Me & my Family move and travel a lot around the US. This is the first time I have an issue with a BJJ instructor for KIDS classes!! Based on my own experience, Nick might be good with adults, but not so much with kids. There is no structure, no organization, no respect, very casual BJJ where they don't encourage kids to wear the Gi, they don't bow on/off the matt and he does not encourage safety and control. If you are looking for a good professional etiquette BJJ for the KIDS, this is not it. He's way is more bully' style, for grown adults that's perfect, we are talking about KIDS here, which I am not interested in Paying somebody to teach kids bullying is fine! Several times i saw kids hitting each other's heads, faces, smacking, bullying. Boys are rough, but discipline and respect are two of the most important things in MMA. Several times I expressed my concerns not only to Nick but to one of the managers. And nothing was getting better. Last time i spoke with Nick he started yelling like a maniac in front of other people and my son!! Calling him a liar and other stuff?! What is this place?! At a point where my own Son told me 'I don't want to go there anymore mom'. He is 9yrs old, and he has been in MMA classes since he was 4, we are not rookies on this. My husband also takes MMA classes there and I was getting ready to also start GYM. So they not only lost one, but 3 members at once. No professionalism, they could care less, talk to each other about the members and they do Not take care of them as a business should. Another guy who looks like he just got out of college called Max or something, so unprofessional as well. Very disappointed.

Great BJJ coach for both adults and children. Really takes the time to go over each move several times to ensure everyone is understanding. Several different Kick boxing coaches providing a wide variety of practice styles.

I’ve been training Brazilian Jiu Jitsu here for about 3 years and you couldn’t ask for a better program. Coach Nick Berens is extremely knowledgeable in the grappling arts and is a great teacher. The atmosphere is relaxed and anyone can feel comfortable here. Whether you’ve been training for years or it’s your first time stepping into the gym - you’ll feel welcome. If you’re looking to be a first-rate competitor, break into amateur fighting, trying to learn some practical self defense that works, or just want a fun way to exercise, this is the place to do it.

I've been doing martial arts here for the last 8-9 years.The instructors are excellent and the whole team really knows how to make everyone feel comfortable and welcome. It's a laid back environment so anyone and everyone can come as they are. The kids program is fantastic and gives the kids a good base for self defense and discipline. Everyone MUST give this place a shot!!!

Great Jiu Jitsu and Muy Thai classes. My son started at eleven years old and three years later he still loves coming to classes. The instructors spend one on one time with each student and really help them to meet their potential. The classes will also attend tournaments as a team, which my son really enjoys. As an added bonus, my son’s confidence has improved tremendously. My son recently moved to the adult classes and he continues to improve and enjoy the training. I strongly recommend this gym for anyone of any age.
