The atmosphere is welcoming, respectful, and motivating — it truly feels like a family. Whether you’re a complete beginner or looking to refine your technique at a high level, this is the place to be. Highly recommend to anyone serious about learning grappling in a positive, structured, and professional setting!
Posted 8 months agoHaven Grappling Academy in Mosaic is hands down one of the best training environments I’ve ever experienced. Whether you’re just starting out or you’re a seasoned grappler, this place feels like home from day one. Troy and Mike are phenomenal instructors—easily some of the best in the game. Their attention to detail, ability to break down complex techniques, and genuine care for each student set them apart. You’re not just another face on the mat here—they’re truly invested in your growth and progress. The environment is clean, welcoming, and full of motivated teammates who push you while keeping things respectful and positive. It’s the perfect balance of high-level instruction and community-driven energy. If you’re serious about leveling up your grappling and want to be surrounded by great people, Haven is the place to be. Can’t recommend it enough!
Posted 8 months agoInstantly knew after my trial class Haven is the real deal. First thing I noticed was it had plenty of parking and easily accessible. The gym is clean and modern and very spacious. The style of training is different than what I’m use to but it’s what I honestly prefer.Everyone is pretty welcoming from the front desk to the teammates. Another small detail I noticed that’s a plus was the water dispenser to fill your bottle up. Anyways great gym and coaching!
Posted 8 months agoHaven has been a gem of a community to find! The instruction is fantastic, with dedicated attention whenever you have a question or concern. The new facilities are lovely and clean, and they create a great atmosphere for class. But above all, the people and culture are incredible — the vibe is always relaxed and I made friends faster here than anywhere else I’ve been. I couldn’t recommend Haven more highly!
Posted 7 months agoI've only been training at Haven Grappling Academy for about two weeks, and as someone who's brand new to the sport, I couldn't have asked for a better introduction to jiu-jitsu. From day one, Troy, Mike, and the rest of the students made me feel completely welcome and included. Even though I’m still in the “spazzy white belt” phase and usually have no idea what I’m doing, everyone has been incredibly patient, encouraging, and helpful. There’s zero ego here—just a lot of people who genuinely want to help each other improve. I happened to join right as the gym transitioned to a brand new location (a few doors down in the same complex), and it’s awesome. The mats and equipment are all new, and the space has a super clean, fresh feel to it. One of the biggest highlights for me is the teaching style. Troy and Mike focus heavily on situational sparring and drilling, which helps you get meaningful reps in and immediately apply what you're learning. It’s a super effective way to build awareness and skill, even as a total beginner. If you’re thinking about starting jiu-jitsu or looking for a school where you’ll be supported from the start, I can’t recommend Haven highly enough.
