    I’ve been at Ryan’s for a little over 7 months now & I can honestly say it’s been life changing. As a woman I feel safe and welcome but also challenged. Additionally, Ryan & Logan (and all other coaches) truly care about their students. I recently misplaced a very important piece of jewelry and Ryan has gone out of his way to try and find it for me, just confirming my belief that his care extends past the mats. If you’re looking for a fun challenge and a way to meet new people, this is the way to do it!

    A Fantastic Start at Ryan Thomas Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu! I've only been training at Ryan Thomas Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu for two weeks, and I'm already hooked! As a complete beginner, walking into a new martial arts gym can be intimidating, but that couldn't be further from the truth here. From the very first class, the coaches were incredibly welcoming and patient, breaking down techniques and concepts in a way that was easy to understand. They're clearly passionate about Jiu-Jitsu and dedicated to helping everyone learn and improve. What truly sets Ryan Thomas Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu apart is the amazing community. Every student I've encountered has been incredibly inviting and helpful. They're always willing to offer tips, answer questions, and provide encouragement, creating a supportive and positive learning environment. I've been amazed at how quickly I'm starting to grasp the fundamentals, thanks to the guidance of both the coaches and my fellow students. Beyond the excellent instruction and camaraderie, the facility itself is impeccably clean. It's clear that the gym takes pride in maintaining a hygienic and well-organized space, which is essential for a close-contact sport like Jiu-Jitsu. Most importantly, I'm having an absolute blast! I look forward to every class and leave feeling energized and motivated. If you're looking for a welcoming, supportive, and clean environment to learn Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, look no further than Ryan Thomas Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. I highly recommend it!

    My son (6yo) joined and loved it. I joined myself shortly after. Ryan is great with kids and adults. Extremely helpful and easily reachable for questions. Everyone that trains there has been more than helpful and willing to teach. It is very addicting and great to help get into shape.

    My youngest at 5 just started jiu-jitsu here. She has been to class 3 times and absolutely loves it. After every class she has continually asked, "How many more sleeps until my next one?" I was a bit skeptical the first class due to the size. I looked at my husband and said, can't wait to see how this goes! Thinking it would be like wrangling wild cats. To our suprise Ryan organized all of the 4-8 year old perfectly. Each class has been something new and he keeps it fun for all ages. We would highly recommend!
