Johnny Billiard
"Jesse Scott here, I've finally found my community! This gym is my favorite martial arts gym I've ever been too. Professor and Owner Mr. Rick Glenn is an incredible coach. He's very very knowledgeable on grappling and MMA and he's a kind soul. Do yourself a favor and GO TO ZURA JIU-JITSU."
Ben Brown
"Hello! I’m Ben Brown, I travel for work and stopped in to train at Zura Jiu Jitsu today! I called and was welcomed in. Had some amazing training. Everyone was incredible. Had brand new no experience guys all the way up serious Jiu Jitsu practitioners and very successful MMA fighters training and learning together. It was one of the better Jiu Jitsu experiences I’ve had. Learned something new too! I’ll definitely be coming back and I’ll 100% go out of my way to train here again. Definitely check them out."
Carsten Carlsen
"Hands down the best place to train in the area. Rick's wealth of knowledge and experience in Jiu Jitsu and its practical application in Mixed Martial Arts at the highest level truly sets him apart. His ability to translate high level skills into high level coaching and instruction will lead anyone, from beginner to experienced grapplers, to a significant growth in their skills. With a convenient, clean, and inviting location, you can't choose better than Zura BJJ."
Robert Banuelos
"Was lucky enough to stop by while working in town. Solid and safe training environment with great warmup, instruction and sparring. Will be going again when I’m in the area."
