Eric is a great instructor! My 6 year old absolutely loved his first day of jiu jitsu! Eric made it simple and fun for him. We signed up for the month as soon as his first free session was over. That was a great offer so that our son can try it out without any commitment! Thank you eric!

Coach Eric is very professional and explains everything very thoroughly to my children. He’s is not intimidating and the class respects him. They have been enjoying his sessions so far. This is their first introduction to a sport like this and they have taken a lot of interest in it. In the 2 weeks we have joined, my kids have learned to how protect their bodies when there’s contact and how to take down your opponent.

This class is amazing. My kids love the games and are always excited to go. The Instructor is spot on. It's been incredible to watch my children build the skill and confidence it takes to be a winner.
I've been training with coach Eric over here for about 4 months and he's been super dedicated to making sure I get better. On days I slack off, he's still getting paid from my membership, yet he'll still reach out to me to make sure I make myself better everyday. He is a very knowledgeable coach and is very good at teaching. The overall place is huge and plenty of room for rolling. The facility is great and the front desk is super friendly. Highly recommend it for anyone who wants to get into Jiu-Jitsu.

Five stars aren't enough to express how impressed I am with Formula Jiu Jitsu! The entire staff is phenomenal, and really created a welcoming and engaging environment. My boys absolutely love it here! Unlike other studios we've tried, they've really connected with the instructors and are learning so much. The progress they've made is remarkable. I highly recommend this gym to anyone looking for a top-tier jiu-jitsu experience for both kids and adults. You won't be disappointed!

Coach Eric is phenomenal at instructing and performing with my two daughters(which I thought would be the challenge)! He has taught them fundamental concepts as well as discipline in such a short window. As a family unit we look forward to our time with him and the Martial Yard altogether, not to mention that we were most grateful in the accommodation of our schedule. Highly recommended. Also Jeremy Chestnut is the Real Deal!

Very amazing facilities. Have everything you are looking for. Free weights. Workout equipment. Heavy bags...speed bags. Boxing ring. Mma cage. Also a arcade and pizza place on lower levels. On top level you have where you train Jiu Jitsu. Taught by Eric Leach. Who instructed me well on my first go around. Definitely will return again

As a thirty-something with no prior experience in jiu-jitsu or any grappling sports, working with Formula Jiu Jitsu has been an incredibly positive and transformative experience. The instructors are patient, knowledgeable, and truly dedicated to helping beginners like me grasp the fundamentals while building confidence. From day one, I felt welcomed by the supportive community and encouraged to progress at my own pace. The classes are well-structured and cater to all skill levels, which has made learning this complex martial art both fun and accessible. If you're thinking about starting jiu-jitsu, Formula Jiu Jitsu is the perfect place to begin your journey!

I was in town for work and hit up Formula JiuJitsu for a nogi drop on class. Eric is a great coach and is passionate about the sport. He shows attention to each student to work on specific area of the technique. I'm a purple belt and felt challenged through out the class and picked up some great specifics on my technique that I'll be working on. Do not hesitate to hit them up for training.

My grandchildren ages 7 and 9 love training here! Not only is it fun, they are developing confidence and discipline in a world where children deal with bullying on the daily. I
feel its important for children to learn self protection and the coaches make it fun. The head coach/owner Eric has a heart for training the kid classes.
I encourage all parents and grandparents to enroll! Do It for your kids. They will LOVE Formula Jiu-Jitsu
Great training, great coaches! Formula helps unlock your full potential and Coach Eric takes a great interest in your development. I’ve been a member for about 10 months and look forward to training 3-4 times a week. Highly recommend Formula Jiu Jitsu 🥋
