Alex is a great coach and the people here are awesome! Come try the trial if you are considering BJJ to see if you like it.
I’ll be honest, I was pretty hesitant to try something so new and different but I’m so glad that I did! My husband and I love it here! Our coaches are awesome and are great at teaching us new skills to use on the mat but still prepare us for self defense out in the real world. As a woman, I really do appreciate the strength and knowledge that I have learned from training here. Something that I didn’t expect to come out of this is community and friendship. I have made some great friends here and I’m very thankful to have people inside and outside of the gym to spend time with. If you want a phenomenal community and some great BJJ skills- this is def the place for you!!
Couldn’t ask for a better introduction to the sport of BJJ. Coach Alex does a nice job of explaining fundamentals for white belts, while supplementing that with more advanced techniques for blue belts.
With anything in life a healthy balance is essential. Journey Brazilian Jiujitsu is the embodiment of this. Good classes. Top notch instructions. A safe, sanitary environment. One of the most important steps anyone can take on the road to taking ownership of their future.
Trying Jiu jitsu was probably one of the best decisions I've ever made. Excellent environment, clean facility, and incredible coaches who are passionate about the art of Jiu Jitsu. Alex, Bill, and Coleman are warm and welcoming providing tons of knowledge, engaging classes and are patient helping you learn necessary techniques that will grow you mentally and physically. Happy to be apart of the journey family. Would highly recommend.
