I've been hooked ever since. The facility is clean and well-kept, the instructors are awesome and very patient, and the other members are great.

There are young and old, females and males and all different skill levels and they're all super humble and helpful. Highly recommend giving this place a try. You won't regret it!

I was able to work with people of all levels, each person imparting their wisdom, openly answering questions and teaching me new techniques. The classes also incorporate wresting, which I found incredibly useful. Professor Wacker, Dave, Dragon, AJ, Ray, and the rest of the team with whom I worked had a good gauge of my strengths and weaknesses straight out the gate, offering individualized advice that I felt translated to better retention and application of the skills being learned. I highly recommend Blackhole and can't wait to come back on my next vacation. It's a remarkable place with remarkable people.

The gym itself is a great size, always clean, and has a very flexible schedule to fit anyone's lifestyle. It's also very reasonably priced. They offer "no pressure" free trials to anyone who may be considering Black Hole as their new BJJ home!

The instructor Matteo is a brown belt under Black Belt Jojo Guarin (Carlson Gracie lineage), and is a highly skilled athlete. Matteo's attention to detail on techniques are fantastic, and his lesson plans are thought out and executed over a week basis. The classes usually start with a conditioning warm-up/workout, followed by 2-3 techinques that are broken down, which you will do multiple timed repetitions on with a partner. Once class is over, the mats are open to spar/roll. The atmosphere is very friendly, and you're quick to become family there. I definitely recommend training here.

My first set of classes, I left already planning to maximize my time. Typically, in a new city, I try several different places before settling on one I like. I couldn't sign up fast enough, after my first evening workout. The Jiu Jitsu instruction is solid. Brian McLaughlin has a lot of knowledge to pass on, and his students benefit from his enthusiasm and desire to teach. The advanced class is before the lower level class, which is opposite of most places. Kids classes are also offered, and there are TVs in the sitting area to watch your kid and get yourself motivated to sign up for your own classes. Most boxing classes at other gyms are focused on just cardio or fitness bag work. Not so much here. You are going to get a solid boxing coach and training with drills to solidify what you learn. You will get the conditioning to go along with it. I'm not much for Muay Thai, but if you are in to that, I'm sure the training here is on par with everything else. Train here. You won't regret it!
