I’ve been coming here for over a year and I can honestly say this is the most welcoming dojo I’ve ever been to! EVERYONE is humble and willing to learn from one another. The energy in this place is fantastic because the way it’s run. Professor Kevin Howell and his wife, Haley Howell (brown belt) and great. I was hooked on the first night. Now they’re family.

Great place to BJJ! Dropped in for a couple of days of training while visiting from out of town. One of the best spots I've been in the world for getting beat up in a safe, friendly, controlled environment. Very legit coaches and training partners with no silly aggro vibe. Will definitely be back here when I'm in town again!

I dropped in for a couple classes here when I was down here for work. Kevin and everyone there is very welcoming. It's a great mix of a relaxed environment with well-paced classes, good rolls, and a great workout. I wouldn't hesitate to come back if I'm down in the area again! Thanks!

I was visiting the area for a couple of weeks and looking for a place to train. As soon as I walked in the doors of The Jiu-Jitsu League, it was very welcoming. Everyone introduced themselves and was friendly. The gym is very open with a lot of mat-space. The place was full every night, everyone has solid technique and the workouts were great. Kevin and Haley are awesome. Kevin is very personable, understands how to teach and extremely knowledgeable. Although I was just visiting, he treated me like a member of the gym. Definitely going back the next time I’m in town.

I visited this gym while I was in Los Angeles and it is by far one of the better gyms I have visited.The instruction by Professor Kevin is of the highest quality. He is constantly making sure that his students are improving their game and is also having a good time. Training there is challenging but yet still very fun.The atmosphere at Jiu-Jitsu league is very welcoming. Even though I only trained there for a day, by the end of that day, it felt like I had been training there for a while. The instructors and the members there make you feel very welcome and comfortable. All skill levels are welcome and are treated with respect.
