⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I couldn’t recommend more. I was in search of a martial arts school and did not quite know what discipline I wanted to follow. I filled out interest on the website and professor reached out right away and offered an assessment class to make sure it was a fit for both. Classes are small, egos are checked at the door and all levels are welcomed. I had no previous BJJ experience and have felt part of the community from the beginning. I have never felt pushed beyond my safety limits yet challenged constantly!

Amazing experience. So thankful we found these classes, all three of our kids wanted to sign up once they did a trial class. He is amazing with all ages, very motivational and you can tell loves teaching and the practice of jiu-Jitisu. Highly recommend to anyone of any age.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

This incredible studio features in depth teaching and deep commitment to both individual excellence and the team/community. I joined as a complete novice. I felt welcomed as a member, and I have been encouraged to grow as an individual. Eight months in, my skills have grown under the thoughtful, personal attention of Professor Pierre and the coaches he has trained. My experience has been small classes, focused feedback, and (importantly for me) a relentless focus on safety. I can’t recommend this experience strongly enough. I attend less often than some (~2 days/week) and I feel just as valued as those who train several times a day. (Posted as Meghan Webster, but this is a shared family account).
