What Our Students Say

Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.

James K

"Exceptional place to train! I dropped in for the week while on vacation and couldn’t have been happier. Matt’s depth of knowledge in BJJ is incredible—but more than that, he’s just a genuinely great human being. After my first class, my wife asked how it went, and all I could say was, “Matt unlocked me.” The environment is welcoming, the energy is all good vibes, and it’s clear this is a special place. I’ll absolutely be back whenever I’m in town, and I highly recommend anyone visiting or local to drop in. Thank you, Matt!"

Anthony Jimenez

"My son started this jiu-jitsu class feeling shy and nervous, but that didn’t last long. The coaches here are amazing patient, encouraging, and really know how to connect with the kids. Now, he looks forward to every class and has a great time while learning valuable skills. It’s been awesome watching his confidence grow. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking to get their kids into jiu-jitsu!"

Ryan Currie

"Highly recommend coming to train at this dojo! Had a few days in Tahoe this last week on vacation with my family and was looking for a place to get in some work. I attended the 6AM class 3 days in a row with Matt. I had a great experience getting to learn with him and the others in class. Even though I was a visiter from out of town, Matt gave me the time and attention like I was one of his own students. Loved his style of running class and I was able to bring home a few new techniques that I'll use going forward in my training. Overall I had great time coming to The Sweep Spot. Thank you Matt! I'll be back for sure the next time I'm in Tahoe!"

Daniel Pavel

"Our 5 daughter absolutely loves the Jiu Jitsu classes and goes several times a week. Matt and all of the instructors are so amazing and so good with the kids, they make it super fun while teaching them really good skills. Great hour of exercise and learning for the little ones."
