Don't take our word for it — here's what our students and parents say.

★★★★★

"I highly recommend UT for kids Jiu Jitsu. My son is a very shy 4 year old and I was very surprised when we walked in, met the owner, tried a class and was told by my son that he enjoyed it very much. My son is very happy when I say it's "Jiu Jitsu day". Yanni is very patient, knowledgeable, great with the kids and commands the room with great control."

"I got into BJJ late in life at 45. Time and time again I was told by instructors and students about Yanni's technical expertise. It's a great place with a great group of men and women to train with. I've been there for over 2 years now and love it. Great workout and even better stress reliever. No contract lock down — when you have a great product, you don't need to force a contract on someone."
