I’ve been training at Quest for a year and a half, and can’t say enough positive things about the curriculum, instructors, and community. In that time, I have attained my blue belt, made many friends, and lost over 50 pounds in the process. If you’re looking for an inclusive and welcoming space to learn martial arts and have a lot of fun, look no further.

My 7.5 y.o. kid began lessons there recently, and I'm very impressed. This is the first extracurricular group activity….loves it, I love the discipline & control and I love how the instructors keep the kids engaged & on task, kindly yet firmly, redirecting as necessary, and recognizing kids efforts to behave. My kid's a well-behaved perfectionist, and it helps feel calm & safe when teachers are calm & kind to kids who have difficulty behaving. There's a nice community/family vibe there, and we can't wait to have birthday there this summer!

Quest Jiu-Jitsu and Self-Defense is hands down one of the best places ever! My son and I both train in Jiu-Jitsu here, and we absolutely love it. The energy, community, and instruction are unparalleled.
Hardee and Rachel Merritt, the dynamic duo behind Quest, are truly remarkable. Hardee is a phenomenal role model—not only is he an incredible martial artist and teacher, but he’s also someone I deeply respect and look up to. He’s kind-hearted, patient, and amazing with the kids, yet also a total badass that everyone admires. His ability to balance toughness with encouragement creates an environment where students of all ages thrive.
