Magic Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu

Fantastic place to learn and train Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. I was unsure of what it would be like to start a martial art, having no experience with any martial art prior. I can say that over the last year and a half, as a student at MSU, my only complaint is that I wish I would've started training at Magic sooner. The environment is incredibly welcoming and you can choose to be competitive, exploratory, or casual, all at your own pace.The lead instructor Matt, along with multiple other highly-qualified and knowledgeable upper belts, establish a fantastic training culture. I cannot recommend this place enough for those interested in the sport.

Awesome place. If you want to come in and learn some serious ju-jistu, they got you. If you want to come in and work on learning how to defend yourself, they have you covered. If you want to come in and just get a great workout in through doing ju-jistu, they got you. They have great instructors who teach you moves the correct way. Overall just a great gym. If you are interested in ju-jistu, this is the place to be.

I can not say enough wonderful things about this gym! As a traveling team we stop at lots of gyms and some stand out completely! This is one of them.So incredibly friendly and welcoming, not to mention top instruction and instructors. My three daughters absolutely loved the experience and begged to come back!If you are in the Lansing area, stop by and have your kids do a trial week, because chances are you will end up members.What a great experience in every area.

Literally the pinnacle of what a jiu-jitsu gym could be. Coaches are absolute Gods and are passionate about both developing the sport of jiu-jitsu and teaching students. There is an atmosphere here which welcomes new students and retains them. Top it all off with an outstandingly clean environment and raised floors to make for the most comfortable experience possible. You will not find somewhere better. Magic is an A+ school. 100/100

I began training BJJ at Magic some years ago, but now live overseas. Whenever I am back in the area, Coach Matt and the rest of the Magic Team are always welcoming. Magic provides both high-level instruction and a welcoming training environment. Highly recommended for complete beginners and veterans alike!

This place is hands down incredible. I worked out here for two weeks while visiting Michigan for work and if I lived closer I would switch to this gym after only a few classes.The first thing I noticed when I went in was the enormous amount of mat space. At other gyms I have been to you are usually rolling in a small area on the mat and constantly bumping into to others. Here, there is plenty of room to roll and warm up. There is also plenty of space for your gym bag because there are shelves and people are allowed to place their things around the raised mats. The bathrooms are very clean, too.The instructors are incredibly thorough. I could feel myself retaining much more of the instruction thanks to the high level of detail. When they were going around they really took the time to make sure you have every little thing right and insist that you drill it in front of them until you have it. Other schools I have tried out just have an instructor walk around and give everyone a tip or two before moving on. At this gym you have no choice but to succeed.The level of skill was very good. I could feel that the people I rolled with had very solid fundamentals and I noticed that I was struggling to secure little victories I had begun taking for granted at my home gym. Everyone I rolled with was very welcoming and willing to give me tips to improve my game.The single best thing about this gym is the amount of time they make you drill for. At a lot of gyms there will be a brief warm-up, some half-assed drilling and then they'll jump right into rolling. Every class here will have you intensively drilling a new move until you have it right and the next class will be a variation of that move followed by more drilling. This is hands down the best way to learn. And, since classes are 90 mins long you will still get plenty of rolling in.I have been training for several months now and know some things I wish I'd known when I was shopping around for a gym. This place has it all. If there is any part of you that has any doubt, put it aside and try it out. There is no way you won't be satisfied with their services. I cannot speak highly enough about this place.

Had a great experience at Magic BJJ and I highly recommend this gym. Every staff member was curteous, welcoming, and knowledgeable. I visited the gym while on vacation. They welcomed me to their facilities with open arms. There was a lot of mat space and the gym was very clean. Look forward to visiting them in the future.

I was visiting Lansing again this summer and once again had the opportunity to go to two BJJ classes at Magic, this time at their new location. It's a beautiful facility, very clean and professional with large mats. Matt's a great teacher, and I found everyone very welcoming. Magic is a terrific place to train!

I was visiting Lansing and had the opportunity to visit Magic BJJ one time. When I asked if it would be okay to come Matt was very welcoming, and it turns out he's also an extraordinary teacher. It was a great atmosphere and a fun evening of learning a new move and rolling. If I lived in Lansing this is definitely the place I'd join.

I trained at Magic for about a year and my experience there was beyond fantastic.I was a total newb to BJJ, and after looking into several other BJJ places and just not feeling comfortable, I almost gave up.Then I found Magic BJJ. Magic is the perfect place to train. Matt Linsemier is a patient and knowledgeable instructor who invests himself in his students. As for the students, well, you'd be hard pressed to find a more welcoming group of people—all of whom are dedicated to improving their game.There are tons of class times. Many great laughs. And it's all affordable.Having moved away, I can't continue to attend Magic. But I can and will encourage anyone in the area to check it out. You'll be glad you did!
