1802 Jiu-Jitsu

This is a GREAT gym! If you’re new to the area or just visiting I would suggest dropping in. Everyone is super chill and the coaching team is unbelievable. Very welcoming to all who train or anyone that’s new to the sport. Kids classes are phenomenal, as well as all other levels. Just a great place to train and I’m glad that I found it. Hope you join us!

How should I start? This place is just amazing. From the coaches to the people and kids training there, the atmosphere is so comfortable and open. Everyone is treated like family. Coach Derryck is so good with the toddlers and kids and his lovely wife, Leslie is such a great training partner. There’s no other place to bring the whole family for a great workout. I’m glad I’ve chosen this place to train because not only have I improved in my jiu jitsu, I gained lifelong friends that I consider family. Don’t pass this place up.

I honestly can't say enough good things about this place. Coach Derryck has really set up an amazing gym and the coaches there are really fantastic. The previous location (above KidVentures) was a bit cramped, so it's really nice that they were finally able to find a new location. Their new gym has a lot more space so the kids can spread out and they even put in some gym equipment so parents can work out while their kids are rolling. Coach Derryck really cares about the kids and works hard to instill a love for the sport in them. He is also very safety-conscious and teaches the kids how to do techniques in a safe way and never to cause any harm to their teammates. Coach Ric is also a fantastic addition and is so patient with the kids. They also have a fair promotion system and give stripes/belts out during promotions once a quarter, if you earn it. We've been members of this gym for over 1.5 years and our son has developed a love for the sport.

Dropped in for a class during a business trip and had a great experience. Big clean gym, nice ambiance, springy mats, good training partners, and Professor John was very welcoming, gave very detailed demos of the technique and helpful tips during drilling. Anyone who lives nearby is lucky to have such a great place to train.

Wonderful experience! We took my 7 year old daughter for the trial kids class and she really enjoyed it. We were incredibly pleased with how kind and helpful the staff is, and the coaches really know how to keep jiu jitsu fun while also training the kids on useful skills as well. I would highly recommend!
