Thank you for the hospitality. We were in town visiting family and I wanted to roll for my birthday. Everyone was very friendly and the one purple belt I got to positional roll with didn’t get his belt for attendance. Thank you very much for letting our family roll through.

We started our son here 2 years ago. He was unsure of himself and lacked self confidence. Training with coaches Chuck, Austin, Karl and his peers allowed our son to achieve the confidence and mastery of self defense he needs to succeed. We had to stop the membership due to relocation but would recommend this BJJ dojo to anyone with shy/timid children.
