My wife and I started in February and I can honestly say it has been the best thing for us as it has brought us even closer together (literally lol) but Breakaway is friendly, fun, challenging all while coupled with expert instruction and a chill vibe! Can I give 6 stars? 10?

Been training here for a year now and love it. Great Professors, coaches, and friends. Relaxed atmosphere, financially doable, and a real feeling of accomplishment. Thoroughly enjoy each and every class.

You will not find a better place to learn and practice BJJ. The instructors are all great, and the classes are well thought out and executed with passion and technical expertise. If you’ve been looking for a place to train, look no further. This place is simply the best.

Awesome environment! My son takes part in the kids classes and also joins me in the adult classes. Every instructor is patient and willing to take the time to teach and improve me and my son on our Jiu Jitsu journey. 🥋 …

I’ve been at this for a little bit and I’ve dropped into a lot of BJJ locations. Gotta say, I LOVED the vibe here. Really wish I was TDY a little longer to get more training in. The place just has a great overall feel. Folks are welcoming and the facility is CLEAN (excellent foot scrub station!). The instruction is professional, but friendly…technical, but not rigid. There’s a lot to be said about professors who are still learning new things and advancing their own jiu jitsu - it really comes through in the instruction. Anyway - if you’re in this area full-time, def give them a look.

My two sons and I have been training at Breakaway Jiu Jitsu for a little over a year now and I have nothing but overwhelmingly positive things to say about our experience. The owners (Rob and Kassy) are humble, hard working, and truly take enormous pride in their craft. The coaches are absolutely amazing. Our teammates are basically family. The training sessions are both technical and challenging. Egos do not exist here. This is exactly what I was looking for in a gym and I am so grateful for what Breakaway represents. Do yourself a favor and stop by for a session or two...you won’t be disappointed.

This gym is everything you want in Jiu Jitsu at any level. Rob has amazing knowledge and he really loves to share it. As a white belt, everyone goes out of their way to teach and push new students in a supportive and encouraging way. There is a wide range of talent to push students at every level. There are other coaches (Brendan, Dave, and Kassy) who are also outstanding and bring their own personality and approach. I have had a fabulous experience every time I have walked in the gym and couldn’t recommend it higher. Come and check it out!
