I can't say enough good things about this gym. I've attended a number of BJJ schools over the years, and X2 stands out. The school has fantastic instructors that have helped me get a deeper understanding of BJJ in a relatively short time.

The team is welcoming and collaborative. As a recent transplant to Minnesota, I feel lucky to have found this community and would highly recommend the gym.
