Abby and all the coaches are amazing! My son started jujitsu there when he was 4 years old and he is 9 now. They are very patient and want to help grow your whole child not just the athlete part, which I appreciate. Abby has poured a lot into my son which has also transferred in him being a great wrestler. I would highly recommend this gym!

Since starting at revolution, my son has shown incredible growth, not just in his physical abilities but also in his confidence and discipline. The coaches are phenomenal - they are patient, supportive, and really know how to connect with kids, making training fun while still pushing them to reach their full potential. The gym has a positive, family-like atmosphere where everyone feels welcomed and encouraged. I couldn't be happier with the progress my son is making at revolution and highly recommend it to any parent looking for a top-notch MMA program for their child!

Amazing place to train. Very welcoming. Hard training. I go for Jiu Jitsu and their Jiu Jitsu is top notch and a lot of good people to train with. You learn self defense and a sport all in one. Kids Jiu Jitsu program is amazing. If you're looking to get yourself or your kids involved in a Martial Art I highly recommend Revolution. They also offer kickboxing as well which that class is packed as well.

Love Revolution! Locally owned and family friendly! My family of 4, including children ages 5 and 10 have been attending Brazilian Jujitsu classes since July. We have had a wonderful experience with classes here. The kids are gaining confidence and life skills in a safe and fun environment. Abby, the owner/instructor really cares about people. My husband injured his knee and was out recovering from surgery missing a few months but Abby stayed in communication checking in throughout and offering support and advice upon his return. He’s able to structure is learning around the still sensitive knee. I recommend and will continue to recommend Revolution to anyone looking to train in jujitsu or kickboxing.
