This group of people are more than just a gym. You’re family here. This place was so welcoming to my kid that was VERY nervous to start BJJ when we moved to here from out of state. All the coaches and owners are amazing with everyone they encounter! I can’t say enough praise or gratitude for how much these wonderful individuals have impacted my family and I! 10 out of 10 recommend!

True Grit has been great for my 10 year old son. Nervous at first but certainly have seen his confidence improve and he’s practicing at home. The coaches are great and patient while teaching new skills to the kids. The kids are engaged and have a great time! Definitely recommend True Grit!

I (40yr) have been training at True Grit with my son (13yr) for the past ~2 months. The coaches are great and the classes are structured. The atmosphere is fantastic and everyone is very encouraging and helpful. It’s a great workout and the skills that are taught are great! Their classes are flexible as they’ve allowed me to have my son attend some of the adult classes so we can fit training into our busy schedules. If you’re interested in training this is a great place for it. Give it a try!
