Walked in about a year ago and haven’t looked back. Great community, all the professors are awesome and you can tell they love bjj. A lot of classes during the week and even open mat time on Saturdays. Love it.
Posted 1 year agoA great gym. Quality instruction from people who truly want to help you get better at BJJ. The standup grappling instruction is a huge plus. Tuition is reasonable, and stripes/belts are earned via hard work. No egos and insults; just top-notch training. Recommended.
Posted 1 year agoGreat gym with a great atmosphere. Multiple opportunities for open mat time throughout the week. My son, daughter, and I train here. If you're new to grappling or looking at options for a new gym I'd recommend taking advantage of the free trial and stopping by.
All-around cool place, great atmosphere, helpful instructors, and plenty of space to practice. As opposed to the Gracie Jiu Jitsu place up the street, it doesn’t overcharge for monthly tuition and belt ranks and give them to you because you earn them. This place is the ideal martial arts school
An incredible environment that feels like home—warm, welcoming, and everyone is treated like family. The instructors are truly top-notch, providing exceptional guidance and support. If you're searching for a gym, your search ends here. Highly recommended!
No belt tests or fees, just rank up when you earn it. The color belts are good people with good spirit who lead by example, no bullies, no egos about rolling. There's four black belts who regularly attend and teach class so the knowledge base is excessively worth the tuition. Head instructor cares deeply about the integrity and efficacy of the art. It's a good place. Good people.
This gym is absolutely top-notch. Professor Brandon and the instructors bring great experience and knowledge to the mat. The members here are welcoming and are always pushing you to be your best. Highly recommend!
Great Gym….fantastic mat space, great instruction, and better people!!! 10/10
This is a honest review from a dude who just loves rolling here. I love coming here, Brandon the owner is a great stand up dude who treats everyone like family and doesn't beat around the bush. He offers a one week free trial, so if you are not sure if you want to roll you can come through for free and see what's up here. The people are great and this is not an ego gym where we try to hurt others. If you are a female and want to start there are classes for women only on wednesday nights and there are many women who come here to train. My favorite part is the hours. All week there are multiple classes and being in the military my schedule is all over the place. So having flexability in a schedule is very important for me. I can come everyday for two times a day if i like. I can get specialized training if i want to compete and there is a tournament coming up. It's great. Brandon also just expanded the gym this year in early february. So we have more space and more amenities which is fantastic. We also do kickboxing if that is something you would also like. Overall a 10/10, would recommend
My 8 year boy enjoys going to jujutsu here.
Went there during lunch today. Brandon is a great instructor and a consummate professional. He gave me such great pointers and his Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is legit high level! I look forward to going back and learning from him as well as training with his students again.
What a great place! Brandon is an awesome instructor and goes out of his way to work with each students abilities and strives to push them to be more self confident every day. My daughter has attended here for over a year and we have seen her grow in both her technical abilities, but more importantly, her self confidence. You are treated like family here and that atmosphere was prevalent from day one. I highly recommend coming here at any age group.
Amazing place to train and a great brotherhood. Lunch time classes, or night classes, either way it’s a great opportunity to learn and roll with some great people!
Can't recommend this place highly enough. My sons, 8 and 6 really enjoy training here. They are learning skills and values that will serve them well in life. The teachers are truly dedicated and are amazing with kids. The price is also very reasonable. Come and see for yourself. You will be glad you did.
