I started doing private tumbling lessons at the edge. The coach would not spot my back handspring and just made me do drills and condition the entire time. I felt as if it was a waste of both my time and my money. I understand that drills are important but when paying for a private you should be spotted. I can do drills at home. I have now switched my tumbling classes to dynamic gymnastics. There is more space and equipment and they agree it is necessary to spot.

I have been training here since mid 2014. I started learning jiujitsu at 30 and was skeptical about starting at this age but the coaches and the other athletes made me feel comfortable and encouraged me to keep coming. Fast forward to 2018 and I’m still here multiple days a week as my work schedule allows me and still loving every class. This isn’t the time of school that breezes through promotions and belts, the coaches take their time in teaching and making sure their students know what they need to know in Self-defense, Jiujitsu, and/or Muay Thai. Although I am not a tumbler, I can tell

My sister and I started training Jiu Jitsu here a few months ago and it has been a very fun and interesting challenge. The coaches are caring and truly want you to succeed in your chosen art. I have watching the kids tumbling as well and they seem to enjoy it. The gym is kept clean and the employees and owner are all very friendly. If you are looking for an extra curricular here in lynchburg then check out the edge!
