Going to true north academy was one of the greatest decisions I have ever made. By joining this gym, not only did my skills improve drastically but I found a hobby that I look forward to going to everyday. Joshua is a great teacher in many ways as he is knowledgeable, patient, and teaches things that work. He makes class fun and accommodating to all skill levels.

I have been attending for a month and my experience has been great! Joshua is very knowledgeable and great at teaching all age levels. He makes learning jiujutsu fun and not intimidating. I walk away with learning something new after every class.

I'm a female in my 30s and completely new to martial arts. So far I've taken a few Muay Thai and Jiu Jitsu classes here. It has been such a wonderful fun experience! Josh has a palpable passion for these arts, is such an amazing teacher and makes learning an incredibly fun experience! The other students, whether beginners or experienced practitioners have also made me feel right at home.

We LOVE True North Martial Arts! Both of my kids have been going to classes for about 6 months now and they have learned so much. After trying a few other martial arts studios, Joshua at True North is the best. I highly recommend trying them out!

Excellent martial arts studio and AWSOME group of people. For anyone interested in practicing martial arts the hardest part is finding a place and stepping through the door into the unknown. Well this is the place . Everyone their couldn’t be more friendly and welcoming and helpful . Josh is an experienced , professional , and patient instructor . You start with the basics and the instruction is tailored to your level . I tried a couple of other places and got stuck in a corner feeling like a punching bag for more experienced people with no personal instruction. Not here. And even if your just looking for an awesome fun way to get in shape this’ll do it. With the 40$ try out as many classes as you want for a week with no commitment you can’t go wrong . I’d recommend Tru North Martial arts to anyone young and old . Definetly try it out .

We love True North! Our 3 kids (8, 10, 13) started off doing Royce Gracie Jiu-Jitsu with True North last spring during the shutdown through private lessons. Once True North opened their dojo on Coleman Blvd we all started attending classes there (my husband and I joined as well). It's hard to believe we've been at this for almost a year! It's such a great workout and Joshua is so great with our kids. We all look forward to classes each week.As a side note, our kids formerly took karate classes. While those classes were good, they can not compare to what the kids are learning at True North, Royce Gracie Jiu-Jitsu. The de-escalation and conflict avoidance is wonderful but so is the knowledge our kids can defend themselves with a realistic fighting style.
