I’m from out of town and was visiting my brother and I dropped in on a beginner class. Everyone was so welcoming. Mike gave great instructions and took time showing and helping me out.

We've been at Strong Heart Academy for nine months with my daughter, and she's grown so much. As a young girl, in her confidence, her toughness, and work ethic, Mike and the whole team do an incredible job at Strong Heart Academy. That goes way beyond jiu-jitsu and just makes them better people, and they have fun while doing it. Highly, highly recommend to anybody wanting to get their kids in a great sport that goes way beyond athletics.

I have been "collecting" studios as I travel. My experience at String Heart was beyond fantastic, from the quick response when I inquired if I could drop in for a class, to how welcoming the participants were, to put a huge nice cherry on top, Kalif was a great instructor. He gave me some fantastic tips on finishing a guillotine and doing a proper Darce! If you are local, definitely enroll here! highly recommended. If you are traveling, it's worth checking them out!
