    The kickboxing class here is insane. Skye Folsom not only whooped my butt, he taught how to protect it, and whoop yours.

    Came to Garth Taylor BJJ for an open mat. Owner and training partners were super friendly. Good rolls and relaxed atmosphere. Would definitely recommend to check it out if you’re in the area.

    My partner has been training here for a while, and I understand now why she loves it so much!

    I took my first jiu-jitsu class here with Chris Lang and had an absolute blast. We did some warm-up exercises and then practiced double-leg takedowns, which were something I've had done to me, but never learned to do myself. Now I feel like I have a solid understanding of the principle, and I'm excited to practice more.

    Everyone was friendly, the atmosphere was great, and several students (Kyle, and I think Kalen) took time during open sparring to work with me on some fundamentals.

    I get a really good vibe from this place, with none of the toxic competitiveness...read full review
