I'll definitely miss training here. Let me tell why Paul Tom's Jiujitsu Academy is the best place…read moreto train in Utah County: -The Instructors. Professor Paul Tom is a black belt under Flavio Behring, one of the only red belts in the world of Jiujitsu. When I started training here over a year ago, Professor Paul welcomed me with such warmth, and I knew instantly that he cares deeply about the growth and development of his students. In addition to his excellent lessons on the many techniques and their details, he is an excellent storyteller (especially the ones about Rickson) and always makes the extra effort to improve our game. I felt deeply honored to receive my blue belt from him. Professor Paul's two sons Nate and Trevor are also black belts who provide a fresh contrast to Paul's "old school" jiujitsu, by focusing on not only fundamentals, but also sport jiujitsu as well. They are also amazing instructors with awesome hearts. -The Drilling. There are days where we only focus on drilling one specific move, or days when we focus on sequences and/or several moves. The curriculum here is well developed based upon the core principles of posture, pressure, and precision. All instructors and upper belts also make great efforts in walking through the details with you and addressing student-specific needs. -The Sparring. There are no meat heads here trying to smash complete beginners (and if they somehow enter the dojo, there is always someone here who will be the enforcer). Everyone is super chill and purely interested in working together to improve. If you are new, I highly suggest sparring with a purple belt or higher, so they can guide you in learning how to spar with the greatest effectiveness and highest state of calm. -The Family. I will miss training with people here. It is like a little family, and all members who stick around will become friends and find a tight-knit community of fighters that will not hesitate to protect one another and their loved ones.

Justus is a crook and a fraud…read more We took our 4 year old son here to help with his focus. Justus told us how much karate would help his focus. After signing the contract things went south and fast! First they told us our son would have someone to help on his first day. Nope, some how they forgot and he was terrified in his class. They said they would have someone for his second class. Nope. We watched the receptionist twice record in her notes that he needed a shadow and never received one. This was the first issue. The next issue came when they told us they need MMA gloves. They could only be bought through them at 35 bucks. A month later they still haven't ordered them but they were more than happy to take our money. That was the second issue. Our contract states that the agreed monthly tuition was to be taken out on a specific day. Randomly we were charged $149. We called and Justus claimed he has no records of him taking any money but said he would quickly resolve this. Then he kept coming up with excuses and then stopped taking our calls. He started ignoring our calls and then would screen our calls through the receptionist. Justus doesn't even have the guts to talk to the people he STOLE money from. We decided this was fraud and contacted our attorney. She stated that with them taking money out outside of the agreed amount and date, this was a breach of contract and therefore it is void. Upon telling Justus this, he he told us that his contract holds up in court. He never apologized or tried to fix this issue. This is fraud and he has stolen money right out of our account with no explanation. The last issue is the school isn't taught by Justus. It's taught by a bunch of high school kids who seem to have no patience at all. Our son was having focus issues and this is the main reason why we put him in Karate. He had teachers roll their eyes and were short tempered with him. Unbelievable. I urge anyone who is thinking about using Bobby Lawrence Karate team Justus to run away as fast as you can. Like I stated before. He is a fraud and a crook. His business skills are awful and should not be allowed to own a business. Lastly, we went to our bank to dispute the $149 charge. The teller told us how she used to work for Justus. She told us that things like this happened frequently and there was a lot of shady business done there. She said she was so uncomfortable with how Justice did business she left. So please, STAY AWAY FROM BOBBY LAWRENCE KARATE TEAM JUSTUS!!!!!!

I have studied under other teachers and nobody compares to master Perry. He is a humble master and therefore creates humble students who know their strengths and weaknesses. Master Perry adapts his instruction to each student to maximize their natural talents and to create the best martial artist they can be. He also knows how to maximize the effectiveness of stomach crunches by telling jokes as the class tries to keep up. Crunching while laughing is extremely difficult and my core has never been stronger because of it. My kids also loved working with master Perry and it gave them something that really builds self-esteem - accomplishment. It also gave them some humility and patience. Master Perry's good attributes rub off on his students too.
