sweating and learning to defend yourself! There are adult classes at multiple times per day to fit your schedule."

chris Shadis

"I've been at sheridan on and off in between other life events, but Sheridan & the people always stuck with me. I would recommend this school and environment to anybody who has pondered. Great place to be mentally and physically. The support, vibes, and instructors here are like a home away from home. Also the people who train here are awesome. Very grateful for everyone here."

Robert Taussig

"What an amazing gym and culture. I started at one of their 8 week beginner bootcamps, which I highly recommend. I’m 4 months in and train 3 days a week. My only complaint is that this leaves me with 4 days a week where I’m sad that I can’t train. I’ve spoken with several members who landed here after jumping around multiple gyms, and they all said that this one is in a league of its own. Incredibly supportive community and a very intentionally designed culture of positivity and self-improvement. Excellent instructors. Has something to offer for all ages. I’ve struggled with taking care of myself in my day-to-day, and yet these days I’m more than happy to watch my sleep and what I consume because I feel the results on the mat. I have not had a single negative experience, outside of spontaneous moments of regret that I waited three years before trying this gym out."

Ryan Nish

"I turned 40 last spring and was feeling old and out of shape. Shortly thereafter I watched "Billions" on Showtime where Paul Giamatti was training Brazilian jui-jitsu. I thought if he can do it then surely I could too. Haha. I called Kevin Sheridan and he invited me to train and see if I liked it. It was exhilarating and an extremely good work out. The other students were encouraging and generous teaching me techniques and tips to improve. I was surprised that even as a competitive submission art no one has ever tried to cause me any physical harm. The vibe is very energetic, supportive, and community oriented. A couple months after I started I brought my 4 year old son to train at the school also and he does it 3 times per week and loves it and is making a lot of friends. When my daughter is 4 she will join us too. Thanks Kevin, Yannie, Kyvann, Keith, Alex, Yuri and crew, you guys are awesome!"
