I stopped in a bit early for the adult class and noticed that during the kids class the instructors were making a priority of devoting time to all the students individually which was amazing to see and sets the gym apart from others. During the adult class the coach encouraged questions and ensured everyone understood the instructed moves before moving on. If you're debating trying jiu jitsu, I would strongly encourage you to stop by for a trial and give this place a shot.

I was graced with amazing instructors Fred and Josh who taught great classes with strong focus on fundamentals and lots of takedowns. Loved the balance and pace of the classes. We focused on grip fighting, level changing, and movement just to start off the class. It then went into takedown practice, move of the day, drilling, and finally rolling. A lot of information packed into 1.5 hours of class. The community is great and everyone is here to learn and to sweat while helping each other improve. Would definitely come by again when I'm in town

I trained three years at fosters and had to quit due to a medical condition. A few years later, I decided I was able to train again and started looking at schools.
