I can’t recommend this gym enough! We have been going to this gym for almost 2 years and have nothing negative to say. Nick and the surrounding coaches are supportive and just the right combination of serious and fun. They have a great structured class and the kids learn amazing technique. They offer drop ins to see if it’s a right fit which I love. 10/10 recommend to anyone that is interested.

My son and I planned to both do a class while visiting the area. Communication was professional and the facility was excellent and appeared to be very clean. My son participated in a level 3 kids class and the instruction was great. The instructor was professional and personable. We will definitely return when we are in the area again.

All I have to say is wow! Nik is a fantastic instructor, we went for our first session for my son. He absolutely loved it and has not stopped talking about going back since. Nik I feel gave great age appropriate levels of discipline and was calm and relaxed to each student he interacted with. I also loved the structure of the class where they started with practicing the balance required for the movement, then went into the actual technique, and then had the kids play a game using said technique. I would recommend Nik and the West Idaho Brazilian team to anyone that is looking to get into it.
