jiu jitsu is for everyone
Ryan is very good with the kids
Ryan is very good with the kids yet still disciplined with them. A very good environment.
To our suprise Ryan organized all of the 4-8 year old perfectly
My youngest at 5 just started jiu-jitsu here. She has been to class 3 times and absolutely loves it. After every class she has continually asked, "How many more sleeps until my next one?" I was a bit skeptical the first class due to the size. I looked at my husband and said, can't wait to see how this goes! Thinking it would be like wrangling wild cats. To our suprise Ryan organized all of the 4-8 year old perfectly. Each class has been something new and he keeps it fun for all ages. We would highly recommend!
Ryan Thomas is a great role model for kids
Grandson has just finished his first of many years to come with Ryan and his team. Grandson has loved the experience, training and challenges that comes with BJJ. Ryan Thomas is a great role model for kid. Class is very well managed with great technique, control and instruction. Cool to see the Adults so willing to help with all other kids.
Ryan and his staff are great and patient with the kids
My daughter has only been in class for a few weeks but she already loves Jiu Jitsu. She's always asking when her next class is and walks into class every time smiling and ready to go. Ryan and his staff are great and patient with the kids. Would absolutely recommend!
