“I was recently able to drop in and train as an out of towner. I have been in a lot of Jiu Jitsu gyms through the years and I was blown away by the culture and instruction at this gym. Amazing instruction from Professor Caito who combines multiple grappling arts, through hands on experience, to provide detailed yet understandable instruction. Class focused on technique without sacrificing movement. Highly recommended ”
