    Team Kalista’s BJJ has been a game changer and a life saver for me and my profession. My job is very physical and it requires me to be very confrontational. 99% of the time I am forced to put hands on people who often times don’t want to be placed in handcuffs. If you haven’t guessed it by now, I’m a police officer with the Hinesville Police Department, and more specifically a Star Corporal of the detectives division and team member of the Liberty County Swat Team. Team Kalista has given me a confidence beyond understanding. Professor Kalista took me under his wing and even taught me alternative ways to apprehend resistant suspects utilizing reasonable methods. Not only have his techniques prevented could be injuries to myself but also control techniques that are safer for the subjects as well. Professor Kalista makes training enjoyable and practical. Professor Kalista has an amazing group of loyal students. Vance Kalista, Daniel Rojas, and many others from the gym have also supplemented Professor Kalista’s teachings and refined my hands on capabilities. The team supports the youth and adults alike. It’s just a great training atmosphere when everyone accepts new comers from every background and embraces each other before and after class. This gym is the gem 💎 of Hinesville. Team Kalista has my six on and off the mats, and I am proud to be associated with Team Kalista. 5 ⭐️s plus many more if I could, 10/10 recommended.

    Joining Kalista’s BJJ was one of the best decisions I’ve made! Kaleum is not only an incredibly skilled black belt, but also an exceptional teacher. Vance and Adam, both exceptionally skilled coaches, break down complex techniques in a way that’s easy to grasp, whether you're a total beginner or more advanced. Do not allow FEAR to prevent you from achieving your goals. Come to a class, meet a great group of people, and begin your journey!

    Professor Kalista and Coach Vance are the definition of tough love. All three of my kiddos have trained at their gym and the discipline and love they received is priceless. The entire BJJ family at Team Kalista are welcoming and push each other to be the best version of themselves. I am grateful for Professor Kalista and what he has created in our small town. It is a place where I can rest assured my kiddos have strong and positive role models, who genuinely care about their well being and success, not only in BJJ, but in life.

    We had an excellent experience with Team Kalista! From the moment we arrived, the coaches were incredibly welcoming, patient, and attentive— not just to us as parents, but especially to our kids. They clearly know how to create a friendly, safe environment that puts children at ease, while maintaining a high level of professionalism.

    My son has been going here for a while and absolutely loves it and I can actually tell the difference in his skills as he progresses. His coach is very patient and dedicated with all of the kids and takes his time ensuring each kid has mastered the new skill before moving on. I specifically like that they hold lots of no gi classes as well for real world application. Highly Recommend!
