Garcia Jiu-Jitsu

I can’t say enough about Great Lakes!! The family atmosphere here is unbelievable. From the moment we walked in, we were treated like family. The skill level of all the coaches has transformed my kids dramatically. They make it very affordable for a family to train here. We do both BJJ and kickboxing throughout the week. It’s becoming our second home and we plan on being here forever!!

Such a welcoming environment and family friendly! My son and daughter love it at Great Lakes Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. They always leave smiling, and have made some great friends. After seeing how much they enjoyed it I decided to try the adult beginners class. It was a great way to be introduced to the sport, and now I participate in the gi and no gi classes. The combat conditioning class is also wonderful and a great workout. As someone with no martial arts experience, I have felt welcomed and challenged which is exactly what I was looking for. All the coaches are wonderful to work with. There have been many other women in the evening classes in different stages of their training, and the more advanced belts have always been helpful to me as a beginner. Everyone I have trained with has been respectful and kind. Their schedule allows you and your family to get the most out of an evening of training. They even offer a homeschool class, which is amazing as a homeschool family. During this class I utilize the gym downstairs while my kids train upstairs, and we all leave happy and tired. Give it a try, you won’t regret it!

Great Lakes Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is absolutely amazing! The coaches are incredible!! And genuinely care about every student’s progress, no matter their experience level. The classes are challenging but awsome, the environment is welcoming and motivating, and you can really see improvement in everyone that goes there. I highly recommend this school to anyone looking to get stronger, learn real self-defense, and become the best verion of yourself!

If you are looking for an awesome place to learn Jiu Jitsu, look no further! Kelly is wonderful with my daughter, carefully explaining moves. As a matter of fact, so is Adam and all the other instructors there, each one is great at helping! Additionally, my daughter is enjoying the kick boxing as well. Super friendly and family oriented, you just can't choose a better place to learn and practice!

Before we tried out Great Lakes we had 4 or 5 other people recommend it to us. After our free trial week our oldest was hooked and his brother was soon to follow. Instructors do a wonderful job meeting the students where they are at and making Great Lakes the place to be for training, for competition and for beginners. The owners are heavily involved in the different levels of instruction as well which we love! 6Stars!!
