This is a great gym. I walked in off the streets with no fighting experience and no idea how to learn this skill. Eddie and his team of coaches were welcoming and provided a simple and well laid out path for how I could learn and improve my skills. The coaching staff are extremely knowledgeable and break down ideas and techniques into learnable lessons. Eddies passion for Jiu-Jitsu is contagious and makes you want to keep asking questions and keep training. The gym is clean and provides a welcoming atmosphere. If your thinking about walking in and trying it out, just do it.
Eddie has a way of breaking down techniques that is truly amazing. He is very patient and genuinely loves teaching jiu jitsu. From young kids to the elderly, he has a way of communicating and making everybody feel as if they're on the same page. I highly recommend training at Eddie's facility regardless of your situation. His professional demeanor and attitude brings such a great atmosphere to his facility that you will want to keep going back.
This message is for Tim Burke. Wearing a mask is pointless when grappling being that you're making direct contact with others, well within the 6 foot guidelines, (not mandate). You probably shouldn't bring your kid to BJJ class if you're concerned about covid but I'm willing to bet every jiujitsu practitioner has a stronger immune system than most considering all of the contact we make on a regular basis.
Clean and professional. Eddie has been at the forefront of Jiu-Jitsu in the area for many years. Eddie has an ability to translate technique and concept that goes unparalleled. Eddie works diligently to instill discipline and focus among his child students. Eddie offers a strong emphasis on bullying prevention which has manifested itself in his students actions outside of the academy. When Eddie is not present he employs instructors who share his attributes and bring their own unique attributes to class which further diversifies skill and offers even greater perspective.
This academy is nothing short of amazing. Each Professor that teaches brings something different and highly valuable at the same time. Professor Eddie provides a safe, clean environment for adults and children and has a genuine interest in the success of each student regardless of their background or origin. The atmosphere inside the gym is inviting and everyone there is relaxed, easy going, and helpful.
Professor Eddie provides anti-bullying instruction in the kid's classes that is important and necessary given the reality many children face in the capital region and beyond. Both of my children hold Professor Eddie in high regard and often repeat things that he has told them months after it was conveyed.
This is an academy where your life will change for the better. If you are looking for a way to challenge yourself physically and mentally in a safe, clean environment then look no further.
