I have been training Brazilian Jiu Jitsu at Tekniques for about 6 months now. The gym is very, very…read moredifferent than most Jiu Jitsu training facilities you will come across. The first thing I noticed when I visited was the sheer size of the place. The Jiu Jitsu area is downright gigantic! Other BJJ gyms I have visited are lucky to have 1/4 the mat space of Tekniques. The BJJ area is stocked with high quality Zebra tatmi mats, has comfortable seating, and is separated from the rest of the gym. This allows for a quiet, focused learning environment during BJJ training. The other portion of the gym contains a large tatami mat area for what Tekniques calls HIT (High Intensity Training). This class is similar to crossfit but without the hype. This area also contains a sizable Muay Thai kickboxing training area with heavy bags and appropriate mats. Other amenities include clean restrooms/changing areas and a kids' play room with a TV. Instruction at Tekniques is top notch. The adult BJJ classes are large enough to be diverse but small enough so that each person gets individual time with the instructors. Belt diversity is good - I am a white belt and am able to roll with white, blue, and purple belt practitioners every time I train. The more advanced students are more than willing to pause, answer questions, and take time to make sure you are learning the art. There are opportunities for competition, and the instructors assist students in preparing for numerous Jiu Jitsu tournaments in the area. I have a 6 year old son in the kids' BJJ program. I couldn't be more pleased. There are a LOT of kids training at Tekniques, but never so many that it's out of control. There is an appropriate student to instructor ratio. Perhaps most important (and impressive) is the care given to the safety of the students. For example, whenever the kids are training live submissions such as arm bars, the instructors are within 6 inches of the students, ready to pounce and intervene so that the student being submitted is not injured. I am very comfortable with the level of attention and safety given to my child and the other children who train there. The kids also compete in local tournaments and IBJJF sanctioned tournaments with great success. Muay Thai and HIT training is intense. The instructor is encouraging, careful, and drives the students hard. He takes time to explain the movements and exercises and will work individually with students who are having troubles. He instills a sense of teamwork, competition, and comradery in his students. Coupled with the Jiu Jitsu training, the Muay Thai and HIT classes will whip you into shape in a hurry. If you are nearby and are looking for a fun, inviting atmosphere in which to train Jiu Jitsu, HIT, or Muay Thai, then Tekniques is the place. I can't speak highly enough of the staff, my fellow students, and the environment.

Nice environment with great people. It was made easy for my first visit, but also challenging.read more

This place is such a great school! Sensei Lauren is the best and truly understands children with…read more"Different Abilities" Love this school!!

I have been considering enrolling my 9 year old for a while now and even dropped by for information…read morea few months ago. There was a young lady with multi colored hair at the entrance but she was too busy on her phone to acknowledge my husband and I so we left. I have since been on the fence not only because of our encounter but because of some concerning things I have heard from multiple people regarding what has been described as "childish drama" with the employees as well as told that if our family were to register "There would be certain things we would have to overlook" because the pros of the training out weigh the negative aspects of some of the people that work there. I don't base my opinions or decisions on hearsay and like to see things for myself and was willing to give this martial arts school another try (despite my off putting first impression.) I believe everyone deserves a second chance and what is a problem for one person doesn't mean it will be for another. That being said, I was leaving Pizza Hut last night (6/26) and witnessed the woman that I remembered seeing the day my husband and I came in accosting a black woman outside of the school. The employee was screaming at her, the woman was screaming back and all I heard were words like "pedophile" and other insults. It seemed like it was something personal and there were no children present but the behavior of the employee was abhorrent and as a result I absolutely will never consider this establishment an option for my family. It is my hope that whatever took place is resolved and because this is the second time I have witnessed this young lady acting in such a disrespectful and unprofessional way, management takes a good hard look at how their establishment is being represented to those of us in the community.
