My daughter absolutely loves Team Lawton. The teaching is great and it's not just a gym but a family. As a parent the communication is great but what I love the most is seeing how confident my daughter has become.

When I first moved to Maine at the end of 2019, I visited a few gyms. After one class it was clear Jarod Lawton was head and shoulders above the rest. Both him and his wife Marcela are fantastic instructor. I’ve been training there ever since. Top notch JiuJitsu, amazing team, great community.

I've been training here for about 5 months and I can't say enough great things about Jarod and Marcela and the atmosphere they have built at this gym. Everyone is extremely welcoming, friendly and professional from the staff to the members. I'm definitely fortunate to have this as my local BJJ gym and recommend it to anyone interested in the sport!

I was referred to Team Lawton by my brother, Joey Brennan, when I expressed interest in utilizing a local gym for weight training. I have been using the gym for several months now and recently signed up for the women’s self defense course. Marcela and Juliette put on a great course, hands on training in a comfortable environment. Team Lawton is a welcoming community and if you’re interested in learning self defense or want to start training in Jiu jitsu, this is definitely the place to do it.
