I went to Paul Tom's academy after over a year off from training. I had never trained here before and I was pleasantly surprised by the kind and welcoming atmosphere. If you want a place to start, restart, or continue your bjj journey, this is an excellent place.

I do Jiu-Jitsu at Soma In Idaho and was visiting a friend down in American Fork for the week. My instructor in Idaho recommended Paul Tom’s Academy of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. I was welcomed in by such a great group of people. Paul Tom himself is such a nice guy and it’s clear why his Academy is so successful. Highly recommend to anyone wanting to learn Jiu-Jitsu the right way.

You’ll never feel forced or coerced into joining. You are welcome to come and watch unlike some schools that don’t allow spectators unless you sign up.
I was able to take a free week of class without feeling pressure to sign up. The instructors were kind and not only courteous, but they knew their stuff.
My kids loved it as well. It is a great school.
I ended up signing up and now my kids do it too.

I've trained at many different studios over my 5 years of BJJ, and Paul Tom's is top notch. When I first arrived as a blue belt I knew it was a legit school when many of the white belts were kicking my butt. Professor Tom and the other teachers are all extremely knowledgeable about Jiu Jitsu, and you will learn a ton from these human BJJ encyclopedias. Also, classes are a nice mix of technique and live rolling, you will not leave wanting more. One of the things I like most about Paul Tom's Academy of BJJ is the sense of community there. Amazing guys and gals that roll there, and I have made many

Paul Tom knows his stuff and, even better, knows how to teach it! He is really passionate about true self-defense and follows the teachings of Master Flavio Behring. Also, he's just very funny and super nice.
