Jake and Chris have put together a very well thought out program. Physically the gym is very simple and clean and free of distractions, with mats upstairs and down as well as showers and some lifting equipment for strength and conditioning. They offer a great schedule with many options to train so that no matter how crazy your life is you can always find some quality mat time at least a couple times a week. They are very detail oriented and willingly share those details to make your technique crisp and effective, and go out of their way to coach their students during class. All the training partners are very respectful and great to roll with, no matter if it's their first days or if they've been around a long time.
