I would encourage any parent to read my daughter's story (Mary D.) that she posted here. Our biggest mistake was believing that the owner ACTUALLY cared about his students...he does...if they're boys. Since her review is missing here is her story: One day, a 15 year old teenager came to the gym with his mother. He seemed nice enough but I and many others were aware that he was more than just a little creepy but he was given the benefit of the doubt, maybe it was a lack of social skills. I couldn't have been more wrong. This teenager's staring, following me around and even coming to training without dressing out to sit in the corner and watch me and the other women train which made me and others very uncomfortable. I didn't make a scene, I went to Nolan Dutcher and told him that l was uncomfortable and that this other student's behavior was creepy and escalating. Nothing was done to remediate the situation. I was left to "put up" with this student's behavior towards me. A few weeks later I caught the student standing over me on the mat, behind me, taking a picture of me on top of another female student, bent over, my legs spread. l confronted him then, loudly. When I asked him why he just took my picture he said, " None of my f***ing business," then he turned and walked away with my image on his cellphone. l was humiliated, embarrassed, and angry. I left early that night feeling violated and in tears. I and my parents spoke with Nolan about the incident. What we believed was the only way to handle a situation like this, simply put, ask that student to leave the gym and not return, was not what happened at all. Nolan's exact words were..."Well...boys will be boys." Out of embarrassment and having been caught red handed, the teenage student did not return for several weeks, but not because he was told by Nolan not to come back. To my shock and horror that student walked back into the gym a few weeks later and began "training" again. He quickly resorted to his old stalking behaviors, staring, watching, following, glaring, not dressing out and only sitting in the corner to stare at me while I trained. And no, it wasn't a crush...this is antisocial, creepy behavior...l knew it and my body knew it. I approached Nolan AGAIN and begged him to pay attention and again, nothing was done. I started to have panic attacks and anxiety about returning and I missed many training sessions. My dream of a life in jiu-jitsu in this gym was unraveling because of the inappropriate behavior of one student went unchecked. In fact, the attitude from Nolan that "Boys will be Boys" only served to empower the student's behaviors. Finally, we approached Nolan as a family and asked if it would be too much to allow me and my brother to train just 4 hours a week without the other student there, allowing the other student the rest of the week to train whenever he wanted. We were told no. I had to do the right thing. I left the gym, my brother left the gym, and my mother left the gym. What hurts most is reading posts from my friends and my training partners who either don't know the truth about this until now or do know and have turned their back on me. It crushes my heart. My brother and I volunteered much of our time at Dutcher, we cleaned mats, my father made repairs, we even helped expand the workout space. We gave up our ENTlRE summer and instantly stepped up when Nolan asked us to be coaches for the kids. Nolan bragged that we were the future of the gym. I was beginning to build my life around Dutcher with my brother. I will not and cannot understand to this day how Nolan as a professional and a businessman could allow a male student to prey on a female student like that. To take my picture...WHlCH HE STILL FREAKING HAS...without supporting me at all. Any other boss in any company, any time, anywhere would have fired an employee for behavior like this, at the very least to avoid being sued. My point is, is that this other student wasn't even an employee, he was just a paying student who could've been easily asked to not come back. Oh!....but maybe that's it...he was a "paying student" who paid ontime all the time, including very expensive seminars. Bottom line, I was not supported, I did not feel protected. At one point I told Nolan to his face that l was going to use the skills he gave me to get revenge on the student for what he had done and continued to do to me and Nolan begged me not to make a scene. Outrageous and unprofessional. Are you a mother or father reading this and you are considering bringing your daughter here to learn how to defend herself? This is not the place, nor is it a place for your son to learn that this type of behavior towards women is acceptable. #mystory #mytruth #justthefacts read more

A male student took a picture of my daughter (she was 15 at the time) bent over, legs spread in a jiu-jitsu move, when she asked him Why he would take a picture of her he responded, "None of your f'ing business." This student was given an excuse for his actions by the owner himself, "boys will be boys." He was protected while my daughter, the victim, was cast aside. In fact, he went to the police to file criminal harassment charges when she posted her story. That's right, a jiu jitsu professor went to the police over an honest internet review that was posted by his former student. Way to be a mentor. My daughter was a coach for the kid's class, spent her entire summer running his kid's summer camp, and brought home championship belts. If that's not enough to keep you away, my two kids got MRSA from this gym not once but twice (have the medical bills). My daughter and I were so worried about the staph outbreak that we spent 4 days on our hands and knees cleaning the mats with toothbrushes. My whole family has left that gym. read more

Don't waste your time or money. This guy only cares about himself. He uses people. He doesn't care about you he only cares about what you can do for him. He's definitely not the brightest bulb in the box... and his elevator doesn't go all the way to the top floor. If you run a gym you probably want to look like it---i.e. you don't want your body type to be obese. You don't want your daily workout to be lifting a donut to your lips. Drive across the river to MMA Collective it's worth it. They really take the time and care about you. read more

Gross...This place can go days without cleaning the mats. Don't trust me? No worries-Just make sure you check out a good dermatologist because you WILL most definitely get MRSA...or ring worm... EDIT: The owner is trying to get this post removed but I have PROOF..so he can try to keep playing or just go and clean his friggin mats instead of playing on social media. STAY CLEAR OF THIS PLACE read more
