I absolutely love this gym. The instructors Jimmy and Lisa along with their sons are very knowledgeable, extremely friendly and always willing to teach or to just have a chat. The environment is amazing. All the students are very welcoming. The facility is always clean and is family friendly. I’ve been rolling here for seven months and I do not regret a single minute of it. I have had an absolute blast being a part of this gym.

Amazing gym & amazing community. Was nervous to start my jiujitsu journey, but was warmly welcomed by everyone & now I’m hooked. Such a fun way to be challenged, get in a workout, & learn self-defense. Training here is something I look forward to every week! ❤️

I highly recommend this gym to anyone in the area or visiting! I am in the area this week on vacation. With an upcoming match, I wanted to train a few days. I messaged their FB page and Lisa immediately responded. I joined their women’s class this week and am so thankful I did! They were welcoming, friendly, and highly skilled! I left learning a few new techniques! I will definitely be back!
