This gym is full of awesome people who build you up and accept you from moment 1. Love this place!- Pipeline Financial Solutions. 1/15/2017
- I'm new to BJJ, but I've had an awesome experience here so far. Professor David does a great job breaking down the basics in a way that I wont get overwhelmed. The atmosphere of the gym is amazing too. Everyone is always ready to train and are great at building eachother up. I would definitely look here first if your looking to get in to Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.- Robert Farris. 11/9/2016

- I have lost 37lbs since the New Year. 19lbs since joining Knuckle Up for Jiu Jitsu in late April. I weighed 213lbs this morning which means I am literally the smallest I've been in 15 years. I am not sure I would have been able to do it without my new friends at the gym. The instructors are awesome and patient. The classes and members are all supportive and willing to help. I enjoy this place more than I can express on social media. January 2016 - A follow up on this review. I am still a member of this gym and currently working toward my goals in Jiu Jitsu. My weight has dropped to 185 lbs. So in 10 months I have lost 65 total. The people here are awesome and I consider all of them family. November 2016 - My entire family have now joined Knuckle Up and couldnt be happier. This place is my second home.- Stephen . 10/17/2016
- First thing, I love this place! And I would recommend it anyone looking to make a positive change in their life. I have been with the school for about 3.5 years now, and it has become a second home for me. The instructor, David, is awesome. I've been coming 2-5 days a week for the jiu jitsu program since I started, and everyday is always something new and fun. But my favorite thing about Knuckle Up has got to be the people here. From the very first day I walked in the door I felt welcomed, everyone is always very friendly and willing to help me whenever I need. So anyone looking for a fun and engaging way to workout, just come in and visit us.- Kristna N. 10/16/2016
- I have been taking the kickboxing class since January 2014, without becoming bored or losing interest in going. My overall level of fitness has increased drastically! I toned & firmed up those female problem areas, while enjoying what I was doing! I could not imagine going anywhere else. The schedule of classes works well with any schedule you might have. The owner & the other students are always willing to help you out and are totally supportive of each other.- Naomi Mellos. 4/5/2016
- I have been training for about a year now and I can't imagine training anywhere else. The owner’s go out of their way to provide the best training with quality instruction in a clean and safe environment. From beginner to advanced, this is the place to train.- Sean Carolan. 7/13/2015
