JoAnna Green
"Great owners and operators! Absolutely wonderful and supportive people and the atmosphere is top-notch. My children adore “Master Jadyson” and Miss Paola! Cannot leave out Stephen and Amanda Stratton or Ray. Excellent children’s classes from little kids and up. There are also competition classes offered as well and my little girl competes frequently and has done very well in competitions. You will be happy you came here to learn Brazilian Jiu Jitsu!"
Jacob Gutowski
"Can't say enough great things about this place, I've trained at multiple different gyms, and this is hands down the best. The coaches are amazing and there's a really positive culture where everyone wants you to learn and improve. Highly recommend!!"
Kaitlin Ahonen
"I have been taking my young children here for about 2 months now, and not only do my kids love it, but so do I! The people here are extremely friendly and welcoming and Coach Costa is AMAZING with kids! In the short time my kids have been going to classes they have learned not only jiu jitsu skills but to listen, follow directions, and most of all respect. I would recommend Unity to anyone, it's a great place to have your whole family involved in!!!"

"I’ve been training at Unity for 3 years, The people are welcoming and amazing. Higher belts are always willing to help beginners, and there’s a strong sense of community. It is well-balanced between technique drilling, live sparring, and conditioning. I’ve seen significant improvement in both my skills and fitness since joining. The little kids and big kids class is amazing because everyone has fun you make good friends."
