Absolutely wonderful training facility and one of my favorite places in North America to visit and learn. I am from Western Canada and make a point to visit once a year.The people are very welcoming and the self defence style of jujitsu offered is amongst the best. I would recommend this place to anyone regardless of experience or skill level.

As a purple belt, I was traveling through Hattiesburg for work for a week. I went into the gym and Professor Allen welcomed me with open arms, supplied me with a loaneir G, and even waived the drop in fees, as I'm active duty military. The gym is clean, the people are awesome,and the rolls were respectful, but intense. Highly recommend this gym if you live in the area, or are a traveling BJJ fanatic like myself. Thanks again for your hospitality!
