I have attended several jiu-jitsu schools, but The Jiu Jitsu Lounge stands out as my favorite by a significant margin. The instructors here are incredibly personable, kind, and compassionate, offering outstanding group and private instruction that truly enhances the learning experience. Their kids' program is exceptional and has been a remarkable blessing in my son's life. At just 6 years old, he has gained confidence, accountability, thoughtfulness, and mental resilience from attending classes three times a week for just over a month. What I appreciate most is that they are very beginner-friendly, making it easy for newcomers to feel welcome. The community at The Jiu Jitsu Lounge is one of the most positive environments I've encountered in years, catering to both youth and adults alike. I wholeheartedly recommend this school to anyone interested in learning Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, parents looking to instill character and values in their children, and anyone wanting to explore martial arts in a supportive and enjoyable setting. Their flexible schedule accommodates a variety of needs, allowing for learning at different times throughout the day. Personally, I've progressed more quickly here than at any of my previous schools, thanks to the highly personable and professional instruction. I can't recommend The Jiu Jitsu Lounge enough!

If I could give this place 100 stars I would. The coaches here are absolutely incredible. They are so talented as athletes and such kind and good hearted people who truly look to see the best in all of their students. This is a rare no-ego no cult vibe gym that focuses on technical skill and tried and true curriculum that works. I have known the coaches as a white belt who had never even thought about getting into competition, to an active competitor. Jiu Jitsu Lounge is a fantastic place to get started in BJJ or hone your skills in competition. The coaches have single handedly coached myself as well as many of my team members to significant wins. Whether you are just looking to try something new or elevate your game this is definitely the place to do it. Don’t forget the lounge part— they also host fantastic some fantastic non-BJJ activities on select occasions.

Trained with Drew and Luis for 4 years of my career from when I was a white to purple belt. It’s amazing to see them have their own spot now. Truly students of the game. High level intellectuals and great competitors. It’s not easy to mix a class of practitioners and competitors yet they know the formula to do so. Finally got the chance to visit a few months after they opened over the summer. Cannot wait to get back to train with them again. Great vibe and make sure you stop for an espresso and açãi bowl too before leaving training!
