Within just two short years this gym has established itself as THE option for training Jiu jitsu and learning self defense. A lot of local gyms state that they train self-defense but fail to deliver it, let alone with consistency. Professor Danny and Professor Mark have done a wonderful job doing just that. The instruction is always top notch and easy to follow. This gym cares about your kids and your family, and offers classes and programs such as women's self-defense and kids Jiu-Jitsu. As a student I've attended different gyms before coming to Protactx and none of them have achieved the balance and quality of this one. And I highly recommend if you're in the area stopping by and checking it out. See you on the mat!

★★★★★There’s something wild and almost alchemical about this place. Protractx Jiu Jitsu isn’t just a gym, it’s a crucible.I came in a 45-year-old Marine Corps veteran, 312 pounds of old habits and scar tissue, seven years of Taekwondo behind me and a black belt around my waist. I thought I knew what fighting was. I was wrong. This art humbled me fast, and in that humility, it rebuilt me. Two years later, I stand 71 pounds lighter, stronger, sharper, and still learning.The journey hasn’t been just mine. The mats are covered in stories, people shedding weight, building muscle, transforming their health, and rediscovering themselves. I’ve watched men and women of every size and background push past fear, past pain, past every excuse to become better versions of themselves. I’ve watched kids grow into competitors and adults who came in just looking for exercise step into tournaments ,and win. Myself included. Every medal I’ve brought home tells a story of adversity met head-on and conquered, surrounded by teammates who believe in you as much as you believe in them.This is a culture of shared struggle and quiet triumph. Police officers, firefighters, doctors, corporate warriors, mixed martial artists, and quiet killers from special forces all blending together on the mats. Every roll, every drill is a conversation, an exchange of knowledge, and a test of character.What you gain here doesn’t stay in the gym. It follows you off the mats: strength of character, calm confidence, and an unshakable sense of what you’re capable of. It’s made me a better father, husband, friend, a better man.If you want a place where your kids can grow strong and safe, where you can trust the people guiding them, where you’ll find a family built on sweat, respect, and relentless support, this is it. Step through those doors. Put in the work. And let this art change you, the way it changed me. The journey continues.

I chose Protactx for my daughter’s jiu-jitsu training because I truly believe in the values and skills that this martial art instills in young athletes. Jiu-jitsu not only promotes physical fitness but also cultivates discipline, resilience, and respect—qualities that are essential for personal growth.My experience with Protactx has been nothing short of amazing. From the moment we joined, the welcoming atmosphere and supportive community have made a significant impact on both my daughter and our family. Danny, the head instructor, is a remarkable mentor who connects with the kids on a personal level. His passion for teaching and dedication to his students shine through in every class. He creates an engaging environment where children feel encouraged to learn and grow, both as athletes and individuals.It's important for me that my daughter participates in a sport that not only keeps her active but also teaches her valuable life lessons. The confidence and friendships she’s developing at Protactx are invaluable, and I am grateful for the opportunity she has to train under such an inspiring instructor.

I was so impressed with how well-structured the classes are—especially for kids! The instructors give clear, consistent guidance and create an environment where kids can stay engaged and focused. Highly recommend for families looking for a positive outlet that also teaches discipline, focus, and respect.

Been a member for a while and really can't say enough about the folks here. Great community and a wonderful place to learn some jiu jitsu. Friendly and welcoming environment. People here are considerate and thoughtful of their partner's safety which is a huge deal for those looking to stick with it for more than a few years.

Protactx allowed me to drop in to train while I was on a mini vacation in the area. Everyone was welcoming, helped me with the moves, and helped me with learning an escape after one of my rolls. The professor was amazing and explained the technique in a great way. Awesome school, I highly recommend this school if you live in the area. Thank you again Protactx

I've been training at this Brazilian Jiu Jitsu school for the past 9 months, and it has been an incredible experience. The environment is welcoming and supportive, with professors and coaches who are not only highly skilled but also genuinely invested in each student's growth. The family atmosphere makes it a safe and encouraging place to learn. The curriculum is top-notch, offering a perfect balance of technique, strategy, and physical conditioning. The people here are amazing – tough, smart training partners who push you to be your best. I recently competed in my first tournament, and over 30 people from the academy showed up to support us. Four of us came back with medals, a testament to the quality of instruction and the strong sense of community here. I highly recommend this school to anyone looking to train in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, self defense, striking and so much more.
