⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This was my first time training outside of my home gym. Barncat Jiu Jitsu exceeded my expectations! The facility was spacious and very clean, and their instructor Mikey was both knowledgeable and friendly. Everyone there made me feel welcome right away, which really put me at ease. I’d highly recommend Barncat Jiu Jitsu to anyone curious about trying jiu jitsu or looking for a great place to train.

Visiting from out of town and some friends of ours recommended I stop in at Barncat. Couldn’t have been happier with my experience. From the second I walked in I felt more than welcome. Coaches Paul and Connor were extremely welcoming, courteous and displayed their immense knowledge of grappling during class. Highly recommend this awesom gym!

If, you haven’t been here already then you should definitely make it a point to stop by. Barncat is full of fun, friendly, knowledgeable instructors. Conor, Paul, Seta, Mikey will take the time to build you from the ground up with the utmost professionalism you’ll find from any gym. My family has been training Muay Thai for 5+ years and decided to take a leap into the world of JiuJitsu. We are so happy to be learning/training at Barncat. No matter your skill level they take the time to build you up. Everyone we have encountered who trains there has been kind, friendly, and willing to teach you all the idiosyncrasies of the sport. Got kids, come on in and start them out in the kids and/or youth program. Are you a lady who’s looking for a great place to get grounded in self defense without having to practice with only men. Join my wife and Coach Seta for women’s class, she’ll give you all the knowledge you need to be confident in yourself and to kick butt doing it. We are so fortunate to be a part of this amazing community and Barncat family! First class is free, guaranteed you’re hooked!
