Our experience at Prodigy has been really positive. The staff was very welcoming to my daughters and I. The adult classes are full of diverse body types and skill sets. Each instructor has their own unique style of teaching but the lessons still applies to everyone. You also have the freedom to develop your own style of jiujitsu while receiving feedback from the instructors. Everyone is allowed to roll with anyone. However, you are allow to say no if you don’t want to roll. (It’s not a taboo to ask higher belts to roll here.) The kids classes have knowledgeable instructors and are hands on. The kids are always having fun learning while being safe. Some of them even stay after class in groups to play because of the friendships they have created. The gym is very clean and spacious. Overall, if you are looking for a gym that offers good camaraderie, sense of community, great juijitsu and will push you, Prodigy is the place to be.
Posted 1 year agoAfter years of promising to make it and get training started I finally made it in today. Great people, great environment and very knowledgeable people. I look forward to a lifetime of training. If you have any questions or want to try the gym out reach out the Justin. Very fair priced with a variety of classes for everyone including children.
Extremely friendly and welcoming environment with some of the best jiu-jitsu and muay thai instructors around.
I love seeing the kids learn so much technique in a fun way - it’s never the same class there’s always more!!
My son just started, everything has been great so for, I’ll leave another review after he’s been in a while and I know what I’m talking about.
I have been attending Prodigy for about 3 years now. I can honestly say that the community and the atmosphere could not be better. Instructors are knowledgeable and truly take an interest in the success of the students. You always feel like a valued member of the team at Prodigy.
I just showed up to see what it was all about and got right in for a free class. As a short female I wasn’t sure how I would be received, but everyone was extremely welcoming, friendly, and helpful. I very much enjoyed my experience and came back to sign up and continue with Jiu Jitsu and Prodigy Martial Arts. Highly recommend!
Awesome gym. Very clean and everyone is welcoming. Great staff and training partners. Perfect for beginners and experienced. Can’t say enough good things about Prodigy!
Prodigy provides top level instruction from seasoned professionals. The gym and all facilities are very clean. The atmosphere is friendly and it is a great place to train for beginners and advanced members.
Really cool place and friendly staff. This is the 6th different gym I’ve gone to and it seems to have a really good mix of helpful and skilled trainers and beginners. The most impressive facility I’ve been to
I received a recommendation from a friend to try this gym and I was not disappointed. Knowledgeable and friendly instructors, and a great community of people that help each other progress and improve their skills.
Love learning jiu jitsu at Prodigy! Everyone is always so welcoming and patient and excited to help you learn, no matter where you are at in your journey. The facility is always clean and bright. The 101 Class on Monday nights is very beneficial for those that are new; questions are always encouraged and answered and members of all belt levels are always willing to help. Such a welcoming community. Walking into the doors of Prodigy is one of my favorite parts of the week!
I have been training at Prodigy for over a year and a half, and I can confidently say that it is one of the best martial arts gyms I've ever experienced. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with a warm, friendly atmosphere that made me feel welcomed and part of the community.
I highly recommend trying this gym out! It does not matter what experience you have or physical shape you are currently in. The best time to start is now! Come check this gym out I guarantee you will not regret it!
I have been going to Prodigy for 2 years. I have tried multiple other Jiu-jitsu gyms but eventually ended up quitting without making any progress. At Prodigy, I've felt a real sense of belonging and mentorship. Everyone from the coaches to students are very welcoming and want you to succeed and grow. The instructors are top notch! The classes are easy to follow and they have a wide variety of black belts to help. The facility itself is beautiful and kept very clean. I couldn't have found a better gym and am happy that I've finally found somewhere where I've made real progress, friends, and continue to improve my skills. I highly recommend!
Prodigy Martial Arts provides valuable knowledge for those who want to learn Jiu Jitsu. The instructors are friendly and great at teaching techniques. I would highly recommend this gym to anyone wanting to learn a martial art.
Great customer service and very kind. Easy to get along with!
If you’re interested in Jujitsu Prodigy is the place. No matter where your skill level is, Prodigy has a class for you. I’ve been to several other different gyms and Prodigy is the the best one I’ve been to. There are no egos here. Everybody is here to train and work hard together. It is great because while I’m training nn the downstairs mat, my son gets to take the kids class upstairs. My son loves Jujitsu and the instructors. They also offered Muay Thai classes and have free weights that you can use before and after class. It is the one stop shop. Thank you to the owners. They are the friendliest guys there.
