Our 5 year old has been in his class since April and has learned a lot and has made friends with all the kids. I stay for the class, there is plenty of seating for parents and coach interacts with everyone and makes jokes, we're laughing a lot. The kids get plenty of water breaks and each class usually ends with sparring. I have tried the adult class and never did jiujitsu in my life. It doesn't matter what level you're at when you join a class, coach and other people training will help you. While I haven't signed up for jiujitsu yet I have joined the morning conditioning workouts on M, W, & F mornings. It is an hour of intense training that includes running, high intensity intervals, and strength training with weights and body weight. I love it! I have been doing it since May and plan to continue inevitably :-)

Since then (albeit…read more2.5 weeks), I'm sleeping better, noticing my body is starting to change, and I just feel GREAT! Professor Joseph is incredibly knowledgeable and makes class serious, but also laid back. He makes sure to check on every student. Whether there be 2 or 20 in the class. That's the sign of a good professor. I'm doing the cardio kickboxing class, and I'm hooked! I highly recommend GFV to everyone

Everyone from beginner to the very experienced at this place is very helpful and very friendly. They understand being new is hard and they help in any way they can. I did take a few one on one lessons and then jumped into classes. It's a blast but far from easy. Expect to be a little sore and achy as you will use muscles you had no idea you had. Flexibility is important so plan on getting there a little early to stretch out before class. I've had ACL replacement, hand reconstruction from a severe shattering, and have a hip replacement and I'm 47 years old. If I can get out there and flop around anyone can.

We (the original group of women) all started knowing absolutely nothing about Jiu Jitsu to now being 3 stripe Blue Belts. We've all come a long way & we have Jess & Danilo to thank. Men & women also train together & everyone is very respectful towards each other. It's really been an incredible experience. The members are all really great people with different levels of experience. Many of the members compete in IBJJF Championships, Pan Am's & World's Competitions, very often medaling. They offer BJJ, MMA, No-Gi, Drills, & Kid's Classes. The gym is great with a very large mat area to train. They also have a weight area with a treadmill. If you have any interest in trying BJJ, call or stop in & give it a try. Check out their Facebook page & www.jitsuacademy.com

I was told that the only way I could use my credit card to pay was to sign up for recurring billing. I was coerced into taking this option as I had no other choice. My granddaughter was not interested in continuing after the first session and, apparently I was a few days late in asking to cancel the charges for the next session. They would not and will not refund my money. I am paying for a service that I am not receiving. This is deceptive practice and certainly not a good community partnership !! BEWARE !!

Although Matt is a brown belt in Judo and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and Jeff is a world-class college wrestler, the profound depth of knowledge they have of every other art form speaks to their versatility and dedication to mixed martial arts and is truly quite astounding. If you are a professional fighter, amateur looking to go pro or if you just have a ton of experience already- TRUST ME these guys are the coaches you want in your corner to train you. They not only manage to smoothly run classes for varying levels of experience but they make sure to challenge pro's to push themselves further expand past their comfort zones. Without a doubt, you're going to love training with these professional fighters- AND you'll love the gym for lifting weights and getting into crazy good shape upstairs at their facility!!

Since then, he has been treated with incredible respect, patience, and encouragement by both the coaches and his teammates. They have helped him learn MMA, grappling, kickboxing, striking, and boxing while building his confidence along the way. In just four days, Mike will compete in his first match. For him, this is a dream come true. Watching the support he receives from Coach Miguel, Coach Frank, and his teammates has been truly inspiring. Their commitment extends beyond training champions. They work to ensure martial arts is available to everyone, regardless of skill level or ability. We couldn't be more thankful for everything Mongoose Training Academy has done for Mike.
