We not only empower our students through self-defense, so that they can grow to be the best version of themselves, but also Impact the community around us. Our goal is to educate our students about Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu with a focus on self-defense. While many academies focus on the sport aspect of BJJ, which emphasizes getting points, holding an opponent down, and winning a match, that is not our main goal.
Even though we agree that the sport aspect is fun, it will not help you when there's an attacker 20+ lbs heavier than you on the streets. At Impact Self-Defense, our main objective is not to create World Jiu-Jitsu champions, but to make sure all of our students can properly defend themselves and their loved ones.

Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is the martial art designed for a smaller person to be able to defend themselves from a bigger, stronger opponent. No matter what athletic ability you have, Jiu-Jitsu is right for you. In this class you will be learning how to defend yourself from when an attacker throws a punch to an attacker having a weapon in hand.
Always make sure your nails are trim, uniforms are washed, no bad breath and wear deodorant. No one wants a smelly partner. If your child starts to cry weather its from an injury or them getting frustrated in a position. Let the instructors handle it. What is Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu? Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu originated in Japan which later migrated to Brazil.

Jesse the owner is a very patient person which is amazing when working with the younger kiddos like our son. He has a way of teaching that makes it easy for everyone to follow along. If no man left behind was a person it would be Jesse for sure. For the amount of days he has the tiny tots class the price is reasonable for it to be Monday-Thursday. The classes are moderately sized to keep the experiences pure and intimate. Thank you for giving my little guy confidence.

Came to Impact to learn a bit of self defense before leaving for college, and I can 100% recommend. I only did about a month of classes but I learned a ton. Jesse is a very good teacher and explains everything clearly with demonstrations, also a very kind and patient person. Prices are affordable and worth it. Great experience !

Started going to this gym a couple of months ago for Jiu Jitsu. Jesse is a down-to-earth, humble instructor. There's plenty of different sessions, so that even with my busy schedule, I'm able to find a class to go to. The students at the gym are welcoming and challenged me without demoralizing me. Jesse's demeanor is especially conducive for kids exploring self-defense. When my daughter turns 3, I'm definitely enrolling her.

I Love this Gym! Everything about it is perfect, the gym is extremely clean, the trainer is amazing and the prices are the lowest that I have ever seen. Whether you are a beginner, intermediate, or a black belt the trainer (Jesse) is amazing at adapting to the student's way of learning. I recommend anyone reading this review to try the gym out, you won't regret it!

I’ve been training here almost a year now and prior to this I had no MMA/BJJ experience. In my time training here never did I feel uncomfortable asking questions or felt out of place. The environment and members are very welcoming and I now consider them my extended family. The owner and instructor Jesse is not only patient and understanding but just over all a great and amazing person. I couldn’t see my self training anywhere else. I highly recommend this place to learn self defense or just to simply get a great fun work out in. It’s a very clean facility. The 1 week free trial is great

I have been training at Impact for about 3 months and my experience here has been great! Prior to joining I had no experience in BJJ or MMA but Jesse gladly showed me all the foundations I needed to succeed.
Jesse is a very patient and encouraging teacher, he never hesitates to help a struggling student nor does he get frustrated if you don’t get it the first couple of times. The workouts/classes always leave me sweaty and I can definitely feel myself getting stronger! Furthermore, the community at the gym is so welcoming and accepting. Everyone is ready to learn and grow with one another regardless

If you are looking safe and positive environment to learn Self-defense/MMA/BJJ this is the place to be. The head instructor Jesse is well taught in multiple facets of martial arts but his ability to connect and teach people/children are what truly set him apart. Training here has helped me control my weight, temper my sleeping schedule, build confidence, and get fit all while learning life long skills that could potentially save myself or a loved one. He has one week free trials and I highly recommend trying it out.

I absolutely love training at Impact Self-Defense! I have been training BJJ here for almost a year now and Jesse is the ultimate instructor. Not only is he a professional in his craft, but he is still an avid learner for modern BJJ techniques and is very open-minded. The atmosphere at Impact is super friendly and everybody is trying to get better together. There are no "gym-bullies" and it is a great place to train for everyone at all levels. I highly recommend checking Impact Self-Defense out if you have any interest in cardio/strength training, self-defense, MMA or BJJ!
