What Our Students Say
Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.
Noah Tucker
"Great gym. They teach high quality Jiu Jitsu in a way that is easy to understand and very nice people. It’s rare to find a gym like that. You won’t regret trying out a class."
Michael Heinz
"Such an outstanding martial arts facility. I doubt you could find more professional and systematic coaching anywhere else. I came through town some months back and they opened their doors to me so I could train. Coach Cane’s class was so well structured I was in awe. I had never seen someone use best practices for teaching in martial arts gym. Everyone was friendly to me and I didn’t feel like I had a target on my back as new guy. Don’t miss an opportunity to train here."
J Hamm
"What a great gym! I was just there for a seminar. Everyone is super friendly and knows their stuff. From what I see the founder is always pushing fundamentals of self denfense and is always seeking to improve, a true martial artist. He shares so much free online content you can get an idea of what your signing up for. If you live in Portland and are serious about training this is where you go."
Colby Davis
"Very receptive and welcoming group of people. The advanced BJJ class held varied positional sparring rounds and informative lessons provided by Coach Tim. I plan to return again on my next vacation."
