Sterling Sullivant
"Never too old! I started BJJ at 49 years old. I'm 54 and still going. Josh is an amazing coach and he and Makayla are truly great people. The triad atmosphere is family oriented and all are welcome."
Devin Skipper
"Incredible instructors Coaches Josh And Makayla really put there all into this place. Very positive atmosphere and is very family safe. You don't hear negative talk or cursing and that is such a refreshing change of pace."
