Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.
James Artel
"I’m training there this week while on vacation (from Maryland) and have found the people exceptionally friendly and the environment very welcoming. Really enjoying the time spent on the mat with this crew. Background: am a brown belt/instructor at the time of writing this. Also, they play good music."
Steve McMahon
"Love the crew here! Brannon is a great instructor and classes are always fun. Spacious, super clean facility and the available towels and ample showers are a really nice addition. As a member you also get access to the Terra Guerra affiliation which gives a ton of additional training opportunities with open mats, competition training, and seminars."
David Jesson
"A very clean and well furnished gym. Classes are taught by experienced competitive black belts that have trained all over the US and world. Each instructor is well versed in multiple styles of self defense and doesn’t mine taking the time to break down the instructions for beginners. An exceptional martial arts school for competition, self defense, weight loss or just plain fun. A great place to teach one’s kid self control, discipline, confidence, defense, and restraint . I Highly recommend this school for any individual no matter the age."
Krista Haffa
"Brannon and Ashley are excellent instructors. My son enjoys the lessons and has really improved in his behavior since beginning. He looks forward to attending every time he hears "jiu jitsu.""
