Neal Pierce
"I was lucky enough to get to drop in here this evening. I’m a purple belt traveling for work in Pensacola. The instructors and technique taught tonight were top notch. Everyone in class was very welcoming, and I’m really grateful they allowed me to drop in. If I lived in this area this place would be my home gym for sure. I can’t wait to come back next time I’m in town! Osss!"
Jordan Mercado
"My boys have been going here for about a year now. They absolutely love it and have a great time. Even the days my 5 year isn't feeling it, the professors work with him and are so patient. 10 out of 10 recommend."
Raj Arya
"I was in town for a week and came in to get some training in. I have trained in many gyms and by far The Academy of Pensacola is one of the best facilities I have had the pleasure of training in. I highly recommend anyone who is looking for a place to train Bjj or Muay Thai to check this place out. Thank you again Coach John!"
Randy Horrillo
"I've been taking my son here for about two months now, I absolutely love it. The jujitsu and judo classes are great for the kids. The older kids always help the younger and newer kids. The professors are great. The majority of parents are also very friendly. Clean, professional, fun and friendly environment. 10/10 would recommend."
