We have always been made to feel like family by Mr. Burge Franks and all of his students, including adults and children. The level of knowledge that Burge brings, coupled with his welcoming, positive personality makes this one of the best BJJ gyms in the area!

I have trained here for 8 years now with some of best teammates and one of the best MMA/BJJ coaches in the Mid-South, Burge Franks. This place is my second home and I am honored to be a part of the family. If you have aspirations of becoming a fighter, learning self defense or just want to get in shape with meaningful activity while learning valuable skills, this is the place for you!

My family has been training here for 4 years. Coach Burge is absolutely amazing with the kids class, and the adult class is like a family. Everyone is extremely nice and accepting of new comers. If you are looking for a family oriented place to train, this is the place for you!!

Honestly the best place to be. Everyone treats you like family. The coaches between Burge and Willie you get so much experience, knowledge, talent, and teaching from them that is probably some of the best around the world. I'm blessed to be apart of The House.

The absolute best place in the area to learn, get in shape, build a lifestyle, and become part of an amazing family!!! The coaches are phenomenal and go out of their way to help you succeed. There is no pressure to compete for those that don't want to and the emphasis is on getting better and having fun while doing so. I would give 100 stars if I could!!
