Isaac Godfried
"I dropped in here while traveling through Wyoming on a long road trip. Jess (the head instructor) was extremely nice and welcoming. The BJJ was also very good. Highly recommend coming by if you are in the area."
Kyle Hessler
"Wow! What a wonderful gym. Jess and his students are not just talented but they are incredibly friendly. They didn't charge me a drop in rate, but had me donate to We Defy. What an awesome place to train! OSS!"
Pavel Ryabchuk
"I have travelled all the way from Belgium and my experience at Third Way Jiu Jitsu in Laramie was great. The warm welcome and inclusive atmosphere made me feel right at home. The head instructor Jess is a fantastic teacher. I left with few new tricks that I will try in my home gym :) A huge thanks to the whole team for a memorable time! Pavel (Pasha) R."
Ryan Bowen
"I was traveling out in Laramie and jess was kind enough to let me drop in. He was very communicative and supportive of me visiting his gym. The day I showed up ended up being a private seminar but he still allowed me to do a drop in. Excellent instructors, and a family oriented gym, I didn’t feel like an outsider. It was great being in a place where it felt everyone was very eggar to learn. When im back in southern WY, I will definitely be coming back to this gym!"
