Rising Tide Hi Tech Martial Arts: Gracie Jiu-Jitsu, Muay Thai, MMA

Hi Tech Martial Arts is the best way to start my day, and sometimes also finish it. The academy is clean and is supported by highly skilled and professional staff. The availability of classes throughout the day, variety of BJJ instruction for kids, adults, women, and over 40 is unprecedented, add Muay Thai, Judo and MMA, and the school just provides so many opportunities to train.

My son has been training here for 1.5 years and the difference in him is tremendous. He has gained confidence, discipline and tenacity all while having fun on the mats. The coaches here are top notch and always go above and beyond for the students. From everyday classes to competitions, coaches devote time and effort into the students to help them be the best they can be. Coaches, students and families are very friendly here and always make you feel welcome. The facilities are clean, safe and welcoming. Highly recommend!!!

I started with only participating in the women's self-defense class, mainly to build confidence and learn to protect myself. After about 6 months, I slowly transitioned to the coed class and surprisingly I have fallen in love with the sport! The coaches are incredibly supportive and always available for questions, genuinely wanting to see their students grow. The upper belts are approachable and some of the most humble people I've ever met. Ted, Anton, and Naqi are not just owners; they’re present and active, and their love and passion for the sport is evident. What I love most is the sense of community where everyone is learning together. So if you’re considering trying this out especially if you're a woman, my advice is simple: just go for it! You have nothing to lose and might even find yourself grateful for taking that first step. I know I am!

I love bringing my kids here. They’re challenged and supported every single day. My youngest is new to jiu-jitsu in the Little Sharks program and is just starting to find his rhythm. The coaches are patient, gentle, and incredibly encouraging with him. My older kids (11 and 10) have been training for a while, and they’re truly pushed to grow (both physically and mentally) in ways that expand their limits and build confidence. Sometimes they win and sometimes they learn and they're level headed about it- I love that. Persistence is one of the most important traits a child can develop to succeed in life, and I truly believe the coaches at Hi-Tech are helping instill that in my children every day.

I’ve been training at Hi-Tech for about a year now, and I can confidently say this gym stands out from the rest. All of the coaches are highly experienced, and the classes are very well structured, with different topics covered throughout the week so you’re constantly building your skill set instead of repeating the same material. I’ve trained at a few other gyms in the area over the years, but this one truly spoke to me because of how engaged the instructors are. They don’t just teach and leave — they invest in their students , get to know your name and your style. This is very ideal for building a skill set for the rest of the life. The gym is open seven days a week, and everything is well monitored and controlled to ensure a safe and suitable training environment, whether you’re there for fitness, as a hobbyist, or training at a competitive level. What really separates this gym from others is the personal attention. For example, when I was gone for a week, a few of the instructors reached out to check in and make sure everything was okay. That shows they see you as more than just someone paying for a service — they genuinely care about your journey and want you to be class. Each instructor brings different attributes and strengths to their teaching style, which gives you a diverse range of techniques and perspectives. That variety helps tremendously in building an individual’s martial arts journey and overall skill set. On top of that, the gym is very organized and consistently clean. I highly recommend Hi-Tech to anyone serious about training in a supportive, structured, and professional environment.
