What Our Students Say
Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.
Breezie Bitter
"We’ve been with SOMA for 3 years and have had great experiences. Our son typically is quick to quit things, but he has been determined to stick it out and has grown so much in the process. I attribute his enthusiasm to learn and grow in the sport to his coaches encouragement and teaching. James and Jared have become role models for him and he looks forward to learning from them. We just signed our other son up and he has been loving it and can’t wait to progress in the sport. We highly recommend SOMA!"
Eliza King
"I was nervous about my 3.5 year old trying out classes, but James and his team are great! The classes are so fun and they’ve made sure she’s comfortable and following along. She loves it so much! My husband has also started classes and is having a great time!"
Jason Woodhouse
"I was visiting from the Boise area due to work. They let me jump right in and train with them. I was just happy to find a local place to let me come and get a workout in. But I got so much more than anticipated. I was blown away by the level of instruction that was given! These instructors were legit! And they were very kind, patient, and engaging with all levels. All in all- the class, vibe, students, pace, and instructors were amazing! I had a great time and will definitely return when I'm back in town."
Mitch Smith
"Soma Jiu Jitsu Academy has been life changing for me. The environment is supportive and uplifting and the team is incredible. If you’re apprehensive about attending your first class, don’t be. The team was very welcoming and kind when I attended my first class and that kindness has carried through every class I’ve been to. It has been an incredible experience. I would recommend it to anyone and everyone. It has been so beneficial to my physical and mental health."
