Great place for kids! Their patience is amazing and the kids have learned so much. My kids behavior and mental health have increased exponentially
I joined after not training for a year. I felt welcome by the coaches and other students on the first day. The gym is kept clean, everyone is respectful, and the environment is beginner friendly. I've also noticed that the coaches welcome the more advanced students and ensure they can work on their technique no matter who's on the mat. I highly recommend this gym, especially to those who are new to Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.
