The instructors at 7 Spears are fantastic. Coach Rod and team take the time to get to know their students, encourage them and work on technique. I especially appreciate the way they encourage my son during difficult moments. I am confident these will be skills my son will carry into his adult life. In addition to this, the facility is EXTREMELY clean. Highly recommend!!!!

We have been coming here for a few months and love it! Most importantly the kids enjoy it and it challenges them to be better and provides discipline they need. The facility is always clean and up-kept. The staff is friend and welcoming. Everyone is great! I can def see the progress the technique they learn… i love that they provide the flexibility to choose what day or how many days you want to come in which is great as a parent flexibility is super important. We come in 3 times a week. The business itself provides great communication to keep parents continuously informed of the week events etc. Def recommend. And def recommed ninja night! Something fun and entertaining the kids enjoy as well. Thanks seven spears!

My kiddo started at 4 years doing Muy Thai initially with this company and absolutely loved it! He learned his basic kicks, punches, and stances. Very interactive, amazing instructors and they made the kids feel comfortable. We eventually had to transition to a different program due to our work schedule and now still with this company but under their Ju jitsu program. My son’s been doing this new program for about 4-5 months at this point and of course loves it too! The kids learn discipline, the basics of ju jitsu and get to battle each other. The class size is small enough where the instructors know each child’s name, and able to make sure that when they do battle each other it’s in a safe way. Both studios have places for parents to sit and both very clean. They get cute uniforms to wear and belts where they get stripes indicating their advancement. Overall, great experience here. Price is reasonable, and the owner Ms. Stephanie is very understanding about scheduling, etc.

Awesome family vibe! Our whole family trains here. Coach Rod and the instructors are passionate about Jiu Jitsu- you can tell they love what they do teaching solid fundamentals to advance techniques. The coach watches you closely and make sure you're doing the techniques correctly. This gym is beginner friendly, very welcoming, clean mat space and lots of parking.

I've been taking the 6 a.m. BJJ class with Coach Dori for a couple of months now. At first, I was hesitant to start because of a condition that limits my abilities, but Coach Dori took the time to talk with me and emphasized the importance of longevity in learning BJJ. His approach made all the difference. Coach Dori is not only highly skilled but also an excellent teacher. He meets each student where they are, treats everyone with respect, and creates a welcoming environment. Once you're in his class, you feel like part of his team. If you're on the fence about starting, or think you don't have the time, I highly recommend trying just one 6 a.m. class. Come say Hi.
