Outstanding program, they have some thing for everyone. Jam packed schedule with morning, afternoon, and night classes for both Jiujitsu and striking. Facility is new, and I love the kids area where kids can play arcade games or with toys while adults can train. Feels like a unified team and a second home more than it does a jujitsu academy, definitely recommend for hobbyists, competitors, and families alike. Great family atmosphere but also you will get in shape and grow as a person coming here.
My son has been coming here for almost 2 years. I was nervous about where to start my son being that he was very timid and really not into any aggressive sports or Marital arts. I’m glad I chose Academy because the beginner kids class is GREAT to introduce jiu jitsu for kids and teach them the fundamentals. Not too long after he made it to the advanced class and now he’s competing winning medals more and confident than ever. Coaches are all great. No complaints.
I can't say enough good things about Academy Jiu-Jitsu/Kickboxing! It's a truly family-friendly place where both kids and adults can learn and grow together. The professors are not only skilled but also incredibly patient and encouraging. The multiple classes and locations make it easy to find a schedule that fits, and the safe environment they provide is top-notch. Plus, the sense of community here is amazing. Highly recommend!
My 3 kids attend Academy and have been for the past 4 years(respectively). The boost in confidence has been amazing, and their physical health has greatly improvement. The coaches are amazing, they really have a passion for working with kids and the love for the art of Jiu-jitsu and the hard work it takes is so apparent my kids have also shown that passion in wanting to learn. This is a great investment in my kids, they are benefitting now and I know it will be even better in the future.
My kids have been in Jiu-Jitsu off and on for 6 years now. The progress I have seen in the 3 months we have been here is amazing. The classes are challenging yet safe. My child's confidence has increased exponentially (to a fault) because of how secure he feels in learning the material here. The staff is fantastic. They're friendly, helpful, professional individuals and I am excited for my kids to grow in this academy.
My son has been going to the Academy for 5 years and he loves it! It's always been clean and well kept. The coaches do an amazing job with coaching my son and other kids, especially when they are new, and make it fun for them to learn and want to keep coming back. The always stay vigilant with them when they spar to make sure they are applying their techniques and making sure they stay safe. They always accompany the kids when they go participate at the tournaments so they never feel alone. Overall it's an amazing facility and the staff is fantastic!
