Discipline drives everything we do. From showing up on tough days to staying focused on our goals, we believe in the power of hard work and consistency. It’s the key to growth both in Jiu Jitsu and in life.

Vibe like no other gym! Everyone is awesome to train with. You can have your casual playful rolls for leaning to the more intense competition rolls as needed. All the coaches teach modern jiu jitsu as well as the basic fundamentals to get you to where you want to be. If you’re a competitor or just a hobbyist this academy will suit both needs. I’m so grateful for this gym. They’ve given me a home the last couple of years for me and my kids. Everyone's family here.

Testimonial Rating

I've been coming to Lion Heart for more than a few months now and the atmosphere has such a family vibe. Everyone is always so light hearted and jovial--and the instructors are very knowledgeable. Several of my classmates are placing in the top 3 in BJJ tournaments so it's super impressive how everyone keeps it light and yet the focus and skill building is undeniable. I can see myself coming here for years. If you're looking for a martial arts fam and building sharp skills--your search is over.

Testimonial Rating

I love the positive, encouraging environment Jeremy (the owner) has established here!  We enrolled our little boy in classes, and we couldn't be happier with the patience and encouragement he gets from his coaches.  Watching him grow and learn has been so inspirational, that I signed myself up for classes too!  If you're looking for a community to join, look no further!
