    I'm writing this to inform other parents about our experience at Odin's Halls BJJ…read more My seven year old son trained there for four months. When we signed the 12-month contract, I specifically asked what would happen if he lost interest. At his age, that's always a possibility. We were told by one of the coaches that early cancellation would result in a one- to two-month penalty. Based on that representation, we signed. After four months, we decided to withdraw him because we were not satisfied with the quality of his training. When I informed the school and the owner, Steve, that we intended to cancel, I was told we would have to pay half of the remaining contract balance. That was not clearly stated in the agreement as we understood it, nor was it what we were told at enrollment. When I raised this discrepancy, Steve stated the coach had been "misinformed" and "misspoke." After I remained firm on canceling, communication stopped. That raised serious concerns about transparency and accountability. The more troubling issue happened later at a NAGA tournament. After leaving Odin's Hall, there was a break in my son's training while we searched for a new academy. He then joined Cobrinha and registered for the novice, no-submission division (white belt, six months and under training). At the tournament, we were informed that a coach from Odin's Hall contacted the organization claiming my son should be bumped up to the beginner division (with submissions) because he had trained over six months at their gym and had prior wrestling experience. This was inaccurate. * He trained at Odin's Hall for four months. * We had email documentation confirming the cancellation timeline. * There was a gap in training before he joined his new academy. * The brief wrestling class he attended was actually a requirement at Odin's Hall for their competition team -- and all of their students participate in wrestling. What shocked me most was the attempt to move a seven-year-old into a submission division when they knew they had never taught him submissions. This tournament division was specifically six months and under, novice, no-submission for safety reasons. Moving him up would have exposed him to techniques he had not been trained to defend against. As a parent, that is extremely concerning. Youth martial arts programs should prioritize child safety and development above rivalry or competitive positioning.

    Impressive program! The coaching was fantastic. Unfortunately, the price is beyond our budget, and…read moreparking was a challenge. I have a large vehicle, and maneuvering in and out would be extremely stressful for me.

    Last month I took a self-defense class sponsored by LVMPD at a different martial arts studio and I…read moreenjoyed it so much that I decided to sign up for another one. This self-defense class took place at 9th Isle BJJ (stands for Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu), which is close to North Las Vegas airport. I live in Henderson, so this martial arts studio was a bit of a drive from my house, but it was worth it! I was required to sign three different waiver forms that were emailed to me before participating. This place is in a complex that's mostly office space, but otherwise it's very easy to find off the main road. The inside is literally a warehouse, so while it was a little chilly when I first entered, I didn't feel chilly anymore once I started moving around. We were instructed by Professor Junebug (?), who owns 9th Isle BJJ with his wife. While I did have fun and got a nice workout in, at the same time it was a little difficult than the last self-defense class I went to, because most of the moves had so many steps to them and it was hard to process all of them at the same time. Three other instructors who worked there helped everyone guide us step by step and correct our moves if possible. Everybody there was very friendly and helpful and they all motivated me to continue taking self-defense classes in the future.

    9th Isle BJJ isn't just a martial arts academy--it's a family. Whether you're stepping in for…read morejiu-jitsu, kickboxing, or wrestling, you'll quickly realize you're joining a community that genuinely cares about your physical and mental well-being. This academy welcomes all ages and walks of life, offering a safe and supportive space for kids, teens, and adults alike. If your child needs a confidence boost, a sense of belonging, or even a little attitude adjustment, 9th Isle is the perfect place to grow. Their commitment goes beyond the mats--they actively support the local community. Just yesterday, all the coaches came together, rallying family and friends to participate in the KLUC 98.5 Toy Drive, showing that giving back is part of their core values. At 9th Isle BJJ, you're not just training--you're becoming part of something bigger. You and your family, will feel loved and welcomed. Go visit, feel the energy, and see what makes this place so special.
