For people that train: I was looking for a gym to train at while in town, and thanks to people on…read moreyelp and other review sites this was on my short list. I am immensely grateful to Professor Bryan for a great class at a wonderful school. When arriving staff and students were warm and welcoming, everyone wanted to get to know me and had questions about my BJJ journey and my home school. I took a fundamentals class as well as the intermediate class that was just after. I was able to identify some short comings on my game thanks to my training partners and the instructors. I hope business brings me back to St Louis soon so I get a chance to train again at this wonderful school! For people that don't train, but want to: great school, great people, fantastic culture. You will learn Jiu Jitsu, It will be fun, and you will make friends!

Got to visit for Los Angeles. What a great experience. Whether you're visiting or a local trying to…read morefigure out if this gym is for you, here are some take aways. 1. First off, Professor Kyle is great. He was very friendly and welcoming. He introduced me around to a lot of the guys and game me a tour of the gym. You can see what type of vibe a gym has by seeing how the students relate to him during class. Here, you can tell they respect Kyle Watson, but are also friendly with Kyle and there's plenty of friendly banter. Kyle is very attentive throughout the entire class and the class is put together with a lot of thoughtfulness. Kyle is attentive the entire time and super helpful in giving instruction and tips. 2. The vibe of the gym is great. Here, you'll find competitor and hobbyists. Everyone was very kind and skilled. No one is off to take off your head and you can tell there are some skilled people on the matts that can turn it on (if they wanted). Great number of training partners. I can see guys getting good here pretty quickly. And if I lived around here, this would be the gym I would pick. Chill vibe but people here work hard. 3. Facilities. This place is HUGE. Upstairs and downstairs mat space. Mens and women's lockers. Showers. Plenty of space to put your gym bag. The place is CLEAN throughout. 4. Schedule. An underestimated aspect of someone choosing a gym is the schedule. Bottom line, if there aren't a lot of options, you're more likely to stop training. Here, there are a ton of options for advance, beginning, go and no gi. Bottom line, give this place a shot. You will not be disappointed.
