There is a great thing going on at Arnold BJJ. Dropped in for a few classes while in town for a week. Kirk was very responsive when I emailed asking about dropping in. Mats are clean, everyone made me feel welcome, classes were very well run, rolls were hard, and there was a diverse group of teammates. Basically everything you want in a jiu jitsu academy. If I lived here I would train here. Whenever I'm in town this is where I will go.
I was recently invited to train here. The practitioners were friendly and provided good instructions. Kirk is amazing. We drilled things that benefited beginners such as myself and advanced students. Most of all the Dojo Cat was entertaining!
Kirk Huff has taken my daughter to an entirely different level of competition. This gym not only strives to make you a better athlete but a better person. It’s not about making money, it’s about jujitsu and taking you to the next level. It’s like a family. A family I’m proud to say my daughter is a part of!
