Tipping Point Brazilian Jiu Jitsu

"I came here to train and Professor John welcomed me the moment I walked through the door. He provides excellent instruction in both gi and no gi classes. The students are highly proficient grapplers and I had fun, competitive rolls. You should visit this gym if you are in the Cedar Rapids area. Highly recommended!"

"Extremely welcoming and awesome jiu jitsu atmosphere. I dropped in for the competition class. There were great opportunities to drill and then ample time to get in live rolling. Everything was done with intention. I felt super welcomed and safe rolling with everyone. Tipping Point is a great place train and I’ll definitely be dropping back in next time I am in town!"

"I was working out of town and looking for a way to burn up my nights. So I called the fellas at tipping point and they said they would be more than happy to have me stop in. Not only were they super polite, but they were also VERY helpful to an out of Towner white belt. Really taking the time to show me tips and tricks on what they were working on. I never felt overlooked. They treated me as one of their own. It was just nice to not only let me stop in for some rolling, but to actually be thorough and patient with me. I felt welcome, I think you will feel the same."
