This is the real deal! I have been a member of the school for approx 8 months now and I have learned so much. I have been a member of many different types of martial arts schools and gyms in the past. This is one of the best I have been to! I recently moved to Vancouver WA from the Bay area CA. There are a lot of choices for BJJ where I lived and very few here. I checked out what few options were available before selecting this gym. Our instructor holds multiple black belts(including Brazilian Jiu Jitsu) and is a certified personal trainer. He is always excited to be in the gym training with you and is one of the most motivating people you will ever meet. I’m pretty sure he is the only black belt BJJ instructor in Clark County but don’t quote me on that(if there is another, I couldn’t find him). We have almost 2000 sq ft of mat space, a ring, and a bunch punching/Muy Thai bags. The gym is very clean at all times and it never smells. If you are in Vancouver Wa, this is the best it gets. If you are looking to get in shape while learning to fight on the ground or standing up… then this is the place for you. If you want to see an example of how a small person can beat a much larger opponent with ease, then you should come down to the gym watch a class. There are adult and kids classes. All are welcome and you don’t have to be in shape to try it. Before I signed up he let me try a week for free. I’m pretty sure that he still gives a free week to anyone who wants to check it out. Can’t beat that. One final thing to add: Right now we are still growing so the classes aren’t very big, which means you(or your child) get more personalized attention from your instructor than if you were in a larger class. Since I have joined the school, there have been two times that I have been the only student in the class and I basically got a 1.5 hr private lesson for free… but don’t think that’s going to happen to you, because I am there almost everyday now ;-)
