The Lab offers fantastically priced classes and individual training sessions 7 days a week. Anyone can join and anyone can become a dedicated member of the team. There's no reason to wait, call or drop in as soon as possible!"
Marilyn Burke
"The Lab hosted a women’s self defense class for 4 weeks. I was curious and open minded to see what it was about. It was such an interesting and enjoyable experience. Taught by instructors Kristen Oteri, international Jiu Jitsu champ Kathy Ferrego, Esther, and Sam, these ladies helped us learn techniques that could help in unpredictable situations. Practical common sense ideas with various techniques helped us all finish with a bit more confidence than when we started. This is a “ must do” for all ages— friends/mother daughter/solo. You’ll be glad you did"
Justin Young
"The Lab has been nothing but amazing for my family. My son started a year ago after being bullied on other sports teams and did not have the best self confidence because of it. He started his first class at the Lab and I could already tell it was a perfect fit. Everyone was amazing and welcoming, Professors and other families, and from day one we felt included. After a year of classes my son has grown to be fearless but humble and I can definitely say it is because of the lessons on and of the mat he receives from all the coaches and professors at the Lab. Recently myself and his older sister joined and we have had the same inclusive experience and look forward to every class and growing within the sport."
Thomas O'Connor
"I started my journey into BJJ at this gym, I was impressed with the nice welcoming environment and friendless of students and staff alike. Now a year later I am still a regular member and look forward to coming here for years to come. Great programs for adults and I always see happy kids leaving on my way in. Awesome school!"
