Being new to the sport and a little out of shape finding such a supportive and encouraging group of people has been life changing. The instructors bring out the best version of you everytime you get on the mat. Working crazy long hours to support my family the early morning classes were a perfect fit for a busy schedule and have absolutley transformed how i handle the day. I haven't had the chance to attend the daytime classes but open mats on Sundays has been a great for getting a variety of knowledge. Everyone I talk to says the children's program is fantastic and i am hoping to be able to get my kids in soon. If you're looking for a great gym that invests INTO YOU, look no further. Less

First, Kelley (the main instructor ) blends her BJJ experience and her work experience into one location. It truly has a family atmosphere and it blends education perfectly. You can see that in the kids classes which are popular and there are a variety of levels in the classes. (Not everyone is a white belt) and it’s not just brown belts.Secondly, there is Adam another instructor who has a lengthy resume and is well equipped to train anyone and I noticed that Kelley and Adam have a variety of coaches with vast years of experience to suit your goals.3rd and more importantly, GLBJJ is inviting. I haven’t had to deal with meat head personalities, over inflated egos and there is no pressure selling. Everyone who I come in contact with is humble and respectful.Oh! Not the most important, but GLBJJ has a weight room. Very helpful to balance out rolling with strength and conditioning and also great to use while the kiddos get their rolling and striking in. As a parent I want to maximize the limited time I have.Bring your family or yourself on over to GLBJJ. You won’t find the top notch quality anywhere else.Thank you GLBJJ-D Less

Great Lakes BJJ has been a huge part of our lives over the last 3 1/2 years. We have had two sons and one granddaughter enrolled in there. Over that time we’ve had the honor of watching them grow in their self confidence and their JiuJitsu skills grow by leaps and bounds. It’s great to have such a safe place with great coaches who care deeply about the kids.Ryan and Laurie Wickson Less

For the time I've been training at Great Lakes BJJ my experience has been nothing short of exceptional. The coaches are highly skilled instructors, each bringing a unique expertise to their classes. Whether it's fundamentals or advanced techniques, every session is informative and engaging. The training environment is welcoming and supportive, with a community of skilled and friendly students who are always eager to help you progress, no matter your experience level. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced grappler, Great Lakes BJJ offers a place to grow and elevate your skills. Less

Every. Single. Person. Cares! The owner has built a community here that welcomes any and all to learn jiu jitsu. I have done jiu jitsu in the past and was looking for a new gym to train at that I could reasonably afford while still receiving quality training. Both my toddler and I attend classes. All of the instructors are amazing with kids to include each kid no matter their comfortability and skill level. For the adult classes, each instructor teaches differently so classes are always engaging. I love that they really take the time to teach and make sure you are getting the skills and pushing yourself (at whatever grit level you can handle). The membership is also month to month which is great if you need to pause it for whatever reason. The gym itself is kept really clean, there's a room for kids to play in, and there's also a gym area downstairs with weights to use as well. Everyone is really nice in all the classes I've been to and they are super supportive both as other adults training with in class and other parents in the kid classes. Kelley (the owner) has done an amazing job with the gym but also in creating this community. She is present from teaching classes, to cleaning the gym, to talking to everyone. Super glad we found this place! <3 Less

GLBJ is truly a wonderful place! My daughter loves being apart of Great Lakes Brazilian Jujitsu and joining in on Monday and Wednesdays with her friends to learn and grow. Thank you Great Lakes Brazilian Jujitsu for opening new doors, building my daughter’s confidence, teaching her a new skill and giving us a place we adore so much! Less

I do not have enough good things to say about Great Lakes BJJ! I have been training here for over a year and have trained through most of my pregnancy. All of the coaches are amazing and are very accommodating. They have made sure I’ve been included in as many things as possible during pregnancy and have made me feel it was a safe space to train! Great environment overall, very friendly to all experience levels! If you want to get into martial arts this a great place to begin and continue your journey! Less
