Elevate Dojo

Elevate Dojo is more than just a jiu-jitsu gym, it’s a place to grow as a person. I’ve learned so much about myself just from stepping on the mats. Training here has given me peace of mind, confidence, and a real sense of purpose. Sensei Brett and Sandra are both high-level coaches who genuinely want to see you win, on and off the mats. Whether you’re here for fun, competition, or to master the art, Elevate is the place where you’ll actually reach your goals.

I have been at Elevate since October and my time there has been nothing short of amazing. I started with absolutely no martial art experience, and since starting I’ve learned so much both inside and outside of martial arts. The community Elevate provides is truly incredible and recommend absolutely everyone to come to Elevate Dojo.

Been a student since early 2020. First day in is intimidating but it was a warm welcome. Sensei Brett and Sandra are superb coaches, leaders, and friends. They will guide you to go as deep into the sport as you want, hobbyist or competitor. They instill a culture of learning and community which is not the trope of some martial arts / grappling schools which can be fight until you are hurt. Was able to travel and do Judo and jiu jitsu in Spain through the efforts and relationships of this club. Thanks Elevate

Brett and I practiced Uechi Ryu years ago in RI, since then he has gone on to earn his black belt in karate, judo, and jujitsu. He and his wife started Elevate Dojo and it’s quite the community. I’ve visited a number of times and over the years he has been instrumental on continuing my journey (albeit from AZ). He instructed me online during COVID and I’ve recently engaged in his RI Karate instruction from AZ. He has a unique gift of noticing slight inflection corrections, even on video. Highly encourage anyone interested in the martial arts to experience his unique approach, skill, and the Elevate Community. No matter your level of interest or skill, this is a learning dojo. I’ve watched him softly suggest a slight correction to black belts off, and online, and watched them light up with insight and comprehension. On another note, we’ve done some interviews with students and professionals that are finding skills learned in the dojo—on the mat—unexpectedly transfer to life outside of the dojo. Regardless of age, a common response, “I’ve learned much more here than I originally expected or anticipated.”

I'm a college student who has been training at Elevate Dojo for about around a month now or so I believe - the environment there is very welcoming and Sensei Brett does a really great job at ensuring that the individuals he deals with are heard meanwhile showing that he genuinely cares about your goals, desires, and aspirations for what brings someone there. So far, the most immediate impact that training there has had on my life is the conditioning that it has been bringing back to me after so many years away from anything like what is offered at Elevate - I am a US Army veteran who is service-connected disabled with a significantly high % physical rating and I feel this has done great things for me in regard. I would highly recommend any college student who is looking for something that can help their confidence, physical conditioning, and a sense of belonging to place Elevate Dojo and Sensei Brett high within their consideration as they are building something solid there for them as well as anyone else that is interested in these same blessings in their life.
