“I've been training at Ann Arbor BJJ since opening day. I've made tremendous improvements in my skills, but more importantly, I've found an incredible community. Everyone here is helpful, respectful, and welcoming. My most recent competition ended with a 6-0 record, securing gold.”
“Innovative & excellent BJJ instruction and supportive community. Coach Royce's approach completely shifted my mindset. Instead of trying to recall memorized sequences, I focus on understanding the problem in real time. Nothing speaks louder than gold medals.”
“Been training here since the start of this semester and it's been awesome. Perfect location for students and very competitively priced for BJJ in Ann Arbor. Royce is a great teacher and I appreciate his approach to teaching.”
“The space is very well equipped and clean, with a modern vibe. Classes are fun and challenging with a great range of training partners. Sessions at 6am, noon, and evenings — every day of the week. Great find!”
“This gym is situated in the heart of central campus and is run by a passionate coach. Every class, Coach Miller gives feedback to all his students. The gym is a modern and immaculately clean environment. The student body are welcoming and fun to practice with.”
“Ann Arbor BJJ is for sure the best gym for UofM students. Comprehensive instruction, well-maintained and modern facility, and a great training environment. I can't recommend this gym enough!”
“My children have practiced different martial arts before but Ann Arbor BJJ has truly given us something special. My kids have already learned so much — and the best part is, we don't have to convince them to go to class. They want to go. It honestly feels like family.”
“My daughter has been training under Coach Royce for 3 years. He's a great coach with passion for the sport and students. Best bang for the buck — flexible hours, unlimited training, weight room, modern training style, and a cool environment.”
“Coach Royce is very knowledgeable and able to accommodate different experience levels and training backgrounds. Our kids have been training here since they opened and have already learned so much. A great, modern take on BJJ.”
“Extremely welcoming environment for any level. I've enjoyed learning and hanging out with everyone, from coaches to fellow students!”
