Whether youre a beginner, a seasoned veteran, or a pro, Peerless has something to offer everybody. I came here as a purple belt two years ago. I was 15 lbs heavier and had mostly losses whenever Id compete. Now Im in the greatest shape of my life and I finally win medals. Cant say enough good things about Peerless.

I visited this gym for the first time today, after a cordial back-and-forth with Stephen, who invited me to attend a class, via email. I got to witness the tail-end of a prior class, and noticed that the professors/instructors were attentive and patient with students. During the subsequent class, I was coached through drilling and encouraged to roll, to which I was necessarily man-handled again and again. The environment of the gym itself was friendly, and advice and tips were kindly given. Ill definitely be returning as soon as Im able.

Professor Stephen is not only a World Champion; he's also a fierce competitor. He's great with the kids and teenagers. He has knowledge to prepare you child for competition or just self defense. Great school I have 3 of the 4 kids in the DOJO ... while the youngest will be there when she turns 3yrs old.
