Great class! It was my first time at the Easton Thornton location and I brought a friend who wrestled in college, but never had done BJJ. We attended an all levels class. We focused on straight arm locks from closed guard, half guard and butterfly guard. The instructor was patient, very knowledgeable, and really helped me understand the mechanics. The culture was great! Everyone trained hard, was respectful and the randori after was great! 11/10 recommend!

Discipline, art form, defense and fun- all things the kids are learning here, as I sit watching my nephew go thru his class. I love that all the children are taught respect not only for the Professor but also for their Coach. Exercise is not demanded but a fun activity developing muscle tone and strength. The Professor is quiet, unassuming and the kids respect 'and' like him. The Professor knows and acknowledges each child by name. He reinforces the mindset of violence as a last resort, versus as a first response. Overall, I am happily impressed by this school and would recommend Easton Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu to anyone.

Highly recommend. We absolutely love Professor Pete. Bettie is a teenager and is allowed to make most decision in her life. She loves Jiu Jitsu and will always find herself back on the mats with her crew. She left Thornton to try out other opportunities but soon found out it’s not always what people promise. People make mistakes. She found herself competing again and had Professor Pete in her corner. Through thick and thin. Bettie has also worked for Professor Pete. He has always, treated her legendary. Always! He was the sweetest to my girl. That’s why she loves him so much. Period.

My 5 year old has been training here for about 4 months now and she absolutely loves attending class. I also couldn't be happier with the experience. The instructors are great with young kids, theyre incredibly patient, knowledgeable, and truly invested in each child's progress. I feel like they create a fun and supportive environment. What really stood out to me is how they incorporate daily team gatherings where they discuss with the kids important life lessons such as respect, perseverance, confidence and teamwork. I really feel like these moments help shape not just their jiujitsu ability but also their overall character. It's amazing to see my kid gaining confidence while learning valuable self defense skills. l've noticed a lot of growth in both her physical abilities and social interactions. I highly recommend this program for any young kids looking to learn martial arts. The facility is clean and well maintained too

Easton is an amazing fit for my family. We have been attending for over 2 months. This gym has a wonderful atmosphere and is a great space for learning. The coaches are VERY attentive and very understanding of how to teach young children a highly difficult and disciplined skill. Along with JuJitsu they have a “Mat Chat” daily where they discuss other life skills; such as being a good friend/sibling, controlling your emotions, and being self-disciplined. Safety is definitely a priority at Easton. I am very comfortable having my daughter in this gym and will be entering my youngest next year as welll! Thank you!!!
