Jiu Jitsu Performance Academy

Anytime you are the new student at a gym or in a class it's always a little daunting, especially as an OTA adult student. Professor Spangler and all of the other coaches did an awesome job of making me feel welcome, and informed. They carved out time to provide individual attention along the way to catch me up to students with more experience and knowledge. Everybody is super helpful and willing to get questions answered or show you how to do something. I would highly recommend them to anyone who would like to learn BJJ/grappling.

My daughter joined the level 1 kids class and since the first day she has been treated with nothing but kindness and respect. The class instructors are all so patient and helpful in every aspect. They make the children feel like they are capable of anything and teach them step by step when they need the extra help. Sean and all of his other instructors have been nothing but welcoming to my entire family. I cannot recommend this jiu jitsu academy enough!

Joining coach Sean’s academy has been one of the best decisions I’ve made in a long time!

When I first reached out to him, I was nervous about what the classes would entail, if it was a cutthroat activity where everyone was out to get you, and just the general feeling of anxiety you get from doing something new. After the first class, all of that worry was immediately washed away.

Sean is very receptive to my questions and he has fostered a friendly and informative environment where you know you’re around great people that all have respect for each other. It’s great knowing he takes an active role in ensuring that newcomers and veterans alike are in a safe and productive environment. There’s no need to worry if someone is going to pick you out for being new and try to hurt you.

There’s a lifetime of knowledge to gain from coach Sean and if you’re wanting to replace those lazy weekdays or going out and drinking when you’re bored, I would highly recommend signing up here!

Thanks for everything coach Sean!
