"The coaches here are really wonderful. They know how to walk the fine line of teaching mental and physical toughness and keeping the kids hearts first. Love them."
JIU-JITSU INSTRUCTOR
“I haven’t developed as strong of a passion for judo as these guys have allowed me to. The technique is solid, it’s fundamental. They start you from very ground level, and don’t treat you as less than you are, even though they are very, very, very high level practitioners”
