  • "I dance ballet professionally and started jiu-jitsu as cross training. My ego was quite large as well as I think of myself pretty highly. This place gave me some much needed medicine in the form of humbling, discipline and overall fun. Brad and Jeff, the professors, are great and everyone there is great as well. They all want what’s best for you and it shows. If you want to learn jiu jitsu and have a good time, absolutely go here."
