What Our Students Say
Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.
Benjamin Aiken
"We’ve had our 7yo in their Heroes program for about 8 months and the difference we have seen in his confidence, discipline, and respect has been dramatic to say the least. The coaching team at The Academy is phenomenal and work so great with each and every one of the kids in the program. I can’t recommend The Academy enough to anyone who is looking for a positive program for their kids while also providing them with great physical activity each week!"

"AMAZING INSTRUCTORS!! My two sons started here about 2.5 years ago and they have gained a ton of confidence, made so many friends and are LOVING Jiu Jitsu. My younger son is doing competitions and learning so much. The staff is awesome. They really take the time to work with students of all ages and abilities. The other members are also great. The more advanced members that train with my sons give them extra tips and help them improve. This place is a family, a tribe. I have never been pushed to spend more than I want. They offer a ton of classes. Jiu Jitsu (Gi and No Gi), Judo, kick boxing, yoga, summer camps, and they even have Women’s and Senior classes. My sister and I took a self defense class and we had so much fun. This is the kind of place I feel safe leaving my kids with because I can see how much they care and how well they train their staff. My family trains here and I know these are wonderful people sharing their passion with our community. We love Monument Academy of Martial Arts! They are the best."

"My boys (10 &12) have been doing Jiu jitsu for the last four years. Having recently moved to Monument, we have been here for about 6 months and have been so impressed. Professor Tom and his team along with his wife are amazing! They have a gorgeous new facility and offer so many opportunities outside of classes for the kids.. We are excited for the upcoming summer camp!"

"We have nothing but AMAZING praise for Tom and Christa and the business they have built here in Monument. Our 7 year old son has been with them for a year and a half and because of the love he developed our youngest son started six months ago at 4 years old. We have a parenting motto of "start them young" and we can absolutely say we are so thankful to have them started in Jiu Jitsu as early as they have. They not only teach the children techniques, self-defense, and self-discipline but they are helping create empathetic and compassionate children. The family environment they have brought makes it all the more special and we know we can trust them with our sons. Every time we see an Academy sticker on a car, our boys get so excited! Give them a try for yourselves!"
