Instructors David is a very patient teacher and works well kids of various skill levels. From beginner to upper belts. Respect is highly emphasized. Respect for the instructors, for training partners, for teachers. For parents and for themselves. Very watchful over the class during base battles/sparing. Always encouraging the students, even the few times someone might get a little aggressive or angry. Respect is the key and discipline.
I dropped in while I was in town for work. David and everyone was very welcoming and the technique was very detailed. I had a great time and grateful for their hospitality. I’ll definitely be coming back here again the next time I’m in town and I recommend anyone else to check them out!
Visited Pensacola on a work trip and this gym was the closest one to my hotel. So glad I came, David is an awesome instructor! learned some cool details on back takes and various sweeps and subs from the position we worked on. Training partners were excellent and if I ever end up in Pensacola again, I will return to 9th Jiu Jitsu!
