What Our Students Say
Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.
Nick Tambe
"We enrolled our 9 year old daughter into Shogun West in August of 24’. Right away, we realized that we gained a new family. The coaches, students and parents are very tight knit and our time there quickly has become our favorite part of our week. 5 stars isn’t enough for this review. If you’re on the fence, just come check it out. You will not regret it!"
Marissa
"We’re so thankful we found this gym, we’ve seen so much growth & a huge boost of confidence in our 5 year old son since starting! Everyone is so welcoming & patient & its super clean. 10/10!"
Ethan
"This is a fantastic place to train! When my current jiu-jitsu gym was between spaces Shogun West allowed us to train there, very gracious of them to do that! I found the classes to be excellent and I really liked the way they were structured with a lesson, followed by drilling, and then some rolling. The other members were really nice and humble, definitely no egos! All my interactions with the owners and members were positive. If I didn't already have a gym I would definitely be a member. My only regret is I should've had my kiddos try some kids classes as I'm sure those would've been good as well. Thank you Shogun West! --Ethan"
NVS
"I started training at Shogun West after a long layoff. They were incredibly welcoming and I can't say enough good things about Coach Cody, Don, Henry, and Kevin. They are all highly skilled and talented coaches and grapplers. The atmosphere is all about getting better at BJJ whether your goals are self defense, fitness, or competition. I highly recommend it here, it is the best location on the west side. The new location in TSE is top of the line as well."
