Both my sons love it here! The Coaches are patient, skilled, and make learning fun while teaching discipline and respect. They both have gained confidence, focus, and great skills. We also appreciate the sense of community here. The kids support each other, celebrate each other’s progress, and learn valuable life lessons! Thank you Coach Joseph and the others! I highly recommend
What makes this place special is the sense of family. Everyone—from brand-new white belts to seasoned black belts—treats each other with respect and encouragement. Over the years, I’ve not only improved my own skills, but I’ve also had the privilege of becoming one of the coaches, teaching judo alongside Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.
Having zero jiujitsu experience, GFV was the first gym I had tried. Initially I signed up my 9 yr old son to train and have an outlet, but after watching a few classes I quickly realized I wanted to get into it myself. A year later and I still love it! Its not easy, but training is rewarding in so many ways and I highly recommend checking it out. Joseph the owner is a great teacher, and his other instructors are great as well. Especially if you are looking for a place for your kids to train, you won't find better than gfv!
