Spent a year at the gym…read moreand gained a lot of jiu jitsu skills but most importantly I gained friends that felt more like family. I would highly recommend this gym to anybody new to martial arts that might be nervous to start and join a gym. Everybody in the gym is down to earth, helpful and welcoming. Every class is filled with great knowledge and competitive sparring if you're looking to compete, but everybody will take it slow and "flow roll" if you're looking to work on technique. Would recommend this gym not only for the atmosphere but size. There is always enough space and Professor Rich is able to give everybody individual attention if needed. I would have stayed at this gym for a much longer time if I didn't move for work but will always go back and I consider Professor Rich and the team my home team and close friends.
