Coaches are very informative and patient with my kid. If you have a little one from three or older it's a great experience for them to start learning. It has made me want to start back up.Which is due to like I did when I was in high school. Lastly they are military friendly which is awesome.

My daughter and son attend here. They are doing well thanks to the coaches. My son can be “extra” at times and they are extremely patient and understanding. They show the kids how to be respectful and disciplined. Highly recommend for those who are interested in getting the kiddos into martial arts.

As a mother and daughter duo, this incredible place provides a small, yet loving community along with empathetic instructors. Everybody has so much respect for one another’s technique, journey and person, regardless of belt color. Anyone who has a desire for real, authentic connection and unforced non-competitive rolls would fit in here. Come join us!

This is an incredible place to train. I’ve learned so much in the short time that I’ve been here, and every time I show up, I learn something new. Everyone here is willing to teach you and that makes it incredibly beginner friendly. I highly recommend that you give the Collaborative a shot, they make you feel like family.

I never really thought I would be into jiu jitsu but ever since starting at the Collaborative it has been an amazing experience. I have been going for about 3 months now and do it 3 times a week and every single day I am getting taught something new. The environment is very welcoming and everyone you roll with is always willing to teach you something new. Kevin and Mona are amazing teachers that are willing to take the time and teach you different moves when you are struggling to learn them.

I was asked to attend a class with a friend. I had never even thought about trying a martial art let alone jiu-jitsu. Now 6 months later, all I can think about is BJJ. So that’s a fun new addiction. Anyways this place has an amazing friendly atmosphere and anyone is welcome to join! Kevin and Mona are dedicated to creating a safe and fun place to grow and learn such an awesome skillset and I am honored to train among such a great group of people!

My 6 yr old started at The collaborative and then I started right after. They all were so nice and treated us like family. As a beginner, I was very nervous but once I trained with them, I was hooked. They teach so well and I’m never afraid to ask questions. The atmosphere so welcoming and fun. We always have a blast and I am so thankful we found this place.

The collaborativeajj is such a Great school. Kevin, Mona and the instructors are very friendly and welcoming; they are great at teaching technique and showing it step by step so you understand. This school is a wonderful place for beginners to start training without feeling overwhelmed or the fear of getting hurt. I can't express enough how grateful I am to have found this incredible school. From day one, I've been welcomed into a supportive community I didn’t even knew existed. In just a few short months that I have been there I feel more confident in my skills and technique, especial being a first responder out on the streets Jiu-Jitsu has thought me to be confident in high-pressure situations and how to de-escalate situations. Not only has jujitsu been great for my physical health it has helped tremendously with mental wellness. Jiu-Jitsu is a beautiful outlet for achieving a mental break and clarity of thought that many strive to attain. I highly recommend collaborativeajj.

I was visiting from out of town and dropped in for their Sunday class. The members of the gym were very kind and eager to train. Class was great and the location was very well kept and clean. Definitely will visit again when in town.

Kevin, Mona and the team are very friendly and welcoming; they are great at teaching techniques and being patient with new students. This school is a wonderful place for beginners to train with others and to get a good sweat in. Every time I practice with The Collaborative, the other members make me feel like I am at home and help me learn new moves. If you are thinking about starting jiu jitsu or looking for a new hobby to pick up, do not hesitate to come and train with these guys. The pricing is very fair and the experience is high quality. 5/5.

I can't express enough how grateful I am to have found this incredible Jiu Jitsu gym. From day one, I've been welcomed into a supportive community that's not just about learning martial arts, but also about personal growth and camaraderie. The instructors here are nothing short of amazing. They bring a wealth of knowledge and experience to the mat, and their dedication to helping each student improve is truly inspiring. They break down complex techniques into manageable steps, ensuring that everyone, regardless of their skill level, can grasp and execute them effectively. What sets this gym apart is its emphasis on mutual respect and teamwork. The atmosphere is positive, inclusive, and non-intimidating, making it the perfect environment for both beginners and experienced practitioners. I've made incredible friendships here, and we all motivate each other to push our boundaries and strive for excellence. If you're considering starting your Jiu Jitsu journey or looking for a new gym to join, I wholeheartedly recommend this place. Prepare to be welcomed into a supportive family, learn from exceptional instructors, and embark on a transformative experience that'll positively impact your life both on and off the mats.

Been training here for about a year, and couldn't recommend it enough. The instructors really drill down on technique, always there to help out during drills. Love how they're open to questions—makes learning so much smoother. Plus, safety's a big deal here. We're all just trying to learn, have a good roll, and still make it to work the next day in one piece. See you on the mats!
