Visiting from out of town and some friends of ours recommended I stop in at Barncat. Couldn’t have been happier with my experience. From the second I walked in I felt more than welcome. Coaches Paul and Connor were extremely welcoming, courteous and displayed their immense knowledge of grappling during class. Highly recommend this awesom gym!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This was my first time training outside of my home gym. Barncat Jiu Jitsu exceeded my expectations! The facility was spacious and very clean, and their instructor Mikey was both knowledgeable and friendly. Everyone there made me feel welcome right away, which really put me at ease. I’d highly recommend Barncat Jiu Jitsu to anyone curious about trying jiu jitsu or looking for a great place to train.

Barncat Jiu Jitsu is an excellent gym that is focused on being clean, safe, and welcoming to every practitioner no matter the experience level. The owners/instructors are very meticulous about every little improvement they can make in order to foster the best training environment they can. All of the instructors have a wealth of knowledge and experience. Whether it's day one or you've been training for decades I think anyone can learn a lot here. They genuinely care about each student's progression as a martial artist, and even go beyond that to show they care about everyone's general well being. This in my opinion is what martial arts are all about, the continuous improvement of each others lives. If you're visiting from out of town or just want to see what jiu jitsu is all about I highly you recommend you drop in on a class. If you're looking for a permanent gym they have a very economical price point and a good schedule that is pretty spread out between gi and no-gi.

If you've ever thought about learning Jiu-Jitsu this is the place. The instructors are incredibly knowledgeable (currently all hold black belts), and consistently convey profound truths about Jiu-Jitsu that make learning dynamic, insightful, and fun. Barncat is safe, welcoming, and reasonably priced for students of all experience levels and backgrounds. Whether you like to train gi or nogi, come down to Barncat where the vibe is unmatched.

This is an awesome place to train! Initially, I was terrified of doing jiu jitsu. However, that feeling quickly faded away. All of the instructors at Barncat embrace beginners and understand that everyone’s journey is different. This gym makes you feel like you are part of a family. I highly recommend it!

If, you haven’t been here already then you should definitely make it a point to stop by. Barncat is full of fun, friendly, knowledgeable instructors. Conor, Paul, Seta, Mikey will take the time to build you from the ground up with the utmost professionalism you’ll find from any gym. My family has been training Muay Thai for 5+ years and decided to take a leap into the world of JiuJitsu. We are so happy to be learning/training at Barncat. No matter your skill level they take the time to build you up. Everyone we have encountered who trains there has been kind, friendly, and willing to teach you all the idiosyncrasies of the sport. Got kids, come on in and start them out in the kids and/or youth program. Are you a lady who’s looking for a great place to get grounded in self defense without having to practice with only men. Join my wife and Coach Seta for women’s class, she’ll give you all the knowledge you need to be confident in yourself and to kick butt doing it. We are so fortunate to be a part of this amazing community and Barncat family! First class is free, guaranteed you’re hooked!

As a 30 some year old female who had no idea what jiu jitsu was but wanted to learn, I am so glad I chose Barncat for my journey! The coaches are incredible and they offer womens only classes and beginner classes for those of us just starting out. I feel so included and supported every time I walk into the gym. Highly recommend for any level of experience.

I’m loving Barncat… Conor/Paul/MikeyMo are seriously wonderful humans and their Jiu-jitsu speaks for itself. I show up for their Nogi classes daily and one thing I value most is their respect for students & the honest feedback that can help anyone evolve their game.
