What Our Students Say
Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.
Kenton Hale
"Can't recommend this place enough if you want to learn Brazilian Jiu-jitsu and MMA. My daughter has been in the kids class for over a year and loves it as Coach Swann does an incredible job with all of the kids. I myself have been doing it for a few months and can't get enough of it. Zack does a great job at breaking things down and teaching. The place just has a positive and fun environment for both adults and kids."
Daniel Leport
"Skilled instructors and great atmosphere makes training and learning BJJ fun and functional. Zack and Kevin are amazing black belts and they make you feel at home when you step in the door. Kids classes taught by Eric are entertaining as well as educational and keep the kids attention."
Daniel Robinette
"Amazing gym. I may be a bit biased as I train there but you won't find a better gym or a better coach, Zack Wilds. They offer kids classes and now, dedicated days for MMA training on Tuesdays and Thursdays. We're a small gym but this gym produces some tough hombres, we have the medals and wins in the cage to back it up."
PocketMarcy
"This is one of the most extreme demons in the top 10. although its soon to be pushed off the top 10 by Acheron, Ashley wave trials, and other extreme demons. Still can't believe Clutterfunk gives more stars than this."
