Detroit Jiu Jitsu provides an awesome training environment. I’ve been training at DJJ for 2 yrs and am grateful I found the gym. You can tell the owners, Danny Agemy and Anthony Fawaz, truly care about their gym and the people who train there. The culture is welcoming and focused on real improvement. The instruction is high-level and the training partners are respectful. I highly recommended checking it out!
This is hands down the best Jiu-Jitsu gym I’ve ever been to! The coaches are incredibly skilled, patient, and genuinely care about helping everyone improve, no matter their experience level. The atmosphere is friendly, motivating, and ego-free, making every class both challenging and enjoyable. The facility is always clean and well-maintained, and the team feels like family. I’ve gained not only technique and confidence but also great friendships — highly recommend this gym to anyone serious about learning and growing
DJJ is not only a school, but truly a huge part of my life. I moved here several years ago and didn’t know many people or anything about martial arts. I signed up for a free class and showed up to their old facility. Since that day I’ve met countless life-long friends, gained invaluable experience in grappling, and have a community I can always lean on. The best thing about DJJ is how authentic it is. It truly emulates the grit that you find in Michigan as you are learning from world-class black belts that have proven it in competition. Some schools teach what they see on the biggest stage, DJJ’s best have been and won there. The last thing I’ll have to say about DJJ is that it’s the best thing for an adult professional. Too often we get complacent in our habits and knowledge then boredom sets in. Anyone who joins DJJ knows that can’t happen. You have Brazilian jiu jitsu, Muay Thai, boxing, wrestling, and MMA all under one roof along with a weight lifting gym only open to members. Even if you go every day for a year, you won’t even scratch the surface of even one of those sports, let alone all of them. Hajj Danny and coach Anthony have made a world class gym right here in the heart of Michigan.
Detroit Jujitsu is hands down one of the best gyms in the area. The coaches are knowledgeable, patient, and dedicated to helping every student improve — whether you’re a beginner or advanced. The environment is clean, welcoming, and truly feels like a family. They also offer amazing boxing, kickboxing, and Muay Thai classes, all taught by top-tier instructors who know how to push you while keeping things fun and safe. Plus, their beginner classes make it easy for new people to start learning at their own pace. Highly recommend Detroit Jujitsu to anyone looking to train hard, learn real skills, and be part of a supportive community.
I’ve been training at Detroit Jiu-Jitsu for over a decade, and it’s truly like family. The coaches, training partners, and overall culture make this place second to none.
