Fun place to train BJJ - frequent flyer when it comes to dropping in. Immensely enjoy Trevor's style as someone that is on the smaller side. He has a Very Unique way of approaching body mechanics and changing technique for different bodies + styles. Excellent place to drop in. Everyone is very friendly and is close to lots of other fun DTSJ happenings.

I travel for business and from time to time will look to train while i am on the road. I called ahead ad got a quick response from "Gumby" the head instructor. Gumby gave me all the info i needed to drop in for a mid week no gi training session. Alan the instructor at the Downtown location was very welcoming and the small group of 6 had a great workout learning new skills and honing our jiujitsu. They say "Iron Sharpens Iron" i walked away a little sharper! Thanks
