My husband had been wanting to try jiu jitsu for years. He researched places around and decided on…read more413. Six months later- he's down 45lbs and loving it! The thought of starting BJJ overweight and with no cardio seemed very intimidating. Picking the right gym was essential. What sets 413 apart is Pedro Rocha. He's a world class fighter with many titles, belts, awards etc. Super impressive dude and worth a google! Once the hubs tried the free intro class- he was hooked! Pedro and the other professors made him feel comfortable. They were all patient, classmates were eager to help and everyone was understanding. The gym is the perfect size. Classes are not too big and not too small so you get plenty of coaching. Treatment at 413 is a testament to Pedro. When you join 413 you join a family. Everyone helps everyone. You can trust that you are not going to get hurt. You can ease into it at your own pace. There is no pressure to compete but if you choose to- you could not ask for a better coach. I have attended one of their free women's self defense classes. It was awesome and a lot of fun!!! !!!ALSO SHOULD PROBABLY WARN YOU!!! Your loved one WILL talk/ watch/eat/breathe/dream/obsess all things jiu jitsu. Don't fight it. Just go with it. it's only a matter of time before you're drinking the jiu jitsu koolaid too.

The students (men/women) are all genuinely good people who are there to learn and help each other. 413 is a well organized business and always clean. Stephane (Pedro's wife) is also an integral part of the gym's operations, which makes this a local, family owned business. Make no mistake, there are some tough, and skilled, people training at 413...so, you will be challenged. I couldn't be happier with my decision to learn and train at 413!

Juan is an excellent instructor and very observant of the class. Learned some great technique and got to train the last half of class. The students there are also very cool and welcoming. If you are looking to get started in BJJ, looking for a new place or (as in my case) in town wanting to train, come check out Peak Performance Watauga out. As I said before Juan is a great instructor and a cool guy. I really hope I get to stop back in on this trip, if not, I will definitely come back when I am in town again. Thanks again Peak Performance Watauga and Juan for the welcoming and great experience!!

Stopped by the mats with my daughter while we were on vacation, not knowing what to expect. We were…read morepleasantly surprised. The facility is well-lit and exceptionally clean. I had no reservations about stepping onto the mat. The coaches were outstanding. They made us feel welcome and helped us sharpen our skills. Coach Oscar taught my daughter's class and provided excellent instruction. He made sure she understood the techniques being taught and maintained a safe learning environment. Coach Cardo taught the adult class. He asked what I had been working on at my home gym (open guard) and then tailored the class around drilling those concepts. After I attempted an armbar, he gave me some great pointers on nuances I had missed. He even had me grab my phone so I could record him demonstrating the technique for future reference. Overall, it was a great experience. When I'm back in the area, I'll definitely train here again.

I have been reluctant to try BJJ but I am so glad that I trained at the Mats. As a former athlete,…read morebut new to Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, I knew that I wanted a coach that would tailor to my needs. I felt respected, challenged (both mentally and physically) and I learned a lot! Many academy's are dark, stinky and ugly... not The Mats! The facilities are absolutely amazing and coach Cardo did a great job of explaining the sport. For me, it made such a difference to train with a BJJ coach who has knowledge of the biomechanics of the body and an amazing teaching style. I would recommend this gym to anyone who is looking for a better training environment, wants to train hard and get good!

It's a family atmosphere where everyone takes care of each other. There's competitors, people who train to be fit and people who just train for fun. I like how everyone is encouraged to have their own style of Jiujitsu rather than be a copy cat of our teachers. We're lucky to be a Jean Jaques Machado affiliate. Jean Jaques comes to our academy and we're welcome down at his headquarters when we visit. I started off as a blue belt here and am currently a purple at our academy.
