Had 3 kids attend Pirate BJJ’s Spring Break camp! They loved it! This was their first exposure to BJJ and they keep talking about it! The other camp activities were great and physical exercise had them eating and sleeping well at home! Looking forward to Summer Camp at Pirate BJJ!

Pirate BJJ offers a welcoming and inclusive environment for both kids and adults, with a focus on personalized coaching and a strong sense of community. Our grandson looks forward to each class. The gym's approach to training is less traditional and more relaxed, catering to individuals who prefer a more informal atmosphere. Classes emphasize practical techniques and concepts, often taught through games and interactive activities. Overall, Pirate Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is a great option for those looking for a supportive and engaging BJJ community.

My family trains with Seth at Pirate BJJ. He strives for an environment that allows you to develop in Jiu Jitsu at your pace. He offers one on one training and constantly looks for feedback from adult and kids classes, good and bad. He is firm and fair with the kids and parents. The adult class offers a range of skill levels, from fundamentals to seasoned grapplers. I highly recommend anyone interested in BJJ to come spend a week with Seth.

My daughter just started here a couple weeks ago and she absolutely loves it! She was very apprehensive the first class but coach Seth made sure to make her feel welcome and showed her the ropes. I love that they play games with the kids for the last 10min so they can bond and have fun while doing conditioning. If you are on the fence come and try the free one week trial.

Every part of my experience at Pirate BJJ and with Coach Seth was positive. I found out I was traveling to the area for work and started looking at gyms to train at. I reached out and got a response right away. When I showed up Seth was super welcoming. I trained for the week and learned some stuff I’d never seen before. Seth is a very knowledgeable instructor, cares about his students, and is a challenging roll. There was a good mix of belts and skill levels, and the entire atmosphere was very positive and a lot of fun. If you’re just visiting or live in the area, I highly recommend giving Pirate BJJ a shot, you won’t be disappointed.

Best BJJ Gym for college students due to location and pricing. Besides the formalities, Seth is hands down the best instructor I have ever had and he is great to learn under, he actually cares about you learning and has a distinct path/vision in mind for your progress. Highly Recommend.

Seth has been instructing my 5 boys for a couple years now and we are so grateful! He’s great with kids of all ages and skill level. He makes BJJ fun and interesting for all types of kids. A couple of my boys aren’t as interested in sports, and yet they love coming to BJJ.

Coach Seth is an awesome BJJ instructor! I’ve been training with him for a while now, and he’s really good at what he does. Seth teaches BJJ in a way that’s easy to understand. He breaks down complicated moves into simple steps, so anyone can learn. Whether you’re a beginner or experienced, he helps you get better. What’s cool about Coach Seth is he cares about his students. He’s patient and friendly, always ready to help you improve. Plus, the gym is like a friendly place where everyone gets along. It feels like a second home. I totally recommend Coach Seth. If you want a great BJJ teacher who makes learning fun and helps you get better, he’s the one. Thanks, Coach Seth, for being awesome!

Both my 8 and 9 year old boys attend Pirate BJJ. I’m no expert on BJJ, but I know a good teacher when I see one. You can tell coach Seth really loves sharing his knowledge. He has a no nonsense teaching approach that the kids really respond to. Really happy taking the boys here.

I love this place! Tons of room, both kid and adult classes. I attend the afternoon No Gi class regularly, and open mat. I love the class times for my work schedule. Seth is a fantastic Jiu Jitsu teacher. He cuts to the core of teaching critical concepts and enforcing them with various "game" play and techniques. Everything he teaches is useful for your entire BJJ journey, no fluff or filler.

Love your new gym- looks super! Not sure at my age I’ll be “rolling” anytime soon, but everything looks great- mats look really nice! I know you are passionate about BJJ and am sure you’ll have tons of folks that really want to learn all about BJJ, and are as excited about it as you are.
