The instructors are very friendly and helpful as well as the students of the academy. Even if you aren't looking for self defense, maybe you just want a way to stay active, I highly recommend stopping by.

I was attending this gym for a solid year and a half for kickboxing and even tried doing jiu jitsu…read more I don't recommend this gym to anyone. If you aren't dedicated to this gym only your risk being thrown out and told to never return. The owner is someone who made doing jiu jitsu a hobby into something more. His teaching lacks depth and knowledge and for the price being charged it isn't worth it. I wish I had better things to say as I really looked forward to coming to this gym and participating in kickboxing, but since kickboxing was abruptly shutdown and is no longer being offered I'm gladly taking my money elsewhere to support a female run gym.

Classes ended abruptly and without warning. We had class the night before and was told at seven AM…read morethe next morning they were closed permanently. Had to ask for my refund rather than automatically refunded for the inconvenience. Incredibly unprofessional. If you want to train here, just know you will be looked down upon if you want to train anywhere else even if you want a well rounded jits and fitness knowledge. This is not a place of support for students or instructors. I would consider many other locally owned gyms before I ever even think about taking another class here. Won't be back.

He was so nervous to begin, and to learn in front of others, but promised to try it out. By the end of class, he was beyond excited to come back tomorrow and is looking forward to future instruction. To witness that kind of change in your child in such a short amount of time is priceless. I am so grateful to have found a school that has such amazing instructors, who genuinely love teaching. I can already tell Kroyler Gracie BJJ is going to have a profound impact on my son and family as a whole.

So my son is a beginner and they were made aware of this and said he could join in with the rest of the students. He doesn't know the basics and they throw him in with all these tournament kids. The instructor showed the group how to do these advanced moves only once and he made the kids partner up to practice it. The kid that was partnered with my son was frustrated because he wasn't doing it right. My son was frustrated and upset because he didn't know exactly what to do. I don't blame the child, he's not a teacher. I blame the instructor. I watched all this happen and I was LIVID. Do not take your child here if they are not experienced. My son was dealing with confidence issues as is, and this made it worse. Thanks alot!

Whenever they notice a kid is struggling to be there, they give them lots of positive reinforcement. All the parents are wonderful and clap and cheer for all the kids to celebrate everyone's success. The kids are constantly encouraged to cheer each other on. A few months after my youngest started, I signed my older child up. She struggled with sticking up for herself and being too scared to use her voice. They've helped her find her voice and confidence. I loved what I saw in my kids so much, I joined the adult class myself! I've been going for coming up on a year and cannot say enough good things about what it's done for me. I did not start out in shape at all, I work a desk job. I feel better in all aspects of my life. It's more than just exercise. I love everyone who works here and my fellow students. If even the smallest part of you is interested for you or your child, I HIGHLY recommend it. They let you try classes to see if it's a good fit, but I promise you'll fall in love with it.
