This school changed my life. I was in a really dark place last year. I wasn't living, I was just…read moreexisting and wondering why. I was following the path of least resistance, content with comfort. I don't think God wants us to be comfortable. Jesus certainly didn't live comfortably. This image doesn't show my spiritual growth but does provide a glimpse into it. I have a long way to go spiritually, but pushing myself physically has transferred into a stronger faith in Christ, serving my wife, kids and church. AKA, not being a lazy punk. I was barley making it through the day with two or three energy drinks before. I now have more sustained energy and focus with no energy drinks now. It was hard to talk my wife into jiu-jitsu because of the cost, but I knew I needed a competitive atmosphere. This before picture was taken right before I signed up. I have since augmented my training with weights and running

This place resides in a quiet area, has clean restrooms, onsite vending machine, tiny parking lot,…read moreand a huge floor matt. The gal that does the registration can't seem to explain why the registration, down payment, are ridiculously high, so you are left pondering why are you going to invest over 2000k in a contract two day 40min training camp whose head coach by the name Story can't even introduce himself? The head coach left a single purple belt student alone with 15 kids- most who were there for the very first time- so the whole free trial became a huge WTF experience. My kid kept being tossed by another experience kid, so naturally, he was a human throwing bag. I ended enrolling my kids at Gracie's Barra by Wilshire, 1000 time's better than this place and cheaper.

Stay away from this gym and all the tournaments that they host…read more They hosted a terrible tournament that turned out to be a huge money grab. They have another tournament in Oct, but do not go especially if you are a women. Not only were there not enough women competitors, but I didn't have anyone in my division and they still refused to refund me. The same thing happened to another girl who was in a weight class below me. They simply forgot about her until she reminded them that she would like to participate in a different division. A lot of guys got robbed of their matches too. Some waited for hours only to have 1 match! What was even more tacky is that they had to pull out their own "referees" to help participate in those competition because there wasn't enough people. The owner, Chris Story, (can't believe someone like him is a black belt with his personality) was extremely condescending when I flat out said that I don't want to negotiate, I just want my refund. He offered credit, but honestly, hell no. We won't be back. Terrible facility: in the middle of PO'DUNK USA (nowhere), no A/C, no water fountain, no on-site medical supplies They do not honor their own rules: - Some people had to weigh in with gi's on and some people didn't - They did not have double elimination. Some people had it, and others only had 1 match. They guaranteed double elimination but half the people in my academy got short changed and only 1 match Something has to be said about a business who is so short sighted and not willing to refund customers. All they want is your money, but I hope their brand and reputation will eventually catch up with them. I know many of us won't be returning to compete at his shitty tournaments.
