    I dropped in for a Saturday morning class and was greeted right away by Anna (co-owner). She gave me a quick rundown of the gym, got my waiver squared away, and I was off to class. During warmups I met Chris (co-owner), who was super friendly and encouraging. The class that day was a recap of the week’s techniques. We drilled a lot of solid material, and students were even asked to demonstrate what had been taught during the week. I thought that was really cool, teaching is one of the best ways to lock in what you’ve learned. After drilling we moved into sparring. Beforehand, Chris took the time to explain the gym’s do’s and don’ts, which I appreciated. It made me feel respected as a drop-in while also setting clear expectations (and yes, no heel hooks in the gi, thank goodness). I had some excellent rounds, including a roll with Chris himself. The vibe overall was friendly, welcoming, and structured in a way that made it easy to feel comfortable right away. I highly recommend Higher Ground to anyone interested, and I’ll definitely be back.

    Great gym in the twin cities. Great for kids and adults. Locating is easy to get to. Kids coaches (Josh)are the best! I have 2 son's, ages 9 and 11 that enjoy going here. Absolutely would recommend.

    We came in for a free class with our 4 year old son who is full of energy to say the least. Josh was extremely patient and met him where he was at and got him engaged. The gym was very clean and in great condition. We felt very welcomed and impressed. Very happy to have such a great spot in our town.

    Great jiu jitsu gym! Welcoming for newcomers but also great for more advanced jiu jitsu practitioners. Chris is extremely knowledgeable and also a great teacher. I have been training here for a couple years and continue to enjoy it very much! They have a flexible schedule - they have classes in the morning, at noon during the week, and in the evenings. I've trained at several different gyms over the years, but I continue to come back here.

    Dropped in for the Thanksgiving Day Open Mat, got in some high flow rolls and an opportunity to train and learn with others. I had a blast rolling, and reconnecting with former training partners as well! Very inviting and friendly people, hope to train at Higher Ground BJJ again soon! Thanks! 🤙🏽
