My experience here was tremendous. Allen does a great job explaining the various techniques and steps in order to execute various moves in the art of Jiu-Jitsu. His knowledge and experience is immense, and he imparts it on you in a way that keeps you engaged and learning throughout the session. Highly recommend to anyone interested in Jiu-Jitsu, other combat sports, or anyone in search of self defense courses. I will for sure be returning again and look forward to further developing my skills.

My son Connor has been been taking classes at Dauntless I guess about 9 months. I have visited the gym and felt very welcomed by Mr. Sachetti and his sons. Connor was encouraged to participate in a tournament and yesterday was his first one. I have been on cloud 9 since last night beaming with pride. The sons Josh and Caleb were raised well and it shows. They really made me feel welcomed yesterday and are super respectful. I cant wait for the next one! Thank you Dauntless.

One week in with BJJ and everyone here is respectful and kind, but humorous at the same time. The instructors are informative, highly skilled, and welcoming. It's a challenging but safe learning environment, and I'm already obsessed with this sport! I'm very happy to be training here and I'm excited to improve 😁👍

WOW!! This has to be the Best kids BJJ school in Delaware. #1 They really teach the kids not just play games with them. The class is structured and the 2 Instructors Josh & Caleb are each World Champions in Sub Only BJJ. They are patient, caring but also challenging to lead the kids to become their best. Dauntless is not like those cheap schools where they just house the kids for an hour and let them wrestle wild with a lot of force. At Dauntless they take their time to make sure each kid is understanding the position and the Technique they are doing that night. They work hands on with kids to get them to execute moves when they get the energy for them. I am learning a lot too JIu-Jitsu is not about force but reading your opponent.
