““I wish I would have started sooner. I originally thought I would give jiu jitsu a try for a few months and probably get bored with it. Wrong. For myself, Jiu jitsu has been one of the most exciting, humbling, exhausting, rewarding, inspiring and challenging endeavours.I have made it a family rule that my son and especially my daughter take BJJ.”

“I cannot say enough about Clinch Academy. They have given my son the skills and confidence to break out of a cycle of victimization educators could not stop. He loves Clinch Academy!”
“My husband and I started BJJ back in the beginning of august. I was so scared to go into a martial arts gym for the first time, but once we got there everything changed. Luke and Josh are some of the nicest people ever. Along with everyone else that attends the gym as well. There are important policies that ensures a safe environment to be able to learn and have fun! Everyone is super nice and willing to teach you or talk to you. 10/10 would recommend this gym for anyone and everyone!
