What to expect
The testimonials
I started training with Joel and Megan in January of 2021. I had no prior grappling experience and was looking to both learn a new skill and challenge myself physically and mentally. Despite the awkwardness that is inevitable with day 1 Jiu Jitsu, Joel made me feel at home right away. His upbeat, good-natured attitude combined with an incredible attention to detail fosters an environment where you are eager to learn every time you step on the mat. It is no surprise that Joel and Megan have attracted such an incredible group of people that make showing up each day even more enjoyable. We are lucky to have such a world class instructor in town; come join the team!

Megan and Joel are the best Jiujitsu trainers around. Their passion for the sport is felt and seen every time you step into their gym. Joel is the perfect balance of discipline and kindness and his approach always keeps the kids engaged. My two boys love their classes under his coaching and they never want to skip a day. Not only have they gotten stronger physically since starting Jiujitsu but they have also learned amazing new self defense skills which will serve them for the rest of their lives!

I started jiu jitsu to take a few self defense classes but quickly fell in love with it and started training regularly. Joel and Megan are so welcoming to everyone (women, men, adults, kids). They are also amazing instructors that focus on technique, safety and fun! This community has become like family and it’s a privilege to have them in our valley.

Joel and Megan have been wonderful coaches for my pre-teen daughter who is on their competition kids team. Joel is a world class black belt with lots of competition experience. My daughter has gained confidence and skill from the coaching at JiuJitsu100 and has won lots medals too. She wants to be at practice every day and I can trust that she will be safe and well cared for.

If you are looking for a way to keep your kid/s active and give them lifelong skills, this is the place to be. My kid has been training for about a year and he is very confident. Not only are they exercising but Megan and Joel make sure to keep them focus and accountable. Both Megan and Joel are amazing!!!
