HEAR WHAT OUR MEMBERS HAVE TO SAY:

"We were at a crossroads with our son. He was being bullied at school, and we were considering homeschooling as a solution. Desperate to find a way to help him build confidence and stand up for himself, we decided to give Ave Maria Jiu-Jitsu a try. We are so grateful that we did. Since joining, our son has transformed in ways we never imagined. Not only has he gained incredible self-esteem and confidence, but he’s also no longer a target for bullies. The skills and discipline he’s learned on the mats have translated into remarkable improvements in his academics and social life. He is thriving both in and out of the gym, and we owe it all to the supportive environment and expert training at Ave Maria Jiu-Jitsu. We can't thank Coach Kenny enough for making such a positive impact on our son's life."

~ Mike & Lisa

"When I first enrolled my son in Jiu-Jitsu at Ave Maria Jiujitsu, I was primarily focused on the mental and physical health benefits it could provide him. Little did I know that it would lead to a personal transformation for me as well. After watching his progress and the incredible energy of the classes, I decided to jump in and try the adult class myself. It’s been a game-changer. Not only have I lost weight and gained a clearer mind, but the best part is the bond I now share with my son. We have something special to connect over in our free time, and it has brought us closer together. The positive impact on both of our lives has been profound, and I’m grateful to Ave Maria Jiu-Jitsu for this amazing experience."
