Super chilled gym with a great instructor. I was in town for a few days and i was very happy to drop in for a noon class with gordon. We trained back-take from closed guard. It was great to meet all those friendly people!

I did the intro Muy Thai class for 5 weeks to start the year off, and it went great! I learned a ton and got a good workout at the same time. I'm looking forward to continuing with Muy Thai. Everyone at the gym has been welcoming and professional.

I took the BJJ Basics class. My instructors were amazing - very helpful, good at correcting your technique in an encouraging way, and overall providing a welcoming yet challenging atmosphere. It was cool that we built on things we used over the course, which culminated in a spar session to give us a sense of what real BJJ is like. Definitely will be coming back!

Trained here a month while passing through town.... I’ve got nothing but nice things to say. Gordon owner = super chill, super crafty guard. Corey = morning no gi coach, stud of an instructor ?

Trained here while visiting the area on vacation. Gordon is a great instructor and just a really cool guy, and everyone there (staff and students) was friendly and welcoming. Facility is clean, spacious, and well-equipped. Family-friendly and beginner-friendly, but high-level guys (e.g. Tim, Dave) and girls (e.g. Emily) on the mats too. Very highly recommended.Full disclosure: I started BJJ in 2003 and am a 1st degree IBJJF-certified Black Belt. I've trained in many schools with many people over the years, from all different lineages. The people at CVL BJJ are top-notch. If you are looking for BJJ schools in the area, do yourself a favor and check this one out.

Everything you could possibly want from a BJJ school! If you're considering signing up, do so. You'll be glad you did.

I took the beginner class for Jiu Jitsu. The class was very good, having no prior experience in martial arts I was a bit nervous.. Jacob and Sean were great instructors!! Very good at explaining and demonstrating techniques. Highly recommended to anyone wishing to try jiu jitsu!! Awesome group with a positive atmosphere!!

This is a great school all around. Not only do they tailor bjj classes to all levels, but the Gordon and the rest of staff make sure to keep things fun, safe and take all necessary precautions. I started here as a beginner and felt welcome from the get go, was allowed to learn to roll at my own pace, and the upper belts in the gym were more than willing to show me the ropes. Would recommend anyone interested in bjj or just getting a different type of workout to check it out!
