“I've been registered at Midwest for the past year and a half and have been loving it! The program is curriculum based with a specific focus on the fundamentals. I was hesitant to join based on my skill level, but students and instructors are inclusive of all ranks. There are a wide range of classes available for all abilities at various times of the week. If you are passionate about learning BJJ from a world class competitor and instructor, I would hands down recommend Midwest!”

“My name is Jair Mckinnon. I am a 4th stripe blue belt with GFT. I started training at Midwest about 1 year ago. I've trained at a few gyms over the years, but had trouble finding somewhere that gave me all the training I needed to reach my goals. When I needed extra training Midwest was happy to accommodate me. When the program expanded last year lead by coach Andrew Hanson it was a no brainer to start training there full time. Soon after we joined GFT under CJ Hollet. I now have the option to train multiple times per day with structured classes. You couldn't ask for better training partners. Everyone is inclusive and friendly. Midwest has built a culture around training safe to protect everyone from injuries. If you are a beginner looking to start your Jiu-jitsu journey or an experienced competitor this is the gym for you.”

"I decided to try BJJ because I was looking to try something different than weight-lifting which had been my exercise of choice for years. Unexpectedly, I discovered a new passion, gained an incredible amount of self-confidence, developed new friendships, and pushed myself to new mental and physical heights. I have been training at Midwest Jiu-Jitsu for about a year now under the instruction of Coach Andrew Hanson and I would recommend this place to EVERYONE. Big or small, short or tall, young or old, I know you would have an absolute blast learning BJJ and also challenging yourself in a totally different way. 10/10 would recommend!”
