My son trained at Enlisted Nine last night and this gym was amazing. We live 1.5 hours away but the…read moretrip was well worth it. We have traveled and trained at approx. 30-40 gyms over the years, Enlisted Nine tops the list. What we liked the best was that each technique was demonstrated and Colton showed what to do if you were doing it for points, self defense or combat basically giving three variations of each technique. No other school we have been to had an instructor break it down this way. So no matter why you were there learning BJJ you could use it for your discipline. The gym was clean and all the staff and students were friendly. The gym had a family feel but let me say they WORK. My son was whooped after class. Will definitely make Enlisted Nine our home. Tim

One of the…read morebest decisions that I have made as a parent is enrolling my children at Battlefield Jiu Jitsu two years ago. Coach Jason as well as his coaching staff are excellent at teaching school age children and challenging them to be their best. The class incorporates the right amount of structure, discipline, physical fitness, and fun. There is always a good number of coaches on the mats so that each child can receive additional personalized guidance. Students are evaluated individually and promoted accordingly you won't get an eleven-year black belt here everything is earned not given. In addition to the awesome training environment the coaches are amazing human beings. Battlefield Jiu Jitsu has fundraisers and donates to charitable causes. The annual Christmas party is something that all the students look forward to every year. Battlefield Jiu Jitsu personifies the essence of martial arts and it shows in the coaching staff all the way down to the lowest belt student. If you are considering enrolling yourself or your children in a martial arts program look no further......... get down here and talk to coach Jason and start your 30-day trial ASAP

It was with great trepidation that I approached Winchester Jiu Jitzu. Mind you, I had heard nothing…read morebut great things...but personally I hadn't trained hard in anything for several years and had never taken any martial art. I walked into my first class like a total creep mouse, scared to death that it would be full of high level practitioners with tons of ego who would scoff at my ineptitude. Yeah, it was literally nothing like that. From the moment I walked in, everyone there made me feel incredibly welcome. Yes, there are a ton of high level folks (along with newbies of course), but they are enthusiastic about sharing their knowledge with you. The instructors are fantastic teachers, as well as genuinely kind, encouraging people. I am now completely addicted and feel as if my week is not quite complete unless I've had at least three BJJ classes (preferably more) and two HMT classes. I've also dragged my son into it, and it's the first extra curricular activity in his life he's never complained about. Highly recommend this school.
