As far as gyms go the place is clean and well kept.
The training is hard for people who want a competitive game and accessible for people new to martial arts.

Jonathon LeRose

My whole family goes here: myself, wife and 5 & 7 year old daughters. It is a safe and welcoming atmosphere for beginners and we are happy to be a part of this school. It has become an integral part of my children's lives especially. I look forward to watching them mature with Dave, a truly positive role model/coach.

Robert Pulkys

I've been training with Dave for a couple of years now and love it. There's a great atmosphere in the gym, very welcoming and Dave has always helped each individual with their strengths and weaknesses.
Looking forward to the rest of this journey in BJJ!
