What Our Students Say

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

Elaine Hansen

"I love Soma! I love Soma for me and I love it for my children. Both Matt Strack and Garrett Myers are gifted teachers. They are so obviously knowledgeable of the sport, and have an amazing ability to present jiu jitsu to all ages and abilities in a way that can be easily understood. They teach on self defense and learning for the sake of learning while also recognizing that competition sharpens skills and gives their students ownership in the sport. I really appreciate the balance they strike with that. They constantly encourage character building in their youth classes and it provides great conversations in our home. They’re also extremely affordable which is a huge win! I LOVE THIS GYM!"

Justin Spoerl

"Soma Academy is Awesome! Instructors Mr. Myers & Mr. Regis are extremely knowledgeable and great teachers! The structure of the class is very impressive supporting learning Jiu Jitsu and also character development inside and outside of class. Our children are 10, 8 & 6 years old and have been participating for 6 months. We can’t say enough positive things about Soma Academy!!"

Darcia Nunes

"Highly recommend! My husband and I are from BRASIL and we were looking for a BR Jiu Jitsu class to enroll our 5 year old son. This was the first group activity our son was going to try and we didn’t know how he would engage or react to it. We are so happy we found SOMA Jiu Jitsu. The instructor, Garret, and his assistant are incredible with kids. From the first class our son left SOMA loving it. The classes are very engaging, filled with techniques but at the same time fun. And I love the fact that they are twice a week. After only three weeks at SOMA, our little one is loving it and jiu jitsu days are his favorites of the week. Ps: there is a very cool Indian grocery store next door and two Mexican restaurants at the same mall complex. Very convenient for getting some treats after the JJ class or take out dinner for busy days at home."

Jerry Berning

"I’ve been training at Soma for a few months now after previously training at another gym. I can say that I’ve enjoyed every minute of it. I mostly attend this location which is taught by instructor Garrett Myers who is a brown belt. Garrett is a great teacher and has a ton of knowledge. I recommend this gym to anyone who wants to learn Gracie jiu jitsu!"
