In response to the negative review, that decision was made because on multiple occasions many of the parents in the waiting area smelled so strongly of marijuana. That in combination with around 30 children sweating made for a ripe atmosphere. Personally, I was appreciative of Mr. Zapata's stance on that issue.

Second, I learned things on the FIRST day that I could use in a self defense situation. The instructor is fun, knowledgeable and professional. He is someone I look forward to learning from. I'm definitely hooked! As a woman, you can never be too prepared or empowered. These classes give you both! I had such a great endorphin high afterward. Ill be a regular from here on out for SURE! The prices are beyond reasonable and you don't need to buy a bunch of stuff to get going. Bottom line: fitness, fun, self defense and something totally different from what you have been doing thus far. I can't recommend it highly enough!

If you are looking for a place to begin your Jiu Jitsu journey and receiving enthusiastic and passionate teaching from phenomenal Jiu Jitsu practitioners then please check out Mendes Jiu Jitsu.

Very impressed with this academy. They have exceeded my expectations. First impression and point of…read morecontact is Kellie. She is highly organized and so helpful. I appreciate that there is someone available to answer questions about new memberships/billing. Very professional. The kids class is massive and they have plenty of instructors on the mat to help. Instruction here is top notch. It's kind of expected that you'll get "thrown to the wolves" when you start jiu jitsu as there are really no "basics/beginner course"; you just immerse and catch up eventually (unless you pay extra for personals). I appreciate that they see when someone needs help and they provide it, instead of leaving you lost and floundering. As for adults class, everyone is friendly and respectful. There are no women's classes (that's fine) and males and females are mixed in class but they do a great job with the culture to ensure the women don't feel intimidated. The female black belt instructors do an amazing job at putting new female students at ease. Everyone is so nice and respectful and I have not had any negative experiences. More emphasis on self-defense aspect here, which I appreciate. Very realistic. But they'll also get you competition-ready if that's your goal too. I appreciate the structure, discipline, and higher expectation here. Quality team and families. Highly recommend!

Most of my experience at Grappletown is from sitting on the sidelines watching my 6yo son exerting…read moresome of his never ending energy. We tried a community wrestling team the year before and our son wanted nothing to do with it. Gave it a half season but eventually pulled him out because of his lack of interest. A few months back I was seeing FB adds for a free introductory session at Grappletown. We signed our son up and after his first visit, he was adamant about coming back for more. A few months in at 2 days a week and he's still full speed ahead enjoying every class. Coach Matt, Coach Kale, and others have been very patient with the kids as they all progress and focus at different levels. We like Grappletown so much that even I've decided to join in while exploring a newfound motivation to enter into a fitness journey. After a back injury has kept me from being as active as I've been most my life, I've finally healed up enough to explore these opportunities. The coaches at Grappletown assure me that I can go at my own speed in order to mitigate any chance of reinjury. Wish me luck and come check it out for yourself.