My daughter and I go to Prodigy! As a full time working parent, we needed a place that we both loved the atmosphere but also where I could workout while she does to save on time. It’s a well balanced place that provides great technique, good workouts, and wonderful people. We are very lucky to have such a great place to train at.
My 15-year old son and I just started at Prodigy yesterday. We took a Muay Thai class and it was awesome. The facility is clean, well lit, and properly outfitted. The staff is friendly and welcoming. I highly recommend Prodigy!
Visited from out of town. Really incredible facility with a great atmosphere and great people! 100% recommend
The staff at Prodigy immediately reached out after I requested to train here. I was nervous like most people trying things for the first time. However, when I arrived, I felt so welcomed by the staff and the people who attend. I look forward to continuing my journey in Ju Jitsu and Muy Thai and encourage others to check Prodigy out.
My first BJJ and Muy Thai gym . Haven’t felt more welcomed anywhere else . The instructors are the best and everyone treats each other well and with manners . 10/10
I have been at Prodigy for 6 months and really enjoy this journey. Jiu jitsu has made me physically stronger, and mentally calmer. The atmosphere at Prodigy is family like, and emphasizes learning and growth, with some humor thrown in.
i tried my first class and it seemed like a really good place to start training best place i’ve ever trained at and i’d recommend training here too if you wanna get good
Great clean modern gym! Excited to start training here.
Instructors are super patient and very patient with beginners. The gym is also very clean and welcoming!
Glad I came to Prodigy! Lots of drilling in class which I really appreciate. Very welcoming and open environment as well Edited a year in: due to my unpredictable schedule, I have dropped into some half dozen BJJ gyms in the Twin Cities. I can say with complete confidence that Prodigy is the best gym in the cities in every way. The facility is spacious and always clean, with bathrooms separate from locker rooms so you can change in privacy without holding up the bathroom. Black belts / Coaches are approachable, knowledgeable, and above all, good teachers. Their focus is on fundamentals of BJJ rather than trendy sport BJJ that’s obsessed with footlocks and NoGi fads, though there is still NoGi training as well as Gi. The team have also done an excellent job of cultivating a culture of respect and kindness for all that come and train. There are no mat bullies at Prodigy, and I’m proud to say that Prodigy is my home for Jiu Jitsu.
Very nice gym. I travel often for work and was in town for the week. A coworker told to check Prodigy Martial Arts out and I was glad I did. Very welcoming instructors and students at the gym.
This is by far my favorite jujutsu gym I’ve ever been to. The staff is friendly and welcoming, the gym is big and clean. I enjoy both the kick boxing and jujutsu classes that they offer. And overall a really fun experience.
Great place one of my favorite gyms to go to clean gym friendly people and staff, best coaches I have ever had super motivating. If your looking into learning jujutsu or kickboxing definitely worth giving this place a try truly a great experience you get here.
They are GOATs. Excellent facility that was very clean. Everyone is very friendly and super technical.
The staff were very friendly and helpful, I love how open and spacious the facility is, and being it was my first time here I didn’t feel pressured or nervous about trying anything and had a lot of fun, I’m really excited to get more consistent training in mma here at Prodigy. Would highly recommend anyone to come here. Very welcoming environment and people
If you’re looking to get started either for fitness reasons or just wanting to start something new and interesting Prodigy Martial Arts is a wonderful place to get going. From their welcoming and knowledgeable instructors/students to their clean and well kept facility I had an awesome first class experience. Everyone there was really encouraging and helpful despite my skill or confidence level. I’m glad I choose Prodigy to start my Jiu Jitsu journey! Really looking forward to the next class!
Highly recommend this academy, both of my sons trained here and absolutely loved it. It’s a very clean, organized and beautiful facility that’s family friendly. My sons had a lot of fun training here with their friends and relatives. In a short period of time we seen improvements in our kids grappling abilities. Great place where instructors unlock your child hidden defense potential that you never knew existed. Try a free class and you will be hooked!
Awesome academy! My son been training here for 7 months and I joined the adult classes 3 months ago. Very family friendly atmosphere with positive vibes. Very friendly instructors who focus on helping everyone learn and advance in their training. Helped me get out of my comfort zone and push myself harder then I thought I was capable of. This helped me get off my weight loss plateau on my current weight loss journey. Highly recommend this academy!
