What Our Students Say
Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.
Anna Ash
"The following is a review from Isaac, a student: "They've helped me learn self defense, but they've made it fun by using different games. I think it has great coaches & I think Mr. Mike is tough because he wants me to do my best. He's still very nice though. I really enjoy it every week.""
Fernando Eugenio Pena
"Swamp Fox Jiu Jitsu has helped my kids grow in confidence, discipline, and self-respect over the past four years. The coaching is solid, supportive, and has made a lasting impact on them. Couldn’t ask for a better place."
Jordan Vereen
"Based on my personal experience, I can confidently say that the members of this gym are amiable and welcoming. They are always willing to lend a helping hand by showing you various moves, giving tips, and even practicing with you. The training environment Is highly focused, and everyone maintains a positive attitude throughout the session. I highly recommend signing up for jiu-jitsu classes at this gym."
Rosemariel Floyd-Vazquez
"The Professors, Coaches and students at Swampfox were all very welcoming, professional and kind! It was my first time traveling and dropping into a gym by myself so I was pretty nervous with learning new gym procedures and meeting/rolling with new people, but they made the visit so easy and seamless, not to mention fun. I will take all the lessons, advice, and tips with me!"
