I train at another gym nearby in Durham. I messaged the owner Sean Spangler to say I’d like to drop in last Friday. He and the students were welcoming and friendly - they didn’t try to rough me up, although the rounds were tough. I learned several good details, both from the instructional portion and later while sparring with more experienced partners. Sean ended up flow rolling with me for two rounds (some gym owners don’t or won’t roll with visitors). They also strive to keep the mats clean , which is a good sign for any gym. It was a good experience, and I hope to return in the future.
Posted 1 year agoOver the past year, I’ve discovered what I consider to be the ultimate return on investment: my three memberships at the Jiu-Jitsu Academy. These memberships have been nothing short of transformative for the health and well-being of both myself and my children. Seeing my kids eagerly participate in classes has been a joy to behold – they’re absolutely enamored with it. As for myself, I’ve found the classes to be an unparalleled cardio workout. The rates are incredibly reasonable, and the staff exudes professionalism at every turn. It’s an environment I genuinely love, and without hesitation, I would recommend it to anyone seeking a sport with minimal risk of injury and maximum health and skill benefits.
Posted 1 year agoMy only regret is not joining Jiu Jitsu Performance Academy sooner. As a 39 year old beginner I quickly became addicted to this sport and that is in large part due to this gym. Sean and every other instructor there are amazing teachers and they also set the tone for what is an awesome community and environment. Everyone there, instructors and students, has such a positive attitude. I have felt welcomed since day one. There are opportunities to train everyday of the week, morning or night, no matter your skill level. Jiu Jitsu Performance Academy really is a great place to train.
Posted 2 years agoCoach Sean is excellent! He helps all the kids learn and pushes them to be the best version they can be. My 6yo has been in this academy for 6 months and he loves it. Can’t wait for my 2yo to grow up to put her in 😂.
Posted 2 years agoI’ve been a student here for a little over a year. During that time I’ve witnessed that Sean is highly attentive to his customers ever changing needs, and operates his business with the upmost professionalism. When I come to class I know that I can expect to learn good BJJ, train in a clean and safe environment, and see smiling, friendly faces. 10/10 recommend.
