Honestly, it is a big blast to train there and have two of the best guys teaching us how to get better at BJJ and Muay Thai. sadly, muay thai is not available now, but talking about BJJ and the owner of the gym - Steve, I have nothing else but nice things to say. He always helps, can spend time with you talking about different kinds of stuff. it is not "paid membership, come and leave" but this gym with time becomes a family, where you can share a cold drink after the training session. 10/10 recommending if you plan on doing BJJ. they also start MMA classes soon.

I returned to training after a long absence due to injury. I started training at Sion Bjj 10 months ago under Steve and these are my observations. High level instruction with classes progressively structured. Strong concepts. Big clean mat space with clean dressing rooms and full gym. Multiple classes a week with Steve teaching most of the classes. There are absolutely no egos in this gym, very good atmosphere. I highly recommend.

Don’t even know where to start! Sion BJJ is great and the reviews speak for themselves. Steve really takes his time and makes sure that everyone is understanding of the techniques and working to the best of their ability to get better. Haven’t delved into the world of martial arts before, but if you’re a willing to learn, I’d highly recommend Sion BJJ to get you started.

Steve’s life story alone is motivation. He’s a 100% chill and treats you like you’ve known each other all your life. Andrew is an excellent dedicated to the craft Muay Thai teacher. Gio is an excellent no-gi instructor as well-detailed in the art. Their care for his students growth is unmatched. And the people who join are much like the atmosphere they created-good people.
