Fantastic experience: Razzano academy accepts all who come with open arms, upon arrival I was met by very generous individuals who helped me with every question I may have had. Even as a new member to the gym Dax took the time to answer and questions I may have as if I was one of his long time students. Doesn’t get more comfortable or friendly than Razzano’s

Fantastic experience: Best gym in town. Great atmosphere and the best instruction you can get, for a great price.

Fantastic experience: Dax is very knowledgeable instructor with a unique way of thinking about and teaching. He has both black belts in Judo and Brazilian Jiu-jitsu. The gym is small and immaculate. The guys who train there are a fun and rowdy bunch who are tight group, but very open to new comers. If you want to learn and train this is the best spot in Bloomington.

Fantastic experience: Trained here the two years I lived in Bloomington. I really enjoyed the company of the small group and the unique vibe they had there. Dax is a great guy.

Fantastic experience: Wont get better training anywhere else. Effective techniques are taught for anyone looking to compete or self defense - both on the ground and standing. Also great implementation of equally effective traditional techniques which surprise the competition, and give you a definitive edge at tournaments. Lastly, excellent focus on using technical movements to establish control, allowing your opponents to feel all your evilness with minimal effort!

Fantastic experience: Fun group of people to train with that have lots of knowledge to share. I dropped in to check out an open mat and they offered me a gi to train in and let me join them on the mat.

Fantastic experience: Excellent instruction with a solid group of training partners. Dax has years of experience in grappling and is an encyclopedia of technical details. The classes are laid-back and friendly, but the instruction points are all top-notch. The group is a good group who will help you become a better grappler. If you show up, it should be pretty clear right off the bat whether this is the school for you or not. As a final comment, I'm a bit surprised to see low reviews with either no comments or else comments that don't seem to correspond to anything, um, real. I can safely say, however, that people with the time to form coherent reality-based sentences all seem to like the club. Hope to see you on the mats.

Negative experience: CONS: Cult-like atmosphere. Sand-in-pocket-type 'arts.' PROS: LGBTQ-friendly, new-age, emotional 'dance'-style vibe

Fantastic experience: No Doubt, this is the best BJJ gym in B-Town, and even one of the best gyms in Indiana. The people train hard and have fun at the same time in the gym and Dax is an experienced instructor with brilliant sense of humor and patient. As my personal experience, I met many great people in this gym, and this gym definitely makes my college life better and gives me unforgettable memory!

Fantastic experience: The best place in town to train Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. At a very fair price, you can have fun and train hard. It's a really cool group and Dax is an exceptional teacher that keeps it entertaining! Come in and change your life!
