A Life-Changing Discovery We found Midgard completely by chance—just a sign we noticed while shopping. I’m so grateful we walked through those doors. My son, who is on the spectrum, was terrified to even go inside that first day. Coach Joe met him outside, and his welcoming approach immediately put my son at ease. That moment set the tone for everything that followed. In just 30 days, the transformation has been remarkable. My son is less shy, noticeably more confident, and has made genuine friendships with other students at Midgard. The community of coaches and students has embraced him completely. What stands out most is Coach Joe’s mentorship. He doesn’t just teach kickboxing and wrestling—he teaches life lessons that my son carries with him every day. That guidance has been invaluable. Midgard has truly been life-changing for our family. If you’re considering this gym for your child, I can’t recommend it highly enough. Thank you, Coach Joe, and thank you to the entire Midgard community!

Self-defense, Brazilian jiu-jitsu, kickboxing and more. My nine year old son is learning great techniques, all while having fun. Coach Joe is great with kids because he does various exercises/drills to keep it exciting. Sign up for a class now so you can take the opportunity to learn from Coach Joe!

My kids were initially hesitant to try martial arts, but I was pleasantly surprised! From the moment they stepped onto the mat, Joe created a welcoming and supportive environment that allowed them to thrive. Joe's dedication to helping each child reach their full potential is truly inspiring. He goes above and beyond to ensure that every student feels comfortable, engaged, and motivated to give their best. Through his guidance, my kids not only learned valuable martial arts techniques but also developed essential life skills like discipline, respect, and perseverance. The best part? They had an absolute blast! Joe's classes are filled with fun, exciting activities that keep the kids engaged and eager to learn. I cannot recommend Joe's martial arts classes enough. If you want to give your children an experience that will empower them, help them grow, and create lasting memories, this is the perfect opportunity.

The gym just recently opened, but the layout is very neat and practical. Coach Joe is a great instructor and has taught high level grapplers and fighters for years. Midgard is great not only for learning grappling but also self defense. Classes are not only useful but fun for all ages. I urge anyone reading to stop by and try it out.

I have been going to adult classes since Midgard BJJ opened. I am a complete beginner to BJJ and Coach Joe and his family have been nothing but welcoming and encouraging. Coach Joe certainly knows what he is doing and gives high-level instruction for a very reasonable price. I have learned a lot in the 18 classes I have been to and would highly recommend Midgard BJJ for anyone starting out or for seasoned practitioners who want to improve their BJJ/grappling skills. They also offer striking classes in Kickboxing and MMA that have been challenging and fun. Midgard BJJ is also very kid-friendly and, if I had kids, I would certainly enroll them in the classes. Coach Joe has told me himself that teaching kids is one of his favorite things to do and that he aims to not only develop kids in BJJ, but also to give them the tools needed for future success in whatever they choose to do. BJJ/grappling are great ways for anyone to develop life skills. Overall, this is a great place with great people that I can’t recommend enough. Come in and sign up to see what I am talking about. Hope to see you there!

If you want to learn Jiu Jitsu and submission grappling without all the fluff, this is the place. They are welcome by to newcomers with no experience, but also constantly turn out top tier competitive fighters. It takes a real level of mastery to be able to accommodate such a wide range of skill levels in their students, but they do it. Their staff are great with kids, too. I would definitely recommend this place.

I have been training with Coach Joe T for years. He is very knowledgeable in both the sport combat and self defense combat application. He is very technical and can adjust the techniques based on your abilities and in my case disabled veteran injuries he has helped me adapt to my present limitation. Agin he is not only an excellent teacher but can be a good friend to offer advice in and out of the mat.

My grandsons (9, 13) started training with Joe four years ago, and we are thrilled he’s now opened his own gym! He is an outstanding teacher, really good with kids. Jiu Jitsu, wrestling, self defense and kickboxing. Super clean. By Walmart. Try it out, you won’t be sorry.
