What Our Students Say
Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.
Amy Blickensderfer
"Stan is the best. I've tried many gyms around the area and he breaks things down in a simple and easy to understand way. Phenomenal, plus learning lots of real-world self defense techniques."
Lisa Pruden
"The Professor (instructor) is the absolute best! His classes are structured, he is firm, but also fun. He explains complex moves in a way that’s easy for anyone to understand. It is clear that he cares about his students & is passionate about Jiu Jitsu. The classes are so worth while that we go across the cities 2x a week to attend. Highly recommended!!"
Eric Larson
"I've known Stan for at least 10 years now and he has been my BJJ instructor for several years as well. Brazilian Jiu Jitsu black belts are not common and that is for a good reason. It takes an amazing amount of work, dedication and accomplishment to get there. Stan has also proven his skills in competition many times and he has the medals to prove it. Stan is also one of Jeremy Anderson's black belts who is also a massively talented BB that is under Dave Camarillo and Klint Klaas. I've utilized what he teaches on a daily basis which has raised my grappling game immensely along with my fellow students. I look forward to every class I attend."
