Great place to train! I've been training here for about 3 years and couldn't be happier. It is truly a family environment. No egos or people with something to prove. Very welcoming to people from all walks of life, and all skill levels. Professor Davis brings a love and passion for Jui-Jitsu and shares it selflessly. The real joy is watching the changes in the kids. Their confidence both on and off the mats has grown exponentially. No matter what your jiu-jitsu goals, this is a great place to begin your journey.

Primal Training Center is one of the best places to train anywhere! Everyone who trains here is friendly and respectful. Professor D Davis is so knowledgeable and takes the time to help people individually. He knows that different people practice Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu differently and with different goals in mind. Whether you are looking to compete in tournaments or are mostly interested in self-defense, Professor Davis tailors his answers to your body type and style, so that you get the most out of training. This gym is a must-try for anyone who is looking for the genuine article. I feel so lucky to train with these men and women.

After training at several BJJ and MMA gyms, I can honestly say that Primal BJJ is the best school I have ever been to. Professor D. Davis is a master of his craft and a natural teacher and leader. From day one you will feel like family. Everyone is welcoming, everyone is helpful, everyone is nice. Each class is taught by a black belt, and on a standard weekday class there may be 5 or more true black belts to roll with, each with a decade or more of experience. If you want to get good at Jiu Jitsu fast, this is the place to be. I can't recommend this school enough.

I started training at Primal about 2.5 years ago and I have had a great experience - D is a true professional that truly cares about giving every one of his students the tools that they need to succeed at jiu jitsu. You won't find over sized egos at this gym, as everyone that trains is willing to help out their fellow student and promotes a great team atmosphere. I have never left a class without learning something new, and that speaks volumes about the level of personal instruction that you receive at Primal.
