    We’ve been sending our daughter to 3 Embers Grappling Academy for over 6 months now, and we are extremely happy with our experience.
    A big thank you to Coach Justin and the entire team for their dedication and outstanding coaching. The techniques they teach go beyond just grappling—they’re valuable life lessons that our daughter will carry with her for years to come.
    What truly stands out is the way the coaches connect with the kids. The clarity, patience, and structure in their teaching are clearly reflected in how well the children understand and apply the techniques. It’s amazing to see the growth in both skill and confidence.
    We’re incredibly grateful to be part of such a positive and supportive environment. Highly recommend to any parent looking for a place where their child can learn, grow, and thrive!

    I have been doing Jiu Jitsu here for a few years now, and had have the pleasure of training in the kid's class and in the adults class, and have loved ever class from start to finish. The coaches give you real, practical training, and you can tell they do it out of love for the sport and want to see their students excel. It is a fun but serious environment, welcoming to anyone regardless of physical status/impediments or age (or lack thereof). Fantastic community.

    This is a very high level and respectable BJJ academy. Their team and staff are very knowledgeable and respectful. I found zero judgments or egos only people eager to learn and to assist with learning the gentle art. Great music great vibe and all the respect. OSS

    My daughter has been attending here for a while now and we absolutely love it. She wasn’t sure about the sport at all at first but thanks to the other kids and coach Justin she has grown to enjoy coming and learning new things. We tried other gyms before that were more commercial and aside from being more expensive for less instruction time they seemed to let the kids goof off. Here you can feel the emphasis of discipline and respect while keeping a fun and competitive environment. Highly recommend giving 3 Embers a shot
