Ijust started training here a few days ago, and even with only three days of jiu-jitsu under my belt, I can honestly say this place is amazing. The coaches are patient, knowledgeable, and make you feel comfortable right away, even as a complete beginner. The environment is super welcoming—everyone helps each other, no ego, no pressure. Every class feels structured but fun, and I’m already learning way more than I expected in such a short time. If you’re new to jiu-jitsu or any of the programs they offer, this is the perfect place to start. Highly recommend!

This place is awesome! Great group of people all working hard to get better. I am in town for 3 weeks for work and needed a place to train and they said I could absolutely come in. Everyone is very welcoming and all the instructions are very detailed. Can’t thank them enough!

Amazing gym will teach you how to defend yourself and build a stronger mindset! Amazing staff that are very helpful in all categories especially the front desk worker swayze who gives great life advice. Trouble teaches you the basics on and off the Matt that you can use for your entire life. Shoutout Gavin too he makes it very fun to learn and makes the beginners Muay Thai classes feel advanced! Tim is a great Muay Thai coach who after one class will have you feeling ready to fight and also very exhuasted. Rob is an amazing coach in the morning classes and is even willing to help out in the afternoon so you can learn more moves. Also gabby is a very good photographer who will hook you up with good pics for free and she also coaches Muay Thai and is very good at teaching the flashier moves.

I’ve been training Jiu Jitsu for almost 9 years. I travel a bit for work and have had the opportunity to drop in to many gyms around the country. With that perspective, I can confidently say that Gentlemen’s Jiu Jitsu is certainly one of the top martial arts schools I’ve had the pleasure to train at. The instructors, students, and facilities are some of the best around, and the atmosphere and culture are very welcoming. They offer a wide variety of classes, in terms of type, skill level, age, gender, intensity, and time of the day. This is a great place to train whether you’re a hobbyist, competitor, someone that wants to get in shape, or someone that wants to try something new. I highly recommend training here if you have the opportunity.

I'm from out of state just swinging by to visit my family, so I give this local gym a call and see if they would let me drop in to some Muay Thai classes and sparring. The owners were super nice and even know people from my gym out of state. They also have useful combos that I haven't learned at my other MMA gym, which I found to be super useful to add to my repertoire. And they have group trips to do Muay Thai training in Thailand! Their members are all respectful and the atmosphere is clean and welcoming. Love it!
