World class instruction from top to bottom. This place creates some of the toughest students around thanks to Juniors ability to teach his incredible depth of knowledge in a clear and easy to understand format.

my husband and daughter both train here. my daughter is absolutely obsessed BJJ. she looks forward to going everyday and training. the shorter classes are great for the little ones too - long enough to learn, but short enough to keep their attention the whole time. the community within the gym is amazing as well :)

Such a great place. Staff is great. But the professor is so great with kids. The confidence my kids have gained with his coaching and leadership has been amazing. Would recommend this gym to anyone with kids.
