What Our Students Say
Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.
Kristin Huff
"This place was great before Chris started the kid's class. He kicked my kid out of class for a little giggle, (she was 6) and when I messaged him about it to discuss it, he just straight up kicked her out altogether. Because I dared speak up. He is an angry man, and he only wants kids who can become "champions" to keep his name in the game. He will not care about your child if they are not up to his standards. ."
Josh
"A great established BJJ school in the Toledo area. World class instruction and great people. A good place for a first timer wanting to give BJJ a try, or a serious competitor. Kids classes are great too! Amount of available class times is a bonus. Worth checking out!"
Sam Wright
"This BJJ school is the best. I have been taking my kids here for years now and it's like a 2nd family. They have fun and learn everything from the very basics to advanced submissions. Chris Blanke and the other coasches have the wisdom and ability to make champions while still making it enjoyable. One day I hope to find the time to train with them myself."
Jason Bodi
"I have trained with Chris Blanke for over ten years now. He has a deep level of understanding when it comes to BJJ and what it takes to become a Champion!"
