He explained each technique and the concept behind the movements very well. Clean gym, super welcoming environment, and a great workout. Students were friendly and fun to roll with at the end of class. I got a great first impression from this gym and I hope to visit again soon!

I only get to visit once in a while when traveling to Bend. But this place is top notch! The guys I…read morerolled with during Jui Jitsu class are humble and technical; a true sign of a good school. The professor is also always very welcoming. If/when I move to bend I'll for sure call this place home. Facility is clean as well. I've seen their students in tournaments and they always preform well. Great school and great people. Go train!

The best decision we have ever made! I had one child interested in doing some form of martial arts…read more I called around many studios and HDMA was the first (and only) to call back. We stopped by to do a free trial class and my son was hooked! Now, a year and a half later, we have 4 children and my husband all doing Taekwondo. Best family studio as Master Graff truly knows the meaning of family. I'm so happy about being here. Just sad we didn't do this sooner.

I was very lucky to train here for a week while I was in town for a conference…read more Although I haven't been training jiu jitsu for very long (about 18 months), I have been to about 15 different gyms and schools. I'm also a teacher, and between my training time and my profession, feel qualified to say that Professor Asche's teaching is of excellent quality. First, he explains things in a way that makes them easy to understand. I noticed that everyone in his classes have a strong BJJ vocabulary, which means they've been understanding the theory *and* the techniques. Second, the class atmosphere is extremely respectful and kind. While BJJ is a combat sport, it can be taught in a way that is fun and provides a safe learning environment. Professor Asche's classes achieve this balance wonderfully. Third, the classes are well-structured. There's a skill-specific warm-up that has nothing superfluous (like random ab exercises). Each movement is an actual grappling movement and gets you ready for class. After, there's instruction, drilling, instruction, drilling, and then positional sparring where you get to practice the moves of the day in a controlled manner. After positional sparring, there's open sparring. It follows the teaching principle of 'gradual release of responsibility' or 'I do, we do, you do' which appeals to me as an educator. Fourth, the facilities are great. There are changing rooms, loaner gis, and Professor Asche has very good sanitary practices, which are important in grappling sports to prevent the spread of skin infections. It's probably the cleanest gym I've visited between the mat wipedowns after every session and the feet sanitizing tub. Finally, Professor Asche himself is very kind. I felt very welcomed, and hope to come back soon. I can't say enough nice things about the people or the training. If you live in the area, train here. TL;DR - great training with a great professor in a great facility. Train here, now.
