Brett and Sandra run one of the best martial arts schools in the area. They are so good to the kids, and my kids love going to their Judo classes. Highly recommend to anyone interested in martial arts!

I can't say enough good things about Elevate, Sandra & Brett. My son has been a part of Elevate for a year now. Sandra and Brett have been welcoming and caring towards him since he started. They have taught him many lessons, both on and off the mat. They have helped his confidence grow, supported him through some of his hardest moments and have been great role models for him. He loves the kids classes and looks forward to going every week. I can't thank them enough for everything they've done for us. I highly recommend Elevate.

I Enrolled my son when he was seven. I think the most telling endorsement is he absolutely loves going. It is a commitment (we go 3x per week) but he enjoys it very much. He has a lot of fun, gets a fair amount of physical activity, and is held to the high standards that the senseis model. They do not “baby” the younger kids. They teach and practice age appropriate judo/jujitsu while mandating accountability. It is definitely a contact sport. Not sure what I was expecting but they jump right into it - but they do so in a safe, fun way. The instructors are all wonderful but also impressive are the more “senior” students who step into a mentor role; you can see and hear them coaching the newer students. I would highly recommend Elevate.

I highly recommend the team at Elevate. They not only focus on developing the skills of each student, but also on their personal growth. Having witnessed the transformational work they are capable of, I can confidently say that if you are looking for a place to receive top-notch instruction and grow as an individual, look no further than Elevate.

Top Notch training in both Judo and Jujutsu. Teachers are knowledgeable, capable, and very helpful. Their martial arts lineage is impressive. The students are just as helpful and good-natured. If you are looking for solid training with solid people, you’ll be happy at Elevate

I am so thankful I found Elevate! As a dad with active kids, my schedule doesn’t allow the time that it used to. I found that not only did Elevate have a variety of class opportunities, Sensei Brett tailored my lessons to me and my goals. He is a master on how to read the room and make the most out of every player. I do not compete, but other class members do. He knows how to help you as an individual when you ask. I drive 40 minutes past other dojos to come here and I look forward to it every single time! Add on the fact that he has coaches like Joel to help his players and he is creating an atmosphere for everyone to learn and grow. As you can see, I just can’t say enough about this place!!

Best place around to train judo and jiu Jitsu. I’ve been training at Elevate for over two years. Every class is high energy but at the same time perfectly structured for beginners to advanced players!

I was in RI for a month this summer and being relatively new to Jiu Jitsu (10 months) was looking for a school to avoid a gap in my training. Reading other positive reviews I initially did a drop in on a Sat class taught by Sensei Brett. After class there was an open mat where I watched students practice their skills. After a couple rounds went by and I didnt get asked to roll I started to leave when Brett asked if I wanted to train. He was in semi formal dress clothes on his way to a family event I believe. I told him I didnt want to be a bother and before I knew it he had his gi on and rolled with me for a good 20 to 30 minutes giving me some great advice along the way. From this very first class to the end of my months time at Elevate Brett, all the higher and lower belts at the school showed this same generosity to me. I learned alot and believe the classes are a great balance of being technically challenging and fun at the same time. I look forward to coming back whenever I can and can’t recommend Elevate Judo & Jiu Jitsu highly enough!!!

Sensei Brett and Sensei Sandra are fantastic, passionate, knowledgeable, and patient instructors. I have been looking for years for a place to learn jiu jitsu, but timing and class schedules have always been a limiting factor. Also, getting 5 family members to commit to the same activity is rare (dare I say impossible?). We all took the intro class. Afterwards, the kids couldn't stop talking about how much fun they had. Following the first few months, my wife and I have noticed positive improvements in their levels of discipline and confidence.

Very open and welcoming group of people within the BJJ and Judo community. All of the instructors I have met and worked with have been knowledgeable and helpful. Kids classes are always fun and engaging, and the adult classes are filled with knowledge and great people to learn and grow with. Highly recommend checking this place out.

What a great experience we had here. Everyone was super friendly and so helpful giving me exactly the tips and tricks I needed to work on. We visited during Christmas break and the gym was actually closed but Brett and his team gathered a group of people for my family and I to train! We couldn’t have been happier walking away from here and cannot wait to come back to visit.
