  The ethics of at least one of the coaches here is questionable at best. A student of theirs has inappropriately executed their strength in my direction on more than one occasion when it was not warranted— as such, I called their facility just to inquire about WHAT they teach, and if they DO put any emphasis on the when/how to use what they’re learning here, so as not to unnecessarily harm others. The coach who answered (I didn’t catch a name) stated that they didn’t teach that, as it was “common sense”. When I explained why I was calling, he simply insisted I file legal charges on the student causing me issues. When I tried to explain why that was not optimal and why I’d rather intervene in smaller, more private ways before resorting to those extremes, he compared my situation to the situation with his ex wife (whom he claimed was harmful to him). He insisted I make myself homeless over the situation, and when I said I couldn’t due to having 5 cats, he misheard me and thought I said I had been with 5 partners who had been abusive and tried to question why I’d been with “so many people” who wanted to harm me. When I put a stop to what he was saying and stated that I was NOT calling for life advice, I was only calling to see what they were training on because I felt that it was ethically substantial to note that they are not putting any emphasis on safety and self control, he claimed that I called just to “lecture him” and “argue with him” and when I attempted to reiterate that that was NOT, in fact, the point of my call, he hung up on me. He DID follow up by touching base with the student in question, but the parts of that conversation that were reiterated to me still sounded tinged with a problematic attitude towards domestic violence and women in general. The whole interaction made me very uncomfortable, and I would certainly be concerned about him teaching young boys. I feel like a more well-rounded individual who sees more importance in a full-spectrum education (and not just the physical side of things) would be more appropriate for teaching children. Certainly the concern for their adult clients using the skills being taught to perform acts of DV is lower than I find ideal. They seem to teach the physical half of the skill well enough though, so if ethics are not a concern for you, this place is absolutely the place for you!

  my 7 year old son is learning jiu jitsu and loves it. The kids program is very good. Coach Tom is great with the kids.

  I've been coming to Spartan for a few years now, it's a great atmosphere. The instructors are all extremely knowledgeable and supportive whether teaching the whole group or giving one on one help. It's a great atmosphere and everybody is welcomed. I wouldn't want to train anywhere else.

  I've been taking BJJ classes at Spartan since the beginning of 2025, and I would definitely recommend it. Great coaching, and the other students are very supportive and helpful. Overall a great atmosphere even for someone coming in with zero experience.

  This has changed my life. I have been going to Spartan for three months now with no prior experience and am hooked. I have already lost tons of weight and it has made me mentally healthier as well as what I believe to be a better man in all other aspects of life. The coaching staff couldn’t be friendlier and more helpful. Can’t recommend Spartan enough.
