Aug 2026 After 2…read moreyears at a different local BJJ studio, we made the decision to move to MHJJ. The decision was bittersweet, but easy for us. As my boys entered middle school, I wanted them to have the confidence to protect themselves and each other. And BIJ levels the playing field. Initially, Professor Andy introduced our family to BJJ. He trained with us, taught my kids life lessons and explained to them the importance of self respect and discipline. When Professor Andy moved to MHJJ, many of the students and parents followed him. BJJ was not only about winning on the mats, to Professor Andy...BJJ was also a way of winning in life. When life gets tough, there's always a way out and you can fight through times even when things seem impossible. With that philosophy, the decision to move to MHJJ with Professor Andy was simple. Did we leave behind friends from the other gym? Yes, but we found a new home here quickly. Facility: In Aug 2026, the school expanded and added an additional 16 sq ft of mat space. So there are two sections now....split between wrestling and BJJ classes or youth/comp kid classes. Mats are clean and plenty of sitting area for parents and spectators. Mats are also cleaned all the time! Bathrooms are super clean and the room is well lit. Front Desk: Julia is the nicest and sweetest person. She's always helpful and cheery. She got us squared away and signed up easily. Her whole family trains here too so it's not just a job for her, but a way of life. Professors: When we arrived, we were introduced to Professors Jaine Fragoso and Joao Nicolite (look them up). Both are multi-winning world champions in gi and no gi competitions . They come from the world renowned Caio Terra and 10th Planet BJJ schools. Here at MHJJ - you get all of their mastery and skill during the lessons. Collectively, they bring a whole new level of BJJ to this school. Not only are they master teachers, they are fun and compassionate with all the students. They take the time to get to know each student and their parents. This connection was something that was missing from our old BJJ school. You'll also meet the other owners, Professor Marcus and Matt. Both are super easy going, chill and making fun of each other....the way any sport, healthy gym and friends should be. Uniforms: There are none. You can wear any brand gi or no gi rashguards here (as long as they are not offensive). Our old BJJ school only allowed their logo...and those were $200/each for a single set of gi. We buy the $50 gis from Elite BJJ Sports and they are competition approved. Saving us a whopping $150 compared to our old school. MHJJ does have a nice custom competition gi, rash guards and apparel for everyday wear. They even support local businesses with home made jams and organic baked goods. Classes: MHJJ offers kids, adult and women's only classes. The classes range from recreational to competition preparation. Similar to other BJJ gyms, private lessons are also available. MHJJ also offers a wrestling program too. In summary, we are very happy here. Everyone is kind, encouraging and makes you feel like family. Whether this is recreational, self defense or competition, MHJJ offers it all. We are so happy we made the switch.

Without being too direct about another competitor, they will see you more as a source of revenue versus building you and/or your kids up. The owners here care and they have their own kids involved in the programs. Go check if the others do, which I'll tell you now they don't. Don't pay for a name. Pay for a team and a place that brings you up. Not a place that gives you little attention unless you're one of the best. Trust me, I've been at that place and MH JJ is another level. If you come in here and see half the kids with Gracie GUI's, it's because they left the toxic coaching and leadership over there.

It truly is like an extended family. I was hesitant on trying out BJJ in the beginning, but I attended a couple of No-Gi classes and became hooked. Shortly after joining, my 7 year old began training here as well, and absolutely loves it. If you're looking to get into fitness, explore a new sport/hobby, or want to learn self-defense (women especially), come in and try it out! They offer a free trial week of instruction. I promise you'll love it!

Today is Sunday, and the posted opening time is 8:00 a.m. I arrived at 8:35 a.m., and the doors were still locked with no staff present. This is very frustrating for members who expect the gym to open on time. Additionally, one of the younger employees at the front desk frequently smells strongly of marijuana, and the odor lingers throughout the gym. This creates an unprofessional atmosphere. Another ongoing concern is that several treadmills and leg machines have been out of service for over a month without being repaired. Paying members should have access to properly maintained equipment. Overall, the cleanliness and friendly staff are appreciated, but the unreliable opening times, lack of equipment maintenance, and unprofessional conduct make for a disappointing experience. I hope management addresses these issues, as they may be contributing to why the gym is often so empty.
