Martial Arts Schools in Ann Arbor

“The no gi bjj program is strong with a good instructor. The school is very friendly and welcoming. I recommend this place for everyone of all skill levels, but especially for newer people.“

“Taqqee is an amazing instructor! He makes the class fun and enjoyable and you really learn a lot from him. If you’re thinking about signing up for a class, you definitely should - you won’t regret it!“

“Updated 2024- Great place to train! Especially impressed with the atmosphere for women; lots of ladies training jiu jitsu and very positive attitudes. Nice space in the locker rooms too. Students aren’t overly aggressive and upper belts are generally helpful. Professor is extremely knowledgeable and follows a regular curriculum which makes it easy to learn new techniques and refine old ones into an actual system. Facility is clean and staff is excellent. Amazing family atmosphere; my partner and I have a young child and have to tag team watching them while we train and everyone is super helpful and welcoming. A few things to be aware of: it is pricey- you don’t get that many classes for such a high price tag (although I also understand Ann Arbor rent...), they typically don’t allow people to come to open mat from other gyms in the immediate area (mainly for liability reasons), and you can only wear IBJFF approved gi colors (blue, black, white). Still, would definitely recommend it!“
