After a long break I looked forward to getting back into Jiu Jitsu and found this gym a little closer to home than my last… fell in love with it the first session, great people, great guy/coach/trainer/sensei whatever you wanna call Chris, there’s no egos, everyone’s willing to learn and those who are more experienced than others are also willing to teach whether it’s mid session or open mat… great fricken gym
Posted 1 year agoIf you are looking for high quality training in Muay Thai and Jiu Jitsu, Agoge is the place for you! The owner/head coach, Chris is extremely knowledgeable, technical, and patient which is exactly what I was looking for as a new student. The more advanced students are also very welcoming and willing to give helpful tips and advice whenever possible. You will definitely feel the sense of family camaraderie here! I look forward to continuing my training at Agoge Jiu Jitsu!
Posted 1 year agoFantastic gym with top-notch Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and Muay Thai training! The instructors are incredibly patient and welcoming to students of any experience level. After recently competing for the first time I cannot recommend Agoge BJJ enough. Whether you're a beginner or experienced, this gym has something for everyone. Highly recommend
Posted 1 year agoIf you’re looking for educated and compassionate instructors that can teach your whole family then this is the right place for you. My son started jiu-jitsu a month ago and has begun to find his self-confidence, which has been incredible to watch. He absolutely loves jiu jitsu nights. After watching his class and the adult Muay thai class afterwards, I decided to try it last night and absolutely loved it, despite being nervous and it kicking my butt! John and Chris are amazing instructors who really care and want you to be successful. We immediately felt part of the community and I love the growth I’m seeing in my son. Chris is super responsive to emails and truly enjoys what he does. If you thought about signing your kid or yourself up look no further than Agoge!
Posted 1 year agoSo I am not a member but when I called about the services they immediately responded. Very kind people.
I just started here at Agoge a few weeks ago, and im very impressed with what ive experienced! Chris is an awesome coach and everyone ive met is very helpful and down to earth. I cant wait to keep training here! If you are looking for a place to train Jiu Jitsu I highly recommend Agoge!
My husband and I started our son here almost 2 months ago and it’s been a really amazing experience so far! The owner Chris, and the coach John who teach our son are so amazing with the kids. They really know what they’re doing and really make sure each child is learning and no one is left out. Even the other parents and people that are there are extremely friendly and welcoming. Easy 5 star rating and we are happy to be apart of the community. Keep up the great work guys!
Friendly atmosphere and Chris is a great instructor. I have a lot of fun at Muay Thai classes
Chris (owner) is very knowledgeable and personable, focused on growing each individual from wherever they're at. Our teenage sons have already learned important skills after only a few weeks of sessions. Chris gives constant feedback and ensures the skills are understood.
Firstly, a great place for beginners to start their journey! I’ve been going for a few months now and not only is it some of the best physical fitness I’ve ever had, but also the knowledge learned from people there is incredible. If you’re looking to start your jujitsu / Muay Thai passion or just looking for a great work out with some even better people, this is the place.
My mental health was in the gutter, and I felt weak and pathetic. I quit trying to live. Since I started training here, I've lost weight, gained muscle, integrity, determination, focus and drive. Not to mention friends and great team mates. No judgement, no bullying, no intimidation. This is a real healthy environment, and a great art and sport.
Originally we were just planning on signing our son up for jui jitsu but after the first class where Chris explained each new skill and how it can be used in a self defense situation, it was a no brainer that we wanted to get our two daughters involved too, especially after one of our daughters had experienced some bullying last year. Chris and his family foster a very laid back and welcoming atmosphere. Everyone who has joined their community makes it feel like one big family.
Coming in as a total newbie I felt welcome and it feels like a team. The coach does a great job of breaking things down and making learning a lot of fun. Glad I joined!
I am so glad we found Agoge for my kids and myself. The owner Chris is very knowledgeable and makes it fun for the kids, while learning important skills. My daughter who is 5 has loves it and her confidence has gone up working with all different ages and sizes of kids. I decided to take both Muay Thai and Jiu Jitsu and as a beginner I felt so welcomed by Chris and the others at the gym. Such a great atmosphere for all levels.
My teenage son started training at Agoge recently and absolutely loves it! The owners are amazing and it is really building his confidence. Can’t say enough good things about it!!
My 15 year old has been attending for a few months and he is really happy here. We had a bad experience at the old dojo that closed here years ago. My son was completely turned off to all martial arts for a long time. After years of encouragement I was able to get him to try Agoge with Chis just once. That’s all it took literally, he has quickly become fully invested with this dojo. It is an extremely challenging sport and rough no doubt. My son is a gentle young man, but the environment is so positive and supportive that he has taken to it very easily. It’s been tough finding him an activity to be passionate about. Which makes watching him find it finally and thrive all around extra special.
Chris is an great instructor. His jiu jitsu and judo skills are on-point. He breaks down each technique in a fundamental way the everyone can understand and implement right away.
Chris is a great instructor. His gym has a very welcoming atmosphere for people of all skill levels. He goes above and beyond. He breaks down seemingly complex moves conceptually to ensure students have an understanding of “why” and “when” the move should be applied.
I wish google would allow more than 5 stars! As soon as you walk into AGOGE, you feel like family and a part of the team. Not only is the gym a top notch place to train, Chris is the real deal. His knowledge and dedication to all disciplines within the sport of MMA are second to none. As a Iraq/Afghanistan vet, the comradery of other vets training there also something very special. From a first timer wanting to learn something new, to the experienced fighter. AGOGE is THE place to train!!!!
Chris is an excellent instructor for students of any skill level. Great atmosphere, everyone is there to learn and to help others learn.
Coach Chris is a great instructor and really fosters a strong gym community among his students.
