My four- and five-year-old attended a free trial class, and I was very impressed! The instructors did a wonderful job engaging with the kids, and both of my children had a great time. They made it fun while still keeping the class structured. I would definitely recommend this program to other parents.”

Visited this gym twice while in town on vacation. I really enjoyed the training and the people. The instructors were great and the other students were as well and everyone was welcoming. If im ever back in the area I will definitely go back.

I’m so happy we found Steel Coast BJJ! My boys love going to class everyday. We were able to try it out for FREE for 2 weeks! But after only one day there, we knew we found the right place to be. You feel welcomed the moment you come through the door. The coaches are amazing with the kids! I love that there is always 3 sometimes even 4 coaches per class. That really helps with the younger kids who need extra guidance. Steel Coast BJJ is the place to be! You’ll love it!
