My children and I have been training under profesor David Townsend for over a year now. We are so fortunate to train with him again at Inevat Jiu Jitsu East Downtown. The facility has such a welcoming atmosphere, and the community that David has built is very supportive. Profesor David is an excellent instructor that will push you to be a better athlete after every class. A well rounded class with excellent technique and conditioning. Highly recommended!!!

This is one of the most welcoming gyms I’ve ever been to. Professor David runs an awesome place and makes everyone feel comfortable right away. I’m brand new to BJJ (only about 3 weeks in), and from day one I felt accepted. If you’re nervous or unsure about trying BJJ, don’t be. Just come in for one class and you’ll see how welcoming everyone is. I already wish I had started sooner. I highly recommend this gym and Coach David whether you’re a beginner or more advanced.

I’ve been training with Professor David for over a year now, and it’s clear that he truly puts everything into his teaching. The community here is outstanding, and gyms that offer this level of jiu-jitsu instruction are few and far between. Whether you’re looking for a great workout or wanting to learn a valuable life skill, this is the place to be.

This location has only been open for two months and is already becoming a beacon of light for the local Jiu Jitsu community. The gym offers adult and kids classes, in an atmosphere that is both fun and challenging. At Inevat East downtown, you will find expert-level coaching and technical advice suited to where you are in your journey, whether you are new to the sport or a more advanced practitioner looking to hone your game. The head instructor, David, is warm and professional, and treats all students with dignity and respect. The lesson plans are always intentional and well-organized, ensuring that every new technique taught is rooted in foundational skills. If you are thinking of trying a new sport, come for the adult fundamentals classes at 6:15pm. Monday, Wednesday, and Friday are no-gi fundamentals, so you can start training today without needing to invest in any special gear. If you are looking for a welcoming community and a class structure that pushes you to be a little bit better every day, this is the place for you.

Best place I have ever taken any kinds of lessons from, the professor is incredibly patient, talented and easy to talk to. The lessons are very good and well paced. If you’re trying to learn any martial art this is the place most definitely.
