Hands down one of the top three best parenting decisions we've made for our littles and myself! Every class the kids and I are learning something new and it's a very professional/comfortable/welcoming environment. Honestly, if you're even thinking about it for yourself or your kids - try a class!!
We were looking for an activity to bring more structure for our boy (5) who was fairly reserved (and thus hard to make friends) and our girl (7) who is very outgoing and needed a better outlet for her energy. We've found Ares BJJ Sanford to fit perfectly for both needs! From the first class they took

Wonderful place to train! My kids love it here. They've been training here for 2 years. It definitely teaches them to respect themselves, respect others, and build confidence in themselves. The coaches have great attitudes but are stern and respectful. Great price for the quality of training. They are always pushing the adults and kids to do better. Love the family oriented atmosphere!

Such a great gym — solid family environment and the people are fantastic. One of my favorite things Professor Taniel teaches is how to strive not only to be a black belt in BJJ, but a black belt in life. This place has very quickly become family.

My daughter first started Bjj at Ares Bjj Sanford. This gym has the most amazing professor and owners. The discipline that is instilled in all the children, while also learning teamwork and respect is phenomenal. We have since moved and my daughter continually talks about how she misses this gym. I cannot say enough good things about this gym.

This is the go-to jiujitsu gym in NC! Professor Taniel, Coach Brad, and Bill run a great program for kids and adults. This gym provides great value for the price, offering evening classes five nights a week and open mat on Saturday. If you’re looking to compete, Professor Taniel’s approach will get you ready. It’s obvious that this place cares about their students. The family atmosphere and team focus is what sets this gym apart from everywhere else.
