What people are saying

I just want to let you know how much I’m enjoying classes. I’ve been trying to get back into martial arts for over 10 years, but new schools and styles of Martials arts never felt right or motivated me. I never found the right fit. 

 

But, I’m loving your school and finally found that spark again to train. I look forward to each class and come home excited for the next one. 

 

-Blair T.

I hold Jiu-jitsu and Derek Bindner responsible for putting me on a better path in life that I am still on today. It is not only a great workout, it teaches you that when the going get’s tough and your brain is screaming at you to stop, you really can push past that and actually learn to enjoy or embrace the challenge at hand. I feel that has translated into not only me being in the best physical shape of my life, at 42 years old, I also feel I can make better decisions as a business owner and more importantly, a father. I now crave taking on new physical and mental challenges and conquering them… and then of course passing on that knowledge and mindset to my children, and others, and leading them by example.

I joined in March of 2017 and kept going for a year or more. I was not in shape… I was never an athlete and didn’t play sports at any point in my life… I didn’t know what to expect… but it was a truly life altering decision to attend that first class, and I’m very thankful I did.
