What Our Students Say
Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.
Derek Smoot
"The instructors (Joe,Jess,Chris and anyone I’m missing )are patient, down to earth people who understand that not everyone is on the same wave length. These guys/girls are incredible at what they do, and they make you feel comfortable while learning an amazing talent that could not only be used to protect yourself and your family! I highly recommend True Elevation BJJ to anyone wanting to learn….you’re never too old or too young with this academy. Also They have a great Kids BJJ class as well. So you and your family can learn and grow together!"
Chris Dardick
"My son and I have been attending bjj classes here for a couple of years now and we both couldn’t be happier. The coaches are outstanding and really great people who make it not only rigorous but also fun. They are extremely encouraging, knowledgable, and dedicated and do a great job of stressing safety - Ive seen very few injuries. The culture they’ve created is very inclusive so that people of all walks of life feel welcome. The students are all fantastic people and very friendly (there is very low turn over). It definitely has a more laid back feel than other schools I’ve attended but still has the seriousness to support even the most competitive athletes. I would recommend TE to anyone who wants to give bjj a try."

"Coaches are extremely knowledgeable and engaging. Everyone is welcoming whether it’s your first day or you’re seasoned on the mats. There is an obvious passion from everyone there to improve and see others improve from the coaches all the way down. Ever thought about training or are just in the area and want to get some good rolls in? This is the place to go!"
Andrew Garcia
"Great gym! Instructors are vetted and phenomenal. If you're looking for a solid place to learn BJJ from novice to experienced, this is the place. Everyone's looking to help each other out and improve themselves and others."
