I took my son to start Jiu Jitsu in this gym and I loved it. The coach's are super didactic and concerned about the integrity of the children. I liked it so much that at the age of 51 I started training too.

Been training here for over a year now and it's been great! Super chill environment, no egos, everyone is willing to help each other get better. I've visited a couple of other spots (10th planet, MMA gyms, etc) and honestly this place just feels like home. I started at 39 years old and this was the perfect environment for me to get started at this age. Coach Heverson is an excellent coach and takes his time to show you all the moves with patience. I would recommend this gym to anyone interested in starting their BJJ journey.
