REVIEW US ON GOOGLE
Dina Miller2024-10-17 Amazing place! The staff is incredibly friendly, especially the two ladies at the front desk—Coach Marleen and Coach Edyta, who are both exceptionally knowledgeable. Coach Scott is fantastic with the kids, and the entire coaching team is top-notch! It’s a great environment to learn self-defense for both kids and adults. The facility is clean, spacious, and even has a weight room. Come be a part of this wonderful jiu-jitsu community! Sam2024-10-17 I’ve been training here for about a year, and I couldn’t be happier with my decision. The staff is not only highly professional but also incredibly courteous, ensuring all your training needs are met. The professors and students alike create a warm and welcoming atmosphere that makes every session enjoyable. Garrett Grana2024-10-17 Been coming here over 4yrs. Prof Jamil, Prof Scott, Prof Chris, Prof Sergio and all the other staff will take you as far as you want to go. My kids have been all over the country and love this sport. Bring your kids and yourself and make some time for your family to train and grow in the sport together. You won’t regret it. Edyta Pavulska2024-10-17 Outstanding facility ( always clean, showers accessible, big changing rooms, lots of place for parents to watch their kids ) very dedicated instructors and inclusive of all levels of learning. Myself and my kids ( 12yrs and 6yrs ) love the place, coaches and professors. Adults, teens and kids programs offer maximum benefits, including discipline, mental focus, stress relief and physical fitness. Corey Goltz2024-07-03 Took my kids 11 & 13 here today. What an awesome facility, but the staff make the place what it is. Professor Scott treated the kids with respect and kindness. Front desk staff treated us like we were family despite just meeting them today. Evan Chelini2024-04-26 Dropped in for 6a class and had a great experience, everyone was welcoming and had great training partners, highly reccomended to anyone from out of town. John L2024-02-21 I was in town for work, and dropped in on the 6am GB1 class. Professor Scott was welcoming and friendly, and was great at breaking concepts down clearly and concisely for me and other students. Partnered with Ryan and Chase and others during class, and they were also friendly and very skilled. Appreciate the warm welcome from the Professor and the students. Would highly recommend the school. Joy K Jaochico2023-12-09 We signed up my 5yo, almost 6yo, for the kids level classes, and she loves it. Professor Scott, the coaches, and the staff are all very welcoming & friendly. Professor Scott works so well with all the kids, and my daughter always asks when she has jiu jitsu class again. We’re glad we found this facility & decided to sign up for classes.
