⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ • 8 months ago

Changed location to 228 South main Street, Rutland. After finding the new location I dropped in to see what it was like and it was everything I ever hoped for in BJJ club. It seems very relaxed and focused on rolling to practice technique. Not the fast paced, competitive environment of mainstream gyms. Clarence was very welcoming and made me feel comfortable to come by the gym for a few classes and open mats before I make a commitment. I will definitely be joining regardless.

A great place to learn bjj. I had one of the best drop in experiences that I've ever had at a martial arts school and I first went to a gym in 1979. Coach Clarence welcomed me with open arms. When he was teaching he did an especially good job developing the skills of different level students. And when rolling he is a frustratingly good defensive player who always has a smile. His attitude was emulated by his students. This is definitely a great place to train.

Great place to train! The instructors are skilled and knowledgeable in both Gi and NoGi. I love that there’s classes and open mat days, but also that each day there’s an opportunity to catch something on the schedule! It makes it easy to incorporate BJJ into your lifestyle. The people you train with week after week begin to feel like close friends and that’s all you can ask for in a gym!
