I promise there is a HUGE reason why this place is 5 stars, I’ve been going since February 19th and from that first trial class I have yet to meet a person that I didn’t want to train with or a Coach that I didn’t want to coach me. If it’s Coach Sam, Cody, Donny, Kevin, Matt or Bruce they all welcome with open arms and are Unbelievably patient, If you are someone like me who takes multiple tries to get something right Don’t worry cause they all with pull you aside and help you get it. If you have time Monday through Thursday(Or on fridays for a striking class) and are interested in grappling go to TSE 5:30-6:30 I promise you won’t regret it.
2 of my kids and I have been training here for almost a year now. We love it. All of the coaches are extremely knowledgeable. The atmosphere is very family friendly. Their leadership doesn't just help us on the mats, but gives us inspiration to be the best we can be off the mats as well.
My daughter she is 5, loves going to Jiu-Jitsu at Shogun West. The coaches are so patient especially with my daughter being so young. I also love the flexibility of being able to come any of the days during the week or multiple days during the week. I would highly recommend this school to any parent looking for martial arts experience.
My son (4) has been participating in Kids Jits for the last few weeks and I can’t say enough good things. From the cleanliness of the gym, to the skills he’s learning, to how engaging the coaches are. The place is top notch and would recommend to anyone at any age or skill level.
So thankful for this gym. It is a place that all four of my kids can train on the same schedule so it is actually bringing our family closer together instead of pulling us in 4 different directions for sports.
I started training at Shogun West after a long layoff. They were incredibly welcoming and I can't say enough good things about Coach Cody, Don, Henry, and Kevin. They are all highly skilled and talented coaches and grapplers. The atmosphere is all about getting better at BJJ whether your goals are self defense, fitness, or competition. I highly recommend it here, it is the best location on the west side. The new location in TSE is top of the line as well.
This is a fantastic place to train! When my current jiu-jitsu gym was between spaces Shogun West allowed us to train there, very gracious of them to do that! I found the classes to be excellent and I really liked the way they were structured with a lesson, followed by drilling, and then some rolling. The other members were really nice and humble, definitely no egos! All my interactions with the owners and members were positive. If I didn't already have a gym I would definitely be a member. My only regret is I should've had my kiddos try some kids classes as I'm sure those would've been good as well. Thank you Shogun West!

Great atmosphere and great people. The coaches are supportive as well as extremely great people; I cannot thank coach Donny and Cody enough for the impact they have had on me in this short period of time I’ve been training on and off the mat's.
Extremely welcoming atmosphere with patient, knowledgeable instructors and friendly members that make it a family-like atmosphere. I regret not coming here sooner!
SW has exceeded any and all expectations I had, especially as a woman completely new to martial arts and nervous to begin training in a predominantly male environment. The instructors have gone above and beyond during EVERY class to encourage and support me as I worked at my own comfort level which has undoubtedly brought me further in the last 14 months than I ever thought possible. SW has helped my sons and I feel more and more capable with protecting ourselves & think under pressure. Nervous & unsure at first, the best thing we ever did was show up.
I have been training with the owners Don and Cody for over a decade. They are two of the most honorable men I have ever met. They are professional, kind, patient and talented. They embody everything that a martial artist should be. I have learned so much from them and now am thankful that they will be teaching my 3 children as well. Training here will be the best decision you have ever made. Don’t wait, sign up now!
This is such a great place to learn Jiu Jitsu. The instructors are amazing and create such a positive and welcoming environment. My son loves coming here!
Great place to learn for fun, compete or be able to protect yourself and family. The environment is about learning and having fun and everyone has the goal to just get better.
The kids class is great for kids confidence and teaches them basic protections as they navigate their younger years.
My kids and I have been attending for almost a year. The instructors are knowledgeable and they create a great environment for both the adult and children’s classes.
My kids have been coming for almost a year now and they LOVE it! They have learned so much and have gained so much confidence. The instructors are incredible!
