This academy is outstanding. I have two young boys (4 and 6) that attend two days a week. The classes are a good blend of BJJ and fun for kids this age, who are full of energy (especially mine). As for me, I started at 39 when I enrolled my kids. I had a limited background with martial arts from the military, but nothing strictly focused on just BJJ. Professor Travis is an outstanding teacher. He is extremely proficient and his classes are organized, methodical, and build on each other, which is great for retention. The culture here is also extremely welcoming. I've met some great people so far and I look forward to starting my day with them at the 6:30 am class. It's been a great experience, and I will definitely keep my family here for years to come.
