I was excited to check out something that was the same but different. Finding the place was a bit of a challenge, as the other reviewer said, its stashed away in a strip mall. Once I got in, the first thing that hit me was how well set up and organized it was. Very nice. I knew going in there were going to be differences and it was great to learn some tweaks to the techniques I'm familiar with. Everyone was super friendly and welcoming, I mean everyone, front desk person, students in the class, instructor all were super welcoming and very willing to share their knowledge. Wish I had stuck around for another night, and if I lived in the area I definitely would train here. It's clean, and i definitely would recommend it.

Just drop in and say hello! They are more than willing to give you information and get you set up.

I have been going to this class for about a month now and love it. I did my research beforehand as…read moreanyone looking for any instructor should. I confirmed the instructor's lineage. I researched JKD and JKD Concepts in order to understand how they relate. Sharam Teaches JKD Concepts which is JKD as Bruce Lee taught it and includes additions from arts that have evolved since Bruce's passing. That is the nature of JKD. So I went to the trial class and asked Sharam some questions I had. He answered them all with straightforward answers. Since starting the class I have learned a ton of new and effective moves. I thought that I had learned some good fighting techniques in the military but what I've learned here is on a whole different level. If you are looking for a straight forward, efficient, powerful, and highly effective fighting system than you should check this place out.

Coming back to jiujitsu after a few years off can be intimidating--but walking back into this gym…read morefelt like coming home. Coach Darrell genuinely cares about his students first and foremost. He's not just building fighters; he's building a community. The culture here is welcoming, friendly, and fun, and the atmosphere makes you want to keep showing up. The jiujitsu itself is world-class--solid instruction, thoughtful details, and techniques that work. But just as importantly, everyone here is great to roll with. No egos, just respectful, helpful training partners who want to see you improve. Whether you're brand new or returning after a break, this is the place where you'll be respected, challenged, and supported.

Whether you're a beginner or more advanced, you'll find a community that supports and challenges you in the best way. I learned so much during my time here, not just techniques and strategy, but also discipline, strength, and mental toughness. The training is high level, but it's delivered in a way that's approachable and encouraging for everyone. Coach Darrell, the owner and head coach, sets the tone for the entire gym. He's not only skilled and knowledgeable, but also graceful and respectful with both his team and new members. His leadership creates a positive and focused environment that makes you want to keep showing up and improving. If I had to pick a Jiu-Jitsu gym all over again, I would choose Like Minded Jiu Jitsu every single time. I'm grateful for everything I gained from training here ... on and off the mats.

This academy is not just a place to train it's a place where athletes are forged. Every competition I've entered, every win I've earned, and every lesson learned in loss has been shaped by the time, sweat, and intention poured into me by the coaching staff. Gustavo Dantas sets the standard. His attention to detail, pressure-tested techniques, and ability to see what an athlete needs before they see it themselves is elite. His leadership creates a culture where excellence is expected, not hoped for. Pro. Paul, Josh, Teague, and Jeff have each played a critical role in refining my game. From competition strategy, positional awareness, pressure management, and mental composure they consistently invested real time and energy into my growth. That level of coaching is rare. What separates this academy is that they don't just teach techniques they elevate competitors. They sharpen you, correct you, push you, and hold you to a higher standard because they genuinely care about your progress. I'm grateful for every round, every correction, every hard conversation, and every moment they chose to invest in me. The results show up on the mats, in competition, and in confidence. If you're serious about Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu whether as a competitor or someone seeking mastery this is the place. Respect. Gratitude. Loyalty.

To name a few programs: American Kenpo Karate, Kali, Hyper Pro, or Weapons training. My son has been in several programs that never once does he complain that he doesn't want to go to his class, he is urging us (Parents) on to go to class. I recently joined to learn self-defense and work on my positive self-image. Watching my son throughout the years develop from a shy child (not willing to step in front of the class to demonstrate a move) to a kid that is so eager to lead is amazing to me. The Baker family does a fantastic job teaching leadership skills that not only work on how to educate others but also teaches respect, having a positive self-image, being motived and so much more! I would & currently do encourage people to check this place out.

I am quite impressed with their level of patience and ability to organize every class as well. We tried their program using the promotion for 1 month. The program not only consisted of an entire month of classes but also a belt and the gee. The establishment was clean but very small. While the mat is the perfect size for the class, it does not have enough space for the parents to sit and the little space that is designated for the parents is far too close to the mat and the little kicks, punches, and loud yells. I loved the story time implemented into every class, and how active they are with the students and their families outside of class (they have weekly events that are fun, engaging, and creative!) **The only issues are as follows**: - The deposit when enrolling/signing up after the promo is $399.00. - The monthly fee is $199.00. - The classes are only 30 minutes each and I believe they can only go to two classes a week.. 1 hour of classes a week for $199.00 a month is not ideal. - Testing. The parents and the children were not made aware that they were testing for their "tip" until the day of. It would have been nice to have that information ahead of time so the child(ren) can be better prepared.
