Why Clients Love Us

Absolutely love this Jiu Jitsu school! My son has been attending for a year, and he’s not only passionate about the classes but has also gained incredible confidence. The family-friendly atmosphere is welcoming, making every session feel like joining a supportive community. The instructors are phenomenal, fostering a sense of respect, discipline, and personal growth among the students. It’s more than just martial arts; it’s about building character and resilience. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a nurturing environment for their child to thrive in both physically and mentally. Truly a fantastic experience!

Ro Fitness

My son has been attending the 4-6 year old class for the past few months and so far our experience has been very positive. My son struggles with focusing and the instructors/sensei have been very good about keeping him engaged. They have been very patient and caring which my husband and I truly appreciate. Bringing our son to this academy makes us feel that we belong to a community. There is a strong sense of family here which you don’t get at many places. My family gives Eidson Brazilian Jiu Jitsu 5 stars for this reason.

Stephanie K

My kids LOVE Eidson BJJ. We tried several places in the area before we decided to sign up here. The instructors are so patient and kind with my boys ages five, 11, and 13. They separate classes by age and have multiple classes each week with plenty of instructors. In class they begin with warm-ups, demonstrate moves, and give everyone a chance to practice what they have learned. Everyone who attends class is really nice and it has been a pleasure watching my children gain confidence, strength, and discipline. Highly recommend!
