What Our Students Say
Experience our welcoming community firsthand. Here’s what students love about training at Lion Heart Jiu Jitsu.
“I've been training at Lion Heart for about two years. It's good to have a place where people know and care about you as you learn the gentle art of BJJ.
Jason H.
Adult Student
"I have been part of the Lion Heart BJJ community for 6 years now. I started BJJ to get in shape and cut some weight. Now 40 pounds lighter and probably in the best shape of my life at 50 years of age, I see this as a permanent lifestyle. Along this 6 year journey, I have gained a very valuable skill set, but more important I have made some wonderful friends."
