Eric Burke
"Family oriented and great for our young daughter, but also a very high level of skill and attention to detail in their coaching! We are very thankful to have found this gym. Well priced and a great atmosphere. Highly recommend for kids and adults!"
Glynnda B
"This group of people are more than just a gym. You’re family here. This place was so welcoming to my kid that was VERY nervous to start BJJ when we moved to here from out of state. All the coaches and owners are amazing with everyone they encounter! I can’t say enough praise or gratitude for how much these wonderful individuals have impacted my family and I! 10 out of 10 recommend!"
Rovi Ramnarain
"True Grit has been great for my 10 year old son. Nervous at first but certainly have seen his confidence improve and he’s practicing at home. The coaches are great and patient while teaching new skills to the kids. The kids are engaged and have a great time! Definitely recommend True Grit!"
Dave Berg
"My daughter has been training at True Grit for over 2 years. The way they teach and train the kids is top notch. I have been training myself since January of 2025 and love it as well. If you want a great atmosphere to train in martial arts, this is definitely the place to join."