One of a kind training experience here!!! I’m a brown belt (145er) out of Texas and was visiting someone close, when she suggested we train! The advanced class, held in their upstairs area, was fantastic with unique scenarios set up. I rolled with everyone from blue belt all the way to all 3 black belts and had a truly fun experience that was amazing. Challenging rolls all around but still an awesome time!!! I stayed for the fundamentals class as well just to work the techniques and was met with clear instruction and concise answers for anything I mentioned. The atmosphere was extremely welcoming and I already am looking forward to visiting for another reason now. Every time I’m in the area now, this is my go to spot hands down. Thank you so much to the Professors who welcomed me with open arms and generous rolls! PS Also going back on Saturday and Sunday for more of this amazing place!!!
Very help and great class. Also a very clean and nice gym to train at
Great class! So friendly and clean! The instructor were so helpful with teaching me the skills.
Great instructors. Very welcoming members and staff. Great place to start for beginners.
Took a free class with Thao and Justin couldn’t have had a better experience the environment is great and I couldn’t have had better instruction! Thank you again for having me!
I trained with Austin Jordan out of Prodigy Martial Arts in Blaine. I started FP 3 months postpartum with the goals to not have a sore back and generally improved strength and movement to keep up with my child. After just 2 months, I had the tools to help maintain low back strength and posture that on long car rides was no longer painful. Austin is incredibly patient, has a way of making the technical movements make sense, is down to earth, and makes working out fun. He has been my biggest cheerleader and has pointed out changes in me that I hadn't seen yet. I highly recommend training with Austin with FP MN.
Great owners/instructors, the best most professional gym I've been apart of. Family and kid friendly, no egos just top level training.
The things I love most about Prodigy are their commitment and integrity. They have welcomed me into their community and seem interested in helping me grow and achieve more. The technical expertise, training comradery, and mutual respect are what keep me coming back to the Prodigy dojo. They WILL help you achieve your goals.
Gret facility for children and adults. My daughter is 4 years old and absolutely loves her class!
Excellent training and guidance, friendly crew and dedicated to keeping real!
Super welcoming, friendly instructors, and I enjoyed the class. The instructor was eager to help, I look forward to coming by again.
Instructor's are awesome very helpful and the people are the best very understanding and helpful :3
Brought My Elementary School Daughter In For Self Defense Classes And The First Session Was Pretty Damn Good For A First Session. I Felt Confident That My Daughter Would Learn And Succeed In This Environment So We Made Her A Member. I Would Recommend This Program To Anyone Needing To Learn Self Defense.
Had my first class and it was amazing. As soon as I walked in the door I felt very welcome, like I was amongst old friends. Great people and a great workout!
Best gym in the cities! Clean and safe environment for you and your family. Top notch instructors is a plus!!
Great gym and atmosphere. Highly recommend!
Fell in love with the sport day one! Humble, friendly, welcoming atmosphere. Instructors will walk you through step by step and the first class is free!
amazing class, very nice people gave us a 10/10 experience and came in with 7 of my friends and they gave us our own trainer for each lesson and taught us what’s going on
By far the best martial arts gym I've trained in and by far the cleanest. The staff are friendly and eager to teach you. The classes are super reasonably priced especially for the extensive class opportunities. I highly recommend to anyones who wants to train. Welcoming for beginners and advanced training opportunities. 10/10
I’ve been at and/or visited many gyms around the world - Prodigy is the gym I chose to be at because of the environment, the instructors and the people. If you’re looking for a clean facility, plenty of mat space, good schedule and great technique - this is it. Thao, Justin and Mike are good eggs that foster a welcoming atmosphere 🙌🏻🤍💙💜🤎🖤🤙🏻
Great place to work out at with a great community. The equipment and mats are clean enough to eat off of, just don't try it or Thao will get angry.
Great gym, supportive for beginners and good learning environment!
I’ve been coming to this gym for several years. It is seriously the cleanest gym I’ve ever visited. The instructors are great. Everyone is supportive of each other and I’ve made a lot of good friends here.
My son and I both train BJJ at Prodigy and the instructors have created a great environment for adults and kids.
Great instructors and a very positive atmosphere!!
There is nothing but awesome things to say about the community here at Prodigy! The coaches/professors are patient and knowledgeable. It is a very welcoming environment! After a year of training, it has helped me mentally and physically. This place is simple in some ways but different in many! Come check it out and let the good times roll! 🤙🏾
Very helpful and kind. They are will to accommodate to beginners! Try a free class it’s worth it.
