Great vibe with plenty of gentle killers. James Gray is an incredible instructor. His teaching style keeps the ENTIRE SESSION interesting and fun, while being highly technical, which for me, is the most important thing when doing a Jiujitsu class after work. No crazy contract stuff either. Thank you to James and everybody here, who turned me into dog food again and again. I don't know if I got any better, but I sure stayed in shape.

Best gym in Michigan. Whether you are a beginner or training for competitions, you will learn something new everyday. The aspects I appreciated the most were the patience and attention to detail the coaches had with everyone. Would highly recommend this gym to anyone.

I have been training here for close to 10 years, I have accomplished every goal that I had set out for myself and then so many more. It's a great atmosphere to learn, as everyone is always extremely friendly and the coaching staff are knowledgeable and very high energy. I have always said that the head coach at the academy has a way of helping everyone see their true potential by eliminating the imaginary walls in which we set for ourselves. Even if you have no particular goals or none of the rest of that interests you, at the end of the day, it really is just a ton of fun!

By far the best martial arts gym in Michigan! James David Gray and his coaching staff are all amazing, passionate people that make it feel more like a family, than a gym! Both myself and my son have trained here over the years and i highly recommend any of their classes, beginner to advanced! Many more services including yoga, sports massage & nutritional coaching, as well.
