Great jiu-jitsu gym for beginners and hobbyists all the way to well trained individuals. A welcoming atmosphere, great Instructors. Perfect place to learn and enjoy jiu-jitsu. Highly recommend.
My son is absolutely loving Jiu-Jitsu so far! Professor Jared is phenomenal with children—he’s calm, patient, and you can see how naturally the kids mirror that same behavior. It’s clear he truly enjoys what he does. The older youth who help with the younger kids’ classes are amazing as well; they’re so kind and attentive with the kiddos. Jared is also always quick to get back to us with any questions or concerns, which we really appreciate. My son asks me every single day if we’re going—there’s no better sign than that!
Soma is an amazing experience. Learning Jiu-jitsu in a safe environment where you're taught proper techniques goes a very long way. Builds confidence and gives you one of the most humbling experiences possible. Highly recommended if you're looking to learn to defend yourself.
