"Speakeasy Jiu-Jitsu offers an outstanding kids' jujitsu program! Coach Colton is phenomenal with the children—patient, engaging, and great at teaching techniques in a fun, safe way. The classes are well-organized, balancing discipline, skill-building, and games that keep the kids excited to learn. My children have gained confidence, focus, and coordination since starting. The environment is supportive, and the facility is clean and welcoming. Highly recommend this program for any parent looking to get their kids into martial arts!"
Kady Bowman
"Our son had prior experience in youth wrestling before he began his journey in jiu-jitsu. We aimed to expand his skills and introduce him to a new sport. Unsure about jiu-jitsu, we contacted Colton, who welcomed us warmly and eagerly invited our son for a trial session. After his first practice, it was clear that this was a remarkable opportunity; our son thoroughly enjoyed it, and we did as well. Jiu-jitsu is renowned for its focus on learning and personal growth, fostering a supportive community characterized by strength, trust, and compassion. Colton and his carefully selected coaches have successfully cultivated this environment at Speakeasy. Our son looks forward to his practices with great enthusiasm!"

"I am just starting out in JiuJitsu and have found Pseakeasy to be an excellent group of people and instructors. They have been accommodating and helpful for me with the basics that I need without making me feel as if I am dragging the rest of the class down. They are patient, kind, and knowledgeable as a group. Highly recommend :)"
