Awesome gym! I dropped in from out of state to get some rolls and Dave and Scott were extremely welcoming. They gave me some hard rolls while still being nice and friendly. Nice and clean facility as well really has everything you need. Thanks guys I’ll definitely be back whenever I’m in town!
I've been training with Dave for over a year and it's been an awesome time. He explains things thoroughly in an easy-to-understand way, and he's always willing to answer any questions and provide feedback to refine technique. He's got a deep understanding of jiujitsu and a passion for helping others improve their game in a way that makes sense to and works for them. The gym's got a great group of people who're all positive and work together to make each other better, whether they're there training to compete or just as a hobby. Dave's done an excellent job creating a team-focused environment that works well for anyone, no matter what your personal BJJ goals are. Absolutely recommend Next Level to anyone interested in BJJ!
I’ve been training with Dave over a decade, and I can honestly say he is one of a kind. His knowledge of jiu-jitsu is deep and he has a true gift for breaking down technique in a way that works for every level. But what really sets him apart is who he is off the mat - genuine, patient, and the kind of person who makes everyone in the room feel welcome. If you’re looking for a place to train that checks every box, look no further. Highest Recommendation.
From day one training with Dave, I felt welcomed and supported. Dave is knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely invested in helping every student improve. The training is top-notch: structured classes, clear instruction, and plenty of attention to detail. Safety and respect are clearly priorities here, which creates an awesome culture on and off the mats. The teammates are friendly, humble, and always willing to help—no egos, just hard work and good vibes. If you’re looking for a place to learn jiu jitsu, get in great shape, and be part of a strong, positive community, this is the gym. Highly recommend to anyone at any experience level. 🥋💪
Wouldn’t want to train anywhere else. Dave has been my head coach for almost 2 years now and I couldn’t imagine it any other way. The people at Next Level are the kinds of friends and staff you want surrounding you. High level instruction, great customer service, and a clean facility. Go here if you’re serious about training.