Very welcoming and kind to new people!
Started working out at prodigy last week, owners are nice and friendly , felt welcomed . cannot wait to learn more .
Contacted Prodigy at 8am on NYE to see if they had an open mat scheduled…and they did! I received a prompt and welcoming text reply from professor Thao and he got everything situated for me to come in and roll. Very smooth process. Technical rolls in a relaxed environment...10/10 would definitely recommend if you’re looking for a school in the area or an open mat to drop into. Great people. Thank you all again for the hospitality!
I dropped in a few times over Christmas and was welcomed with open arms. Coaches and members were equal parts friendly and knowledgeable, and were happy to train with new folks regardless of skill level. If I could train here year round, I would do so in a heartbeat. Thanks for the rolls Prodigy!
I’ve dropped by Prodigy a few times while visiting the area and they’ve been nothing but hospitable to me. Great class structure and really solid rolls during open mat. Looking forward to the next time I can train with these guys! OSSSS 🤙🏼
my 6 yr old daughter and my husband really enjoy coming here! thank you so much for everything you provide for my family.
Prodigy is a one of the best/nicest gyms I’ve been too has a great staff and community 10/10
Very welcoming crew!!
I was new to Jiu Jitsu and they really have a great culture at Prodigy Martial Arts. It's a friendly atmosphere and you'll have the opportunity to learn from lotsa different instructors who have a variety of approaches. Highly recommend!
Great staff and facility!
Love this gym very welcoming people constantly getting positive reinforcement which made me want to keep on coming back
I just started training at Prodigy Martial Arts and everyone is very friendly and welcoming. The gym is very clean and instructors take the time to repeat things if you don’t get it the first time. There are also kids classes and families who work out together.
Very friendly and helpful staff, and the students are very accepting and helpful as well. At 47 years old I feel like a complete newbie but everybody has been patient and supportive. Would recommend the experience for everybody.
I joined Prodigy in Blaine, MN a month ago to start training jiu-jitsu.. and my experience has been A++.. I joined with 0 martial arts experience, nervous, and a bit hesitant.. The professors, staff, and training peers at Prodigy welcomed me in like family from day 1.. the facility is beyond well kept with a clean, updated, and welcoming vibe. The added weight lifting/training section of the academy is a huge bonus with brand new equipment. Do not hesitate to come join us and start training jiu-jitsu/muay thai!!! You won’t regret it
Our daughter decided she wanted to try Jiu-Jitsu, and prodigy was the first place to pop up near us. She's been twice, and while she's struggling & having a hard time~~every one here is TOP notch! She's only 11 and struggling with her body image so she's very nervous and feels like she's not like the other kids. The kids in the class are incredibly sweet & try to help & encourage her. The instructors are honestly just on a whole other level. They are phenomenal with the kids, literally pour their passion into them. Even with our daughter who just shuts down, they still try to get her engaged & engage her. They still explain what's going on & show her. They don't just throw their hands up & walk away saying she's a lost cause. They care. She still wants to go, so I know she'll break out of her shell and start actually doing the classes because of them. She showed me tonight what she learned even though she didn't actively participate in class, because they cared enough to still engage her. If you're on fence I say take the jump. Prodigy Martial Arts is phenomenal. They make you feel welcome no matter you're age & level. They take the time to explain things so you understand them. They show their passion in all they do. I don't know that I have ever taken my children anywhere that has people of this magnitude that show their love & passion in all that they do. Literally beginning to end. Thank you Prodigy Martial Arts for being the stellar people you are!!!
I've been training in bjj for 14 years and prodigy is one of the top schools I've visited. The students were very welcoming which is a reflection of the professors there and the teaching was clear and concise. The facilities were clean and there was plenty of space. If you're in Blaine mn or traveling through this is a great place to train and learn for both adults and families.
Really enjoy this academy. Great people. I’m really enjoying it here.
Love every class. No prior knowledge before coming, but learning fast and enjoying it. Great instructors. Good people alongside of you.
Great gym! Stopped in for open mat on a Sunday morning while I was in the area for the weekend, Thao welcomed me, gave me a quick orientation. Bunch of awesome people to train with, no ego, just good rolls. The gym itself was super clean and all the equipment looked nearly brand new. I would highly recommend anyone looking to learn jiu-jitsu check out Prodigy MA.
Friendly and welcoming staff and members, facility, mats and equipment is always clean and orderly.
