This place is awesome. We were in town for vacation and my son wanted to keep training for an upcoming competition. Instructors Dave, Joey and all the students welcomed my son and made him part of the group. Thankful for the kindness of the Ju Jitsu family!!
The owner is courteous and only there to help you. Do you want to compete? He'll get you ready. Do you want to learn self-defense? He can do that, too. Do you want to improve fitness? All you need to do is show up and roll. The lake area is blessed to have Dave vision. Make no mistake that your ego will be crushed, but if you survive that you'll love it.
Dave and Joey are amazing teachers! They're really good with children. They're patient and understanding but can be stern if it's needed. Great place to have your kids or even yourself learn a useful skill! They really do want to see you succeed!
Owner is rude, and only out to get your money. He will keep you from progressing, in hopes you keep coming back. If you compete you’ll be way over qualified for your rank amongst other schools, so you’ll win and that’s what he wants in order to make his school look good. HUGE TURNOVER RATE, and Joey the instructor and his friendliness is the only thing keeping that school open. Would definitely find another school unless you like wasting your time and money.
Dave and his students provide an environment that is safe and welcoming to all. If you want to learn how to defend yourself, lose weight, or meet some good people go by and try out a class. You won't find better around the lake.
