Been here for 4 years ever since I was 14 years old. Everyone is super friendly here and I’ve seen people who never compete and just go for a workout and that’s fine because the coaches don’t pressure people to compete unless they want too, but I have also seen some amazing competitors amongst the coaches and students. So unless you’re doing jiu jitsu to be #1 in the world, this place can accommodate everyone, competition based or hobby based. I help teach the kids program and it is the same way the coaches help them compete or do jiu jitsu as a hobby.
This is a terrific place to train! Everyone here is like family and they really care about each other’s success. The coaches and your training partners all care about helping to achieve your goals!
