High-level jiu-jitsu and Muay Thai with a coach who actually teaches and gives a damn. Structured classes, strong team, no ego. You’ll improve fast if you put in the work. Highly recommend.
Trained here for a year during the part of my residency in Michigan, top notch training partners and instruction. Dan, Andy, and Jay are all extremely knowledgeable and innovative Jiu Jitsu instructors who care about the sport and the people they train with. There's Judo twice a week to help with some stand up and a wrestling oriented class as well which are extremely helpful for rounding out your overall game. There are also classes offered in the mornings, afternoons, and evenings to fit schedules as needed.
If you want to explore striking, the Muay Thai training is also phenomenal. Kru taught me a lot in the short time that I worked with him, and the more experienced students were super welcoming.
If you're training in the area or looking train, I would highly recommend checking this place out. The instruction is world class and the people are great.
Phenomenal gym. I’ve trained and competed at a lot of different gyms, and you won’t regret joining this one. Month-to-month membership, no contracts, no required uniform. They’re not trying to take advantage of you. The membership structure is very relaxed. The training is top-notch, with multiple black belts and coaches. If you want to get good, this is the place. But it also is very welcoming to newcomers and people of every skill level. Want to compete? This is the place. Want a supportive, friendly gym for a hobbyist? This is also the place. I give it my highest recommendation; you will not regret joining.
Was a ref at an event their staff was the most professional out of any team. They carried themselves well and it showed with their students being so friendly. There students were also very skilled when competing. I looked forward to getting their students to see what they would do next!
Hope to visit the gym in the near future!
Ladies, if you're looking for Women Only Muay Thai, this is the place! I've been coming here to train and the female instructors are fantastic! They're supportive and will help you get it! I feel safe learning in this environment, no judgement. In adult classes(co-op), they're also supportive and help you correct your form. Wonderful comraderies! Instructors have so much patience, so even if you're learning slowly (like me), don't worry! They will work with you.
If you're interested in Muay Thai, There's different Muay Thai classes: kids MT, women only MT, adult MT (co-op), Muay Thai Sparring 101.... see website for full schedule.
Does not get any better then this. The facility and the training are amazing, but they are still second to Justin & Dan’s hospitality. If you want people who truthfully care about you or your children, look no further then Common Wealth.
This jiu-jitsu gym is legit, perfect for folks still getting the hang of things. Super laid-back atmosphere, and they really got your back in learning the ropes. You will enjoy every practice you go to
The best gym around! High quality coaching and a positive environment that welcomes everyone. Also has a weight room, locker room, and multiple showers.
Great place to train Brazilian jiu jitsu. Instruction is world class.
Offers Muay Thai, Judo and MMA classes as well.
Includes a weight room and 4 bathrooms/showers!
Training at Commonwealth is one of the best decisions you can make for your BJJ/ Muay Thai game . Great staff of Coaches that want to see you improve . Competitive/ honest training partners . Awesome atmosphere to learn and prosper .
Awesome place to train. The gym has world class instructors and the atmosphere is very welcoming. Super clean gym, with 4 full showers, something that is hard to find in normal Jiu Jitsu gyms. Fully stocked weight room in the back as well. Highly recommend this place!
Absolutely amazing. I have been training for 8 years and as soon as I stared at Commonwealth I felt that I was fully using and learning my style of jiujitsu! This gym has helped me stay focused and passionate
Great place to train. Very clean and welcoming. Every person I’ve talked to here has had a positive attitude, they’ve all been more than willing to answer any questions and patient when you’re slow to pick up a technique. All around just fantastic
This gym offers very accessible classes that could fit nearly any work schedule. That, coupled with amazing and approachable coaches that will help to fulfill whatever your goals may be. Easily 5/5 stars, I really do love this place.
I've trained at a few other gyms in the area, this is the first gym that I've regularly attended training at. Into my second year training BJJ.
For me it was intimidating to enter a very physical, confrontational, and male dominated sport. This was outside of anything I had tried before. But do not let this deter you! The coaches and team are all wonderful, supportive, and patient people. I always feel so awesome after class, and you can’t beat the full body workout. You won’t know until you try so come on in!
This is not just another jiu jitsu gym, it's a family of martial artists. Always evolving and pushing you to be the best martial artist and person you can be. And you can't beat the schedule. Mornings, noons, and evening classes. Kids, adults, women's classes, AND Muay Thai! Why are you not here yet!
Come for the jiu jitsu, stay for the community. Commonwealth holds true to its name: it is an academy by the people, for the good of the people. A place like this, where mutual respect and safety is paramount, is only as good as its leadership, and the leadership here sets THE standard. Killer training, world class instruction, fantastic teammates. I hope to train here indefinitely, and I hope you choose to as well.
This place is awesome. I started Jiu Jitsu a little over a month ago and couldn’t ask for a better gym. From day one everyone was so welcoming and supportive. High quality training with high quality people!
I dropped by Cmmnwlth while traveling to Ann Arbor for work. I was welcomed with open arms and had a great time rolling! I'll definitely be back the next time I'm in the area
Great environment, excellent instructor’s whether your looking to learn self defense, get in great shape or become a world champion Commonwealth Jiu Jitsu can do it all!
My daughter (11y) just started doing jui jitsu here a couple weeks ago, she loves it and is constantly asking when her next class is. The instructors are patient and seem to really enjoy teaching. The class is affordable and everyone is friendly. I highly recommend you stop in for a class!
Simply the best Jiu Jitsu and Muay Thai gym in Michigan for all ages and experience levels. Whether you’re just starting or want to compete at the highest levels, you will find training partners and a community ready to be your second family.
