I was invited by a friend to try out a jiujitsu class and it was such a good experience that I joined the gym after class. All staff members were helpful and friendly, the more experienced guys treat you with respect and take time out to help guide you. I would recommend this gym to anyone in the area looking for a quality gym

My 8 year old started taking classes 4 weeks ago and LOVES it! He usually has a lot of unfocused energy. Jiu jitsu classes has given him an outlet to focus and build confidence. Coach John, Coach Josh and Coach Marcus have been great. They are very patient and encouraging to him. Even showing him (several times) step by step how to tie his Gi belt. He looks forward to classes every Tuesday and Thursday. The environment is very family friendly. It’s definitely a great place for kids.

Dropped in the new location tonight and gotta say, world class facility. Huge gym, multiple mats, ring, and weight training/cardio area.Everyone was great, coach was extremely helpful and people were very friendly. Definitely the gym to goto on this side of town, and one of the top in the city (from what I saw I'd say the top for boxing / mma).Great to see the gym grow to the size it is now in such a short time. They deserve it. Check it out for sure
