My experience prior allowed me to train under about 3 different instructors. That fact makes me confident to say that coach Ben is the best. Coach Ben's classes are organised in a step by step easy to understand process. The facility is clean and spacious. It has an inviting atmosphere and everyone is friendly. I'm a slow learner and they do a good job working with that here. Coach Ben is good at communicating in a clear and encouraging way. Coach Jen is very knowledgable and informative about anything beyond the mat. They both make a great team and it's impressive how well the location is run. As a student I'm grateful for the work they do which is motivating for me to stay commited to training. This is the best place to train Jiu-Jitsu and I wouldn't want to train anywhere else or with anyone else.

I've had the privilege of training under coach Bill for a few years. I cannot express enough how…read morepassionate and enthusiastic he is about martial arts that is actually practical. I say that with an emphasis because there are a lot of Brazilian jiu jitsu (BJJ) gyms popping up these days that focus on wining matches and scoring points. You must do your own research and due diligence to pick a gym that's right for you. I have been training BJJ for over 10 years now and my best advice for you is to register for a free trial class. There's no amount of review-reading you can do that will compare to the feedback you get from your first class. Then, decide if it's for you or not. Fair? One standout aspect you should know about Blast MMA and coach Bill is that he is a well-rounded martial artist. He doesn't just do jiu jitsu. He does wrestling, Judo, and striking (MMA) as well. It's natural to assume oh if he does other things, maybe his jiu jitsu or his striking may not be as good. Uh uh. That's not the case here. He's at the same level in all of them! The way I see it, coach Bill views them all as different parts making up one single, complete art. They aren't siloed or separated for him. I've seen him coach BJJ tournaments, Muay Thai matches and MMA fights - big and small. He's done it all. You can expect to absorb all of his knowledge here at Blast MMA! I don't personally do striking but you'll surely be doing a lot of take downs (Judo, wrestling, MMA) here. Once you advance in ranks, you will learn many kinds of leg locks. You will also learn back attacks, chokes and submissions that coach Bill has tested and refined over the years. You can expect powerful techniques that work in any settings - a self-defense situation, a BJJ tournament, or an MMA fight. The "Power Kimura" that he taught me is still a part of my game today. In case you don't yet understand all the above BJJ and MMA lingo, don't worry about it. If you have been wondering about starting your fight journey, all I have to say is register for that free trial class. That's exactly how I got hooked - a free trial class. I had been thinking about training for a couple years before that. I wished I started sooner. Don't do what I did. Start NOW! If you live in the area, I cannot think of a better, well-rounded gym than Blast MMA. You're going to learn so much!
