What Our Students Say
Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.
Nick Evans
"We’ve been to many BJJ spots in MN and this one for my kids especially is AMAZING! Coach Brock is absolutely awesome with the kids and has such a talent for keeping order yet making sure he’s giving each person individual attention so they’re always learning and growing 10/10 would recommend for the coaching alone!"
nick Benson
"If you're interested in training in jiu jitsu, muay thai, or mma you'll definitely want to check out the Start gym. The people are friendly and the gym is clean. The lead instructor, Brock, has alot of experience with a black belt in jiu jitsu and many professional mma fights. There is something for all ages and all skill levels."
Mike Olson
"I’ve known Brock for years. Great guy. Was the Muay Thai instructor for a year and was treated like family. Miss the gym. Not only was it great training but extremely fair arrangement as an instructor. Highly recommend"
Trent Siats
"My youngest boy and I have had great experiences. Professor Brock and everyone are very friendly and eager to help us learn how to be dangerous."
