I started training BJJ for the first time about a year and a half ago. Before that I worked out moderately and ate ok, but I'm 40 and was feeling 40. I've never had my body react this way before, it's like I'm 20 again. Everyone has been very welcoming and the instructors really pay attention to each persons progress. I feel great and have made some great friends!

NOT FOR ADULT BEGINNERS. Im sure if I had any prior experience or had seen Jiu Jitsu previously, my time there would have been far more enjoyable. But as that was not the case, and had expected some kind of beginners lesson other than get in there, I was disappointed to say the least. Clean space, had hoped for more.
