"I've been working with Coach Derrick for about two years now and my body and my life have entirely transformed. I honestly thought I knew just about all there was to know about working out and improving my physique , until I met Coach Derrick. I let Derrick take the reigns (which I NEVER do) and the rest was history. My physique, my mindset, and my life have grown exponentially under Derrick's guidance. We train with a combination of olympic weight lifting, boxing and Jiu Jitsu. Derrick is professional, beyond knowledgeable, and coaches in a way for us to understand and fully soak in to apply to our goals. His approach is not only sustainable, but also enjoyable. Trust that under his guidance, you will meet and surpass all of your goals and come out a better human."
"So glad we put our son in Jiu Jitsu. We have seen a lot of improvements in his overall confidence and fitness. Derrick is a great coach and offers a few different classes based on age and levels. Highly recommend bringing your child here."
"I have been training at SOTG Jiu Jitsu for almost 3 months and I am having a blast (even at 53 years old)!!! Coach Derrick and the team provides a fun, safe, and challenging environment to learn jiu Jitsu, get a great workout, pressure test our skills, and make friends. I look forward to each training session from the warmup, drills, and rolling. I hope to make SOTG Jiu Jitsu a lifestyle for a lifetime!"
"Derrick has been my trainer for the past 3+ years. He’s the best! I always get a great workout even if I’m short on time. Recently I hurt my shoulder and Derrick has given me excellent stretches and exercises to help it heal and continue my strength training. Thanks Derrick!"
