What Our Students Say
Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.
Steve Fife
"Top level instruction from passionate, progressive and dedicated professors. Great for people who want to stay in shape or compete at the highest level in the sport and anywhere in-between. A wonderful place for kids with full classes, full of positivity and growth with caring coaches who care about your kids success on and off the mats. Clean and sanitary environment. I can't find enough positive things to say about this gym and the people there. If you are there daily or haven't been on the mats in a decade or it's your first time ever; you will be greeted like a family member. Because that's what this gym is. A family."
Joel Hart
"This school is an amazing place to train. I’ve trained for over 13 years. I’ve trained at many different schools over the year. The base has been such a great experience. They are so professional, and absolutely a dream to work with. Signing up was super easy. Also, when some unforeseen events happened and I had to cancel my membership, that only took one text. It was so nice because I’ve had some really bad experiences canceling memberships with other schools in the past. I would highly recommend The Base to anyone and everyone that is interested in the grappling arts. 10 out of 10 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️"
Noél King
"Our child’s initial months of training have been exceptional. We’ve observed significant growth both mentally and physically. The coaches demonstrate a high level of professionalism, patience, and approachability in their interactions with the students."
Torin Murphin
"I signed one of my sons up for BJJ here a couple years ago because I wanted him to know how to defend himself. Well, with how nice the people here are, I ended up befriending the owner, Chris, multiple other coaches and parents, and joined myself last year. I also had my youngest son join us and now all 3 of us train on a regular basis. The boys are even doing wrestling classes here now, too. The Base has become a second home for us - each coach truly cares about each class and takes their time making sure new people know what we're training. And, I've met some of the best people locally that I can call friends. Don't hesitate to join if you've been thinking about it!"
