My daughter and I loved our visit to X2 this week while visiting Minneapolis. We had great instruction, drilling, and rolling, and were able to have good rounds with people of lots of belt levels. I would recommend X2 to anyone looking to add Brazilian JiuJitsu to their lives or checking out a new gym--the gym was welcoming to everyone, and had very safe training and a pleasant atmosphere. Thank you!

X2 is a fantastic place to train Brazilian jiu jitsu, the organization is female lead and it is a safe place for everyone to train. I am so grateful for the team here. The class sizes allow for personal correction from Professor Gina and her amazing team of coaches. Her teaching style is direct, easy to follow and there is plenty of time for drilling new material.

This is a great place to train Brazilian jiu jitsu; safe, clean and female friendly. Prof G and her team make sure that everyone gets constructive feedback so we students can maximize our class time. This is a positive and supportive environment for training with a fun team.

This is a place with integrity and discipline. Gina is inspiring and welcoming but won't put up with people who aren't taking her classes seriously. No matter who you are or why you want to take classes here, if you are dedicated to learning, this is a new home for you. I loved taking classes here and have suggested it to all of my friends.

Professor Franssen is amazing! Great instructor that truly cares for every one of her students. I have full confidence in referring everyone in to train with her. Do yourself a favor and check this place out.

I've been training BJJ for over 13 years and, as a black belt myself, I can attest to Professor Gina's skills. While the professor is amazing you'll find that the community of people there are exceptional. X2 is one of my favorite places to train and teach at in the Twin Cities. Check them out!

I am not a member of this gym. I can tell you Gina is a amazing instructor and person. My daughter (7) met her at Girls in Gi's and Gina and my daughter bonded. Since the coach Gina has called my daughter every… week to check on how she is doing and how she is doing in Jiu-Jutsu. This lady is a class A act and you will not regret being coached by her. Thanks for being a good coach to Alana.

Gina Franssen is an awesome BJJ instructor as well as an inspiration not only to female BJJ practitioners but BJJ practitioners in general. She has an awesome welcoming attitude and will make you feel like family after your first meeting.
