Reviews
"Updated 6 month Review: Shortly after the open mat I decided to switch to coming the Black Flag full time. In the last 6 months I've see considerable growth in my game. Aaron is deeply involved in the ecological approach to jiu jitsu which focuses on teaching you how to move, over teaching technique, so our comp classes are heavily focused on that. Then you include the highly technical black belt Kenny Martin who is always willing to go above and beyond to help you with any issues you're running in to. We have white belts who have been training for a few months winning BJJ tournaments. I would HIGHLY recommend anyone interested in getting better faster should come here. It is not easy, but the results you're looking for are often hidden in the work you're avoiding. Previous Review: Came to Black Flag for the open mat to get some good rounds in. Aaron and Kenny rolled out the red carpet. This is a big facility, and they seem to be focused on making it better and better. Top notch jiu jitsu, everyone I sparred with was highly technical at all belt levels. I’d highly recommend training here if you want grade A training from the best black belt in the area."
"You guys are GREAT! Good Jiu Jitsu, friendly environment, excellent seminar this past weekend! Thank you from Zoo BJJ in Missoula, MT. Join us any time you’re in town! Katie Eriksson"
"Just finished a workout with Black Flag BJJ and I stayed for the Judo session afterward. WOW , elite level training going on here . I am 58 years old and from out of state, and they were super controlled, technical and respectful. Thanks guys !"
"Exceptional gym with a great environment. This gym is a great choice wether you’re a 285 pound man or 110 pound women, black flag has partners for you who are happy to help you learn and improve. Open mats are the busiest day of the week but also the best time to drop in and meet some new people."
"Awesome place to train, great environment and coaches/instructors are amazing very knowledgeable and friendly they treat you like family here. Very welcoming to everyone even people who are beginners/new. I Highly recommended coming here if you’re interested in getting into Jiujitsu to either learn self defense or to compete."
