One of the best schools on the east coast. Both the coaches and students will motivate you to be the best athlete you can become, no matter your goals. I would recommend giving this gym a try first if you are just starting out or looking for a new place to train in the area.

Dez is an excellent instructor for all experience ranges!!! He’s a great teacher, practitioner and representation of BJJ. He’s passionate about helping bjj, his students and athletes. His insight and dedication shines through in everything he touches. It’s a joy to know him as a man and an honor to train with him. He is one of the nicest human beings you will ever meet and also one of the toughest guys I have ever encountered.
