Took my nine year old to the 6-9 year old class at 4:30pm. The instructor, can't remember his name, was really good with the kids. Good place for kids to learn some discipline and structure, meet friends, and gain confidence. Not to mention invaluable self defense skills. Really reasonably priced and offers a free trial period. PS: There is a waiting list depending on age groups, I don't know all the details.

The best gym in the area hands down. Very family and team oriented. The instructor is top notch and thorough when explaining small details. Every question is answered and each student's personal journey is never taken lightly. The actual facility is new and the state-of-the-art mats made it my first and only choice. Honestly couldn't find a better place to continue my journey in the art of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.

I'm just visiting and got to roll with the people at Silverback! I was welcomed in and got to experience a solid night's roll with a bunch of great people! Definitely coming back if I visit the area again.
