Zach Mozingo

"Had the opportunity to drop in for two classes while visiting the area, and I had a wonderful experience! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with warm smiles and a welcoming atmosphere that instantly made me feel at home. The gym itself is impressive. There’s lots of mat space, the design and aesthetic tasteful, and the facilities are literally brand new. What stood out the most was the sense of community. The owners and coaches were incredibly friendly, knowledgeable and very approachable. The members were equally welcoming, and every roll enjoyable. Even as a visitor, I felt the positive energy and camaraderie in this gym. If you're looking for a fantastic place to train, build skills, and connect with others, I highly recommend checking this gym out! 🤙"

Jeremy Brazoban

"As an experienced BJJ practitioner, I can confidently say The Jiu-Jitsu Exchange is one of the best academies I’ve trained at. The instructors are top-notch, blending technical expertise with a welcoming vibe that makes every class engaging and challenging. The facility is clean, spacious, and perfect for rolling, with a schedule that fits my busy life. What sets this place apart is the sense of community—whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned grappler, everyone supports each other’s growth. I’ve sharpened my skills and built lasting friendships here. If you’re in Raleigh or Durham which is relatively easier to commute to and want to train Jiu-Jitsu, check out The Jiu-Jitsu Exchange—book a free trial class and see for yourself!"

You’ll get some fantastic training and make some great new friends!"
