What Our Students Say
Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.
Alexander Brankovic
"Thiago was my professor for 2+ years. He is one of the best coaches I've had in my life. When I first joined I thought it would be intimidating. I can't speak higher of the people there that became good friends on and off the mats. Everyone will offer to help you and its a great community for any level and intensity whether you are brand new, a hobbyist, a competitor, or a traveling martial artist trying out different gyms. I look forward to training here again soon!"
Dj Bethel

David Blaser
"This place is awesome. Great environment. Professor Thiago is knowledgable and fun. Great place to learn Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu for adults and kids"
Richard Ruprecht
"One of the best BJJ schools in the country! I've trained in big gyms and small gyms across the US. Torse House is hands down my favorite. Not only is the Owner/Professor Thaigo knowledgeable, he's fun and he truly knows each student. He doesn't push anyone to compete, but this gym is still filled with high level competitors and world champions! The curriculum is well thought out and we make sure to get tons of quality reps without missing out on sparring time. I couldn't recommend this school highly enough."