The gym is super friendly and inviting. Team oriented atmosphere and super clean! Kids programs and adult programs of any level. It's the little things that matter, from the toiletries like mouth wash and hair ties to lockers, from the immediate interaction upon entering to the clear respectful atmosphere..what the coaches have built here is amazing.
I recently started going here, and it's a fantastic place to train. The community is very welcoming, and everyone works together to help each other understand and apply what we're learning.
Great experience that’s comes with great information by good trainers. The environment is awesome for all levels.
Great gym in the northern suburbs. Close location for us as a family. Very clean gym. Great instructors who focus on techniques and safety is a safe supportive environment. The owners Justin, Tao and David are great and welcoming. The sign up process is fast and easy. My 2 sons like going here. They like that Prodigy has a rotation of instructors to learn different styles. Would recommend to family and friends.
Awesome facility, helpful and knowledgeable instructors. I never knew there was a place like this so close to home. A great place to pickup martial arts of all levels!
I have been going to this gym for a month now and it’s the nicest, professional, and clean gym I have been too. I was really intimidated but less than 5 mins I felt like I belonged. Atmosphere is chill and inviting. I strongly recommend coming here especially if it’s your 1st time starting
Great environment for women looking to learn martial arts! We stopped in for a few days of training from out of town, and they were incredibly welcoming. I’ve been training BJJ for nearly 8 years, and it’s clear that Prodigy treats women with respect and have created an environment that supports all of their students! Great sparring and a high technical level.
It's legit. They have kids jiu-jitsu same time as adults and that is perfect for us. Love it. Great quality instruction in an AIR CONDITION building. 👌❤️ Safe for my kids and a great workout for all. Would recommend this place to all.
Such a great environment with great instructors. Super clean gym and a great workout and skill.
Prodigy Martial Arts will get you into the UFC within 6 months. Guaranteed.
Great staff, clean gym, and friendly atmosphere. Justin and the team do a great job welcoming people across different levels of their martial arts journey. My son and I are happy to be here, we highly recommend it!
Great and welcoming gym, we trained a drop in bjj class there and we really felt at home. A great family environment with knowledgeable instructors and very good sparring after the class. Highly recommended! Thank you!
I've been attending for a year now and have to say this is a great gym to train at. The staff and the members are all friendly and knowledgeable, the place is clean and safe and there's plenty of class times to choose from.
I recently had the privilege of visiting Prodigy Martial Arts in Blane, MN while visiting family in the area from NC and I cannot express enough how impressed i was by the welcoming environment and the quality of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ) training. In addition to the BJJ classes for adults and kids, Prodigy Martial Arts also offers Muay Thai classes. The academy is clean and spacious. Everyone supports and motivates one another, creating a positive and uplifting atmosphere. The instructor pays attention to students to ensures a safe training environment at all times. I could tell the safety of students is a top priority because Prof. Thao checked on and older student (who competes at IBJJF World masters) after every sparing rounds. I wholeheartedly recommend Prodigy Martial Arts to anyone seeking an exceptional BJJ experience.
Prodigy is a top notch place to learn BJJ. Being new to the sport I didn't know what to expect, but Thao, Justin and all the instructors are extremely nice and welcoming. I really like the kids can attend their class at the same time as adults have class. It makes it much easier (and quicker) to get everyone thru class. 5 stars all around!
I did my first class today and really loved it! The kick boxing coach was so welcoming and kind:) and the facility in general were very respectful and positive. Jujitsu was really fun too, and the people were so helpful . I will 100% be coming back!!!
Great gym with fun community oriented culture. The coaching staff accommodates all talent levels and abilities and places a heavy emphasis on mastery of technique. It is a good place to be if your looking to develop yourself mentally and physically. I can’t wait to get back in the gym to train!
This is a warning to all those looking to try out this gym I was looking for a gym closer to my house to use so I gave this gym a chance hearing about the first session being free. Immediately upon arrival it was apparent that there is an amazing community but the teacher gave me zero instruction on where to go or what to do. I felt the whole time i was expected to know where to go and what to do which I didn’t. After finishing my first class I was hounded to sign up. A little bit after I got injured and the process for canceling a membership is infuriating at best and has gotten me charged again when I havn’t attended in over a month even after I contacted the staff immediately after my injury. If you already know what you’re doing this place is great but I left my first time with bruises from more experienced members. I assume this place is amazing for those who can use it. But this place has left me frustrated many nights now
