Nick Walton
"The Inner Sanctum BJJ Club is very family oriented with an amazing focus on legit jiu jitsu from basic fundamentals to advanced techniques. We were truly fortunate to have found this place so close to where we live. Coach Steve does an amazing job with my sons and also helps my wife and I along this jiu jitsu path with achieving our personal goals. Highly recommend checking them out!"
Justin Barnett
"Real old school BJJ! Great technique is taught here. Coach Steve is good working with kids if you’re looking somewhere for the little ones to train."
Andres Cordero Jr
"I was nervous that my 2 youngest children would not enjoy and not want to partake. All my concerns were removed after first day. My kids set alarms to ensure they are on time and always eager to get to class. Huge shout out to Stephen Phelps for providing an exciting and educational environment to help our kids grow and learn deeper respect. Highly recommend you come and see for yourself! 5 stars isn't enough. Now I joined the team as well."
Renee Walton
"We absolutely love The Inner Sanctum BJJ club. Myself, my husband and our 2 younger sons (4 & 10) have joined and love it. Mr Stephen is very informative and very patient making the experience an enjoyable one. The club is very structured & classes are well planned out, but not to the point where it becomes intimidating or overwhelming. I would highly recommend checking them out!"
