I have trained at Tri-State a few times when I was up in the area visting some friends. I like to get my training in and have to travel around a lot. They are about an hour away from me and affiliated with the gym I usually go to so they let me come in to train. I called ahead to ask. They didn't charge me and welcomed me with open arms as if I was one of their own. The instructors were knowledgeable, helpful and made sure I was getting everything good. He gave everyone individual attention and explained why we did some techniques this way or that way to help it make sense. This is helpful especially if you are having a hard time executing the technique (like me) in understanding what I was suppose to be doing. I highly recommend Tri-State. I only tried the grappling, but the other classes looked like they were being taught in the same way and all the students were getting a great workout (the kickboxing). I know I got a great workout training there. Its located in a shopping center so parking is easy too and you can go grocery shopping or shopping right after class too!

He is a superb and passionate instructor with a strong focus on fundamental Brazilian Jiu-jitsu (BJJ) principles and techniques.

My husband also has been a member since 2019 and till now has nothing but positive things to say. We love coming here everyday and the kids look forward to the classes. That being said, Matakas BJJ is the type of community, tribe, family you want to join and surround yourself with. Professor Chris Matakas & his team of Coaches are one of the best human beings we've ever encountered. Not only are they knowledgeable in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, their techniques show they are experts in this field. Matakas BJJ provides a safe and clean environment to train. The academy has a way of welcoming you and making you feel comfortable. Everyone is super friendly and helpful. The step by step instructions and guidance they provide during classes is above and beyond! Coach Dan, Coach Emma, Coach Adam, and Coach Jim just to name a few are one of the best resources available at Matakas to help you reach your goals. We love that Professor Chris is also available at the academy. You can find him teaching classes, sharing his experiences as a black belt, or greeting you with a smile and a hand shake at the door. It can't get anymore personal than that! Professor has a way of making you feel like a part of the family as soon as you walk in the academy. We love that! If you're interested in learning more about self defense definitely come for a free trial class. We highly recommend Matakas BJJ! Classes are available 7 days a week. They offer a women's self defense class, tykes class, youth class, and adult classes ranging from fundamentals, intermediate, to advanced. You can't go wrong!

Unfortunately, I couldn't continue past the trial class- the $129 a month price tag is a bit more than what I'm able to pay, I'm not sure why I expected it to be less than $75. Regardless, I would recommend this facility to anyone looking to learn martial arts in a supportive environment.

I am grateful to share this experience with my teenage daughter - she enjoys it as much as I do and we both feel more capable of defending ourselves effectively should the need arise. Highly recommend!

It has been a positive experience for both and the homework for character stripe and leadership stars reinforces what is taught in class. For my now 9-year-old, the anti-bullying techniques are very helpful. Her pitching coach has even commented on how her focus has improved since last summer. I was so impressed that I also started classes and the adult team is just as welcoming as the kids' team. It had been a long time since I did any regular exercise, but they work with you at your level. Being on the mat with all skill levels really drives you to push yourself. My energy and cardio levels are really improved, I've lost weight and am eating better too. The instructors are awesome and truly encourage everyone to reach their full potential. I recommend this for both kids and adults.

I really appreciate how ppatient both coaches are when someone is struggling with a combination/move. Overall, can't reccomend Keystone enough!!! I love that each coach is invested in your personal success, and works with people on an individual basis in order to build you up!!! This gym has helped me get through one of the more difficult parts of my life.. Thank you Coaches, I'm grateful for everything y'all have done for all of us!

I tried out a few gyms before coming to PBJJ. The first thing that stood out to me is when I spoke…read moreto the person on the phone to schedule my first free visit, he was up front about the pricing. There was no sketchiness. He didn't try to lure me in, or sell me on anything. Upon my first visit, I was greeted by Emily, one of the owners, who led me into the class. I was then greeted by the other owner Art, who welcomed me as the class was doing warm ups. At the time, I had no clue they were owners, just based upon how integrated into the school they were/are. All of the schools I've been to I never met the owner. I think it's very cool. A lot of gyms feel like corporations. Not this one. It's a perfect balance between professionalism and fun. Emily and Art genuinely care about you and don't put up with any crap. If you get hurt, they will make it their mission to find out who, what, when, where, and, why. That brings me to my next reason why I love PBJJ. The culture at this gym is vastly different than the other gyms I've been to. Not only are the owners welcoming, but everyone that trains there is welcoming. Every single instructor will introduce themselves to you if they have never met you before. Instead of making you feel like a noob on your first, second, third day, they make you feel comfortable and a part of the family. Most importantly, the quality of the instructors and classes are top notch. Most of the instructors are black belts, which is highly unusual. They are all so knowledgeable, and each one brings their own style which helps you develop your game better. Additionally, from white to black belt, there is a very diverse mix of students that train there. This gives you the opportunity to roll with people of various experience and sizes. It also gives you the chance to have multiple rolling partners so you're not constantly rolling with the same few people. Overall, BJJ is a sport you have to love, obviously, but where you train makes all of the difference. If you're new to BJJ, or you're looking for a gym, I highly recommend just coming and trying out a class. You will soon understand why I've grown so fond for that place.
