What Our Students Say

Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.

Dusty Mueckl

"Truly a place of community, safety, integrity and talent. You come in and not only learn so much but you meet true friends. It's fun , a great workout , the only negative is that I don't want to leave when I'm there"

Juan Godinez

"I've been training jiu-jitsu for 7 years and I have been visiting Wolves for a few months now for various community open mats and recently for a few Bjj and Judo classes. I highly recommend you try them out!! The instruction is extremely detailed and the class / drill time is daptable for all levels and also has the perfect amount of class time for sparring / positional training. The team members are so friendly, welcoming and fun to be around! I really appreciate how quickly they make you feel like part of the group : ) Facilities are immaculate, plenty of amenities and spacious locker room. I will be cross training at Wolves regularly! Couldn't recommend them more."

Chris Weinrebe

"I was in town for the day and wanted to find a place to train. I received a quick response when I reached out about dropping in. Class was great and everyone was very welcoming and skilled. Great gym with great people. Also, having showers is a huge plus. I’ll definitely be going back. Chris Brown Belt"

Alan Rowe

"Phenomenal instructors with years of experience friendly atmosphere great people with friendships that last a life time send to wolves 2 to 3 years and forget will be ready for ibjjf worlds and adcc future world champion"
