It was a great open mat, I wish I was able to stay longer. Everyone was friendly and welcoming, the level of Jiu jitsu is very high at this academy. Got beat up a bunch and enjoyed the learning experiences. Thank you to Michael for beating me up but also taking the time to teach me as well - inside camping lesson both during the round and after. There aren't many academies that have a master walking around and mingling with their students. I was so lucky to be able to talk with master Machado and take a pic with him. He is a true legend and is such an ambassador as a master of Jiu jitsu. Thank you for the hospitality and rolls!

Super knowledgeable instructor, incredibly friendly school!…read more Dropped in today since I was in town for work. Nathan let me borrow a gi and welcomed me on the mat, no questions asked. What I like about his teaching style is that he will teach positionally, i.e. he will go over the options from a given position, and then transition into letting students get a feel for what option is "correct." This is perhaps the best way for students to develop a good game and is surprisingly rare to see in a lot of schools. I recommend training at Sloth BJJ for anyone in the area! Friendly vibes and no intimidating egos here!

I've been coming here for over 6 months now, and am very happy with the changes and improvements I have seen. George is an excellent, patient and extremely knowledgeable coach. Most students are NOT looking to go into competition, most of us are looking to get into shape, develop a good foundation and can take care of ourselves in a pinch. However, there are several students that actually compete (and mostly all WIN). I joined this gym because NO ONE (including myself) could imagine going to a boxing / mma gym and train...... Here I am.... 6 months later and not only feel better, but amazed with my growth...

It's a family atmosphere where everyone takes care of each other. There's competitors, people who train to be fit and people who just train for fun. I like how everyone is encouraged to have their own style of Jiujitsu rather than be a copy cat of our teachers. We're lucky to be a Jean Jaques Machado affiliate. Jean Jaques comes to our academy and we're welcome down at his headquarters when we visit. I started off as a blue belt here and am currently a purple at our academy. It's definetly one of the best decisions I've made in my Jiujitsu journey.
