I've been going to IMA for about 8 months on a weekly basis and love it. There are many reasons…read morewhy, but I'll point to the three most important ones: 1. BJJ can be a daunting and intimidating sport to do in the beginning. Luis and the team are completely disarming when it comes to the intimidating factor. I felt welcomed immediately by everyone. It is a friendly, family-oriented school. It's like being a part of a great community. 2. Luis is an awesome coach. He is always present during the technique periods of the class. He always gives quick and effective feedback that you can apply immediately. Luis and the coaches have infinite patience when it comes to completely understanding a move. They will keep working with you over and over until you get it - and not move on if you don't. 3. We always work very hard but have a great time. Jiu-jitsu is an intense sport that people can take very seriously, which I can understand. When we roll, we always have a great time. Every class I work hard, but always get a laugh in somewhere. Everyone always has a smile. That is hard to beat. Thank you to the IMA team for creating a great atmosphere!

However, I was in a car accident a month and a half after I paid for a full year up front. My doctor and physical therapist both told me that I will not be able to return due to my injuries. I emailed the owner and explained the situation, hoping she would prorate the difference on my account. I never heard back and when I approached the staff about it they went from being super nice to beyond rude. One of them even said "You're walking..seems like you're ok to me". Don't ever go here..
