First time going to Ferny's class today, I had a great time! I'm almost 30 years old attending the adult class at 6:30, this was my first time participating anything like jiu-jitsu I have to say, the coach (Ferny), students, and environment really made it a comfortable experience for me. Especially being a beginner. I look forward to learning more about the sport from Ferny and getting into shape!

We’ve been a part of this team going on 4 years now. If it wasn’t for the coach we wouldn’t have lasted this long. He’s the reason my kids keep going. Gym is very clean. Coach is easy to talk to. Great instructor. Great environment.

I have all my kids in Ferny's classes, they love it and so do I. Hes a great teacher with the little ones all the way up to the adults and prices are very very fair. He allows you to try a class for free before you start which is a cool way to check it out.. Its always clean and he's always very professional. I 100% recommend this gym for learning jiujitsu for fun or competition.

Tried a couple of other academies previously for my son and they weren’t a good fit. Ferny Jiu Jitsu was welcoming and my son took instantly to the other kids. Professor Ferny is awesome with the kids, he goes above and beyond for the kids at our academy. Highly recommend this academy.
