Great team, very friendly, welcomed me in for a free session when I was visiting on holiday. Thanks to all the boys for letting me join in and get a great workout!
This journey, if you choose to take it, is a life changing one.For me, getting into the Intermediate class is when I really got the high of jiu-jitsu, becuase thats where essentially all sparring happens and you really start getting in touch with the art, the people, and the work. Really loved it but I got a concussion during a very intense standing spar (not very common in this sport). Being a grad student, this was really bad, but Phil and the team listened to what happened and helped me out.
Great jiu jitsu gym, instructors are all knowledgeable and seasoned. Great kids program, can’t say enough good things about this gym.
