We recently found the world of Jiu Jitsu & it has been a true blessing. My son had no interest in anything but hiding in his room and playing Xbox. I tried everything to get him interested in physical activity and making friends, but nothing worked. After a bad report card and a declining attitude, it was time for a change. I found this gym based on location but what we really discovered was a whole new group of awesome people. I can't thank these incredible teachers, Jeremy and Jamie, enough for their passion and care for the students, it is so special to watch. From day one, it was evident that they are not just teaching a sport; they are fostering a community. The dedication they have for Jiu Jitsu is infectious, and it creates an environment where the students feel inspired and motivated to give their best. On day one when my son had no idea what he was doing, they both made him feel welcome and comfortable without looking like the "new" kid who clearly didn't know the basics. The other kids were also quick to take my son as a partner and show him the ropes! What sets this gym apart is the way the teachers treat the kids. It's not just a class; it's a family. The instructors go above and beyond to create a sense of belonging and camaraderie among the students. The genuine care they show is heartwarming. It's clear that they view each child as more than just a studentthey treat them as if they were their own and they fight for each kid to reach their own best potential. Watching my son thrive in this class has made me so proud. He is discovering himself through Jiu Jitsu and the group of people he is learning to be responsible toward and respectful too. Grades have improved, he's lost some much needed Covid pounds and shaved 3 minutes off the mile at school since he started in August. Don't look anywhere else, if you read this whole review, you are in the right place already!
