Been training with Mike and the lads for over a year now. A fantastic gym, great environment and feels like home when you walk in. The schedule works for all walks of life. From morning classes, noon and evening. Challenging, high octane sessions built to develop any level.

Mike is the man. I really enjoyed my time here learning from great instructors. I liked the way we were taught in that we learn basics and foundations to certain moves then build up on it with more iterations changing rolling partners throughout the process. The mats were always clean. I particularly enjoyed the Gi sessions. Highly recommend.

I trained here while I was in town for the past few months and loved the environment and coaching I received. The class sizes aren’t too large, which enables everyone to receive pointers and individual attention. As a former wrestler, it felt like I was starting a little from scratch but everyone was very welcoming and I learned so much in the short time I was there. It was so much fun and I definitely want to pop back in when I am back in town!

My first class was awesome! Everyone was really welcoming and friendly. A few other students were kind enough to let me roll with them and showed me some pointers. The instructor equally spread himself out for each student, while still being accommodating to my skills being much more rudimentary. Overall, incredible experience and left me wanting to attend more classes for sure. Mike was also kind enough to reach out and personally ask me my thoughts on the class which isn’t something I’ve experienced anywhere else. Top tier facility. They were also kind enough to provide me a rash guard for class free of charge.

Coming here has really motivated me to get in better shape and Mike has done a great job of building a respectful community of coaches and safe training partners which makes it all the more motivating and easy to stick to! I highly recommend anyone looking to try jiu jitsu or just something new to come check it out!

Stay Strong is an amazing place to learn jiu jitsu! I recommend it to anyone who wants to try out the sport. The coaches are extremely friendly and knowledgeable. The mats are always clean and everyone seems to know how to balance respect and fun when classes are in session. As a smaller 5ft girl, sometimes training BJJ can be challenging when your partners are usually twice your size, but I’ve never had an issue when rolling with the guys in the class here. I trained at a previous place and always ended leaving with an injury from class and I’ve never gotten hurt here or felt unsafe or uncomfortable when training. All the guys are super careful and safe (but will definitely challenge you!). I gotta say Mike (the owner) has been a pleasure to communicate and roll with. Very nice guy who’s super understanding. I have to pause my membership here due to conflicts with work and timing of class but Stay Strong is on my #1 list of places to come back to train once I am able to! Thank you everyone! Hope to see you again soon!

As an older beginner, safety and a beginner-friendly environment are of paramount importance to me. I certainly found that at Stay Strong BJJ! The group class was welcoming, the owner and head instructor Mike made sure everyone was paired up appropriately. All of my training partners were calm and controlled and the upper level belts let me work with them while providing an appropriate amount of challenge and resistance such that I was able to come back and train again the next day. I took a private lesson with Mike that was outstanding! He breaks down techniques and concepts and communicates them in a manner that I can, as a white belt, understand. He rolled with me to go over fundamentals and not only did I learn so much, I had fun! I am so thankful to be able to start training BJJ at Stay Strong BJJ and I give it my highest recommendation!
