I've been attending just over a year. The culture is very family oriented in mannerisms, and there's a lot of attention given to each person. The coaches and upper belts are top notch providing great instruction, and when it's time to spar or "roll", they're formidable and challenging. Competing isn't required, but highly encouraged. They will help you get to where you want to be, if you truly want to get there. Show up and try a class out to see if it fits you.

I have been incredibly happy with the instruction that I, and my kids, have receive at Emerge. It is a comfortable atmosphere without any pressure to perform. Coach Don and Coach Matthew are always encouraging, and they maintain a respectful and welcoming attitude within the gym.

I have been going to Emerge for over a year now. When I first started going, my impression was that everyone was friendly and welcoming. It is a family friendly gym. Whether you are interested in learning Jiu Jitsu for self defense or competition, I highly recommend Emerge. If you are like I was and kept researching and putting off starting, the best thing to do is just call and sign up for a class. Better to start sooner than later! See you on the mats.

We had a great experience with Emerge Jiu Jitsu. Small town feel. Class was not overcrowded. My son enjoyed being able to test-out his first class with a “real” uniform. He is excited to return!

Just moved to the area so my boyfriend and I dropped in for a class. Jeff's instruction was great and all of the students were so welcoming. I actually forgot my belt so one of the students let me borrow his. Much appreciated! This school has a great all inclusive vibe. Thank you for a great experience!

This was the easiest place to fall in love with. The Coopers provide an amazing environment to learn this wonderful sport in. There are a lot of high level practitioners that role through here and share there knowlege. There is constant …

Don is the best coach. He KNOWS his stuff... and he’s able to TEACH it. The most patient man— kind, completely approachable... and still able to wrangle even the crazy little ones, and build these complex martial arts skills.More importantly... my daughters LOVE this sport. They’re learning valuable skills of self-defense, but it’s not an intimidating grind— they view it as FUN. They love showing up for practice, and both Coach Don and Coach Matthew (also awesome!) are one-in-a-million. (Or rather, TWO-in-TWO-million).

My experience at Emerge has been wonderful. As a woman with no martial arts background this has been a safe, encouraging place to learn.The staff is so patient and friendly.The facilities are CLEAN, no stinky gym smells here. I am officially hooked!

We love it here! I appreciate that not only are our kids learning jiu-jitsu, but they are gaining confidence, discipline and strength. Coach Don and Matthew are amazing with the kids, and have a wonderful balance of encouragement and firmness. Kids are expected learn the skills taught, and to also become good teammates. We highly recommend Emerge!
