D.J. Mackie
"Top notch Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in Sparta with the area's only BJJ Black Belt who comes from an extensive training background. Check em out!"
Jeffrey “Bull” Bulakowski
"Looking for an amazing martial arts experience? Look no further than Shotoforce Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Dojo! My sons (14 and 18) have been training here for over a year, and I can’t say enough about the incredible impact it’s had on them. Under the guidance of their Sensei—a highly experienced and knowledgeable black belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and other martial arts—they’ve made phenomenal progress. I’m beyond proud of how their skills and confidence have soared since day one. What sets this dojo apart? Sensei’s patience is unmatched, and he has a gift for knowing exactly when to push his students to bring out their best. As homeschoolers, my boys also love the warm, family-oriented, and Christian atmosphere—it’s like a second home. Whether you’re a beginner or have experience, I HIGHLY recommend Shotoforce. Trust me, you won’t find a better place to train, grow, and thrive!😁"
Angel Mendez
"Great place for my son learning jiu-jitsu for self-defense, self development, and self-confidence."
John Hart
"I was able to help them with a few things when they were getting things ready to open and have gotten to know the owners through our church. Very knowledgeable and just wants to share his love for the Lord while staying physically and mentally fit. Most definitely would recommend"
