Fantastic experience: John's classes are super awesome! Even though I had absolutely no background doing anything remotely similar to Jiu Jitsu, everyone has made me feel very welcome, and I feel like I've been making good progress through his system.

Fantastic experience: I dropped in a couple times while I was in town for work. John and his students were very welcoming and I felt comfortable training almost immediately. The facilities are clean with good hygiene protocols. The instruction was well presented and followed an easy to understand building block approach, I thoroughly enjoyed the classes. Everyone I rolled with was respectable the rolls were great! I highly recommend this place to train and will definitely be coming back whenever I am in town, great place to train BJJ!

Fantastic experience: John is an amazing! I have been doing strength and conditioning at Combat Arts for 4 years now. I have been to a number of gyms before and John is by far the best coach I have ever trained with. My strength has constantly gone up, I’ve been injury free, and in fact John has helped heal and strengthen some of my previous injuries. His programming is varied, challenging, and always with an eye towards safety. I leave every class exhausted. I highly recommend Combat Arts.
