I was immediately impressed with how incredibly clean and well-maintained the facility is--it was clear to me that the owners and coaches take pride in providing a safe and professional training environment. After training there for 2 years now both personally and with my two daughters (7 and 10) I can attest to the fact that the instruction for both adults and kids is world-class. Jeremiah, Dave, Joel, and Julian are highly skilled black belts and have very different approaches to the art of Jiu Jitsu. Refuge has fantastic No Gi coaches as well and I can't say enough good things about Dan, Nick and Gabe. Every instructor at the academy brings a deep level of knowledge to every class, breaking down techniques in a way that's both accessible and effective for all experience levels. Whether you're brand new or more advanced, you'll feel challenged and supported. What really sets this place apart, though, is the atmosphere. It has a genuine, welcoming, family feel where everyone encourages each other to improve. The coaches are patient, disciplined, and genuinely invested in each student's growth--not just as athletes, but as people. If you're looking for a place with elite instruction, a positive community, and a clean, professional environment, this is the place for you and your family.

He changed their lives forever! Gary built their confidence in only a few months and helped them lay a strong foundation of confidence. Unfortunately we moved away, but he planted a seed in them both that helped them blossom in the years following. Fast forward years later, they have been very competitive athletes with discipline and excellent work ethic undoubtedly sparked by martial arts! We no longer live in EDH but frequently still talk about Gary and his team, and how they changed our boys lives! The boys are now teenagers and working towards their black belt in their martial arts center, while also competing in high-level club and school sports. We will forever be grateful to Gary for his patience, persistence, genuine dedication, and loving rigor he bestowed upon our boys when they were young. It's a gift that has made them who they are today!
