I've dabbled in several martial arts, went pretty far in one when I was a kid, but in my experience very few are applicable in real life. BJJ is at the top of that list, and this academy has a master instructor who cares about teaching, learning, engaging with his students, and really wants everyone to succeed. There's no machismo in this academy and the culture there wouldn't welcome that approach. This is truly a world class gym that welcomes everyone.If I could give 6 stars, I would. Less

Been Training here since the beginning of January, 10/10 recommend. Coach Phillip is one of the coolest people I know and everyone is beyond welcoming there. Can’t say enough good things abt this place! Less

After both training and coaching here I can say, what really sets this place apart is the community. There’s a genuine sense of camaraderie on the mats—people push each other to get better, but in a way that’s supportive rather than competitive. It’s the kind of environment where you can train hard, laugh often, and walk away feeling like you’ve accomplished something meaningful. Less

Great training, great group of hard working people, great energy! Can’t recommend getting started in Jiu-Jitsu highly enough, and Smith is a great place to learn! Less

Amazing place to learn jiu jitsu for all levels from beginners to advanced. With a fun friendly and welcoming environment. This is the best place to train in the area. Less
