So if you’re looking for a challenging and fun way to attain optimal physical condition, try this technical martial art in a safe, friendly, and ego-free environment.
This is a great gym. High quality. No brown belts leading these classes. The owner is the instructor for every class. For example: we only had 2 guys enter the state tournament this month, held by another gym. Both students took 3rd place. Not bad for its first year. This is head over heals better than any other new school in the area. Next year Waza BJJ should have a sweep of trophies. 😛 Cya there.
