"Sweetwater BJJ is the place to be if you are in the area. I have been fortunate enough to have been coached by Joel who is not only a stud on the mats himself, but takes great pride in coaching and guiding all of his athletes towards success. If you are looking for top-tier instruction and a culture that pushes you to be your best, Sweetwater BJJ is the spot!"
