"If you were looking for a great training environment with and outstanding staff this is definitely the place you want to train at. I’ve been training here since 2013. it is like a second home where you will learn how to defend yourself and get a great workout in the process. The culture is extremely friendly and great for families. As it’s always said, the hardest part is walking through the front door. Mel and his staff will make sure that you never regret the decision to come in."
"Universal is an excellent gym & a great place to train. I can't say enough great things about the gym & the owners. I would recommend this gym to high level jiu-jitsu practitioners & beginners."
"My son has been going here for over a year and it’s one of the best things we’ve ever done for him. He is nine years old now and it has totally helped shape him into a confident independent kid. Mel is amazing with the kids, I’m always smiling and laughing at the games he plays with them. I will keep my son in as long as they stay open. If you were on the fence about putting your kid in jiu-jitsu, I would highly recommend at least trying it out. We had our son in at other places and they were really aggressive and didn’t spend a lot of on one time with my son, to where he didn’t want to go anymore. That’s not the case with universal jujutsu. They make every child feel seen and they are so good at realizing a child’s potential and helping them see it. 10 out of 10 go try it out."
"Great school to learn the gentle art. Knowledgeable and skilled instructors, friendly students, lots of high belts, safe area, and they cover all aspects of modern jiu-jitsu without forgetting old school principles such as self defense. Whether you are beginner or advanced, young or older, in shape or not, you will find other students matching your level to roll with in a safe and friendly environment."
