Patriot Jiu-Jitsu

"Went with my husband to Patriot Jiu-Jitsu on our vacation and learned a lot. Coach Dwight was extremely informative and a great teacher. When in Utah again we’ll for sure stop by and train again."

"At 70 years of age, I was a bit hesitant to start training in Jiu Jitsu, but it was something I wanted to learn and felt it would be good for me. I evaluated the three closest BJJ training facilities and after visiting the first two and watching their classes, I was discouraged. I was afraid I might get injured and concerned about my physical limitations. I contacted Dwight Hargett at Patriot Jiu Jitsu and he invited me to come in for an initial private lesson at no charge to see what the activity was all about. He put me completely at ease, and I started training with him and his assistants in January of 2023. Dwight and all of the other students are extremely respectful of each other and there is a great camaraderie where we train as a team and encourage each other. There are no big egos there and although I am not as young as the other men and women who train there, I don't feel left out. I've also had the chance to watch Dwight train the kids who participate in BJJ there each week. They are obviously having a great time and are extremely enthusiastic about the sport. I highly recommend Patriot Jiu Jitsu if you are looking for a great place to train."

"I started going here for the women's self defense class and now my son, husband and I are taking classes. This is good for all ages! My son is learning discipline, how to listen to instructions, making friends and is getting stronger! He LOVES it. He comes home and teaches his little sister what he's learned. My husband loves what he is learning and we practice with each other. Dwight is a great teacher with real life experience and skill. Definitely come in and see for yourself!"

"Coach Dwight and his family are an amazing asset to our community. He is putting in the hard work and hours to teach our youth the value and benefits that come from hard work and determination. He is teaching them to love and appreciate our freedom, and to stand up for others. While they are learning these things, they are getting countless hours of physical activity and sunshine, in a supportive and safe environment. They are learning to defend themselves, develop patience and discipline, and most importantly, to be kind, but that you do not have to be victimized."

"I have a couple years of experience with Dwight as a coach. He brings skill and fun to his classes. While the bulk of my experience with him in California, I did visit Patriot Jiu-Jitsu in Utah and attended his classes under his new gym. Once again his classes are fun and informative. He has created a culture in his gym that is welcoming and family friendly. If you are starting your Jiu-Jitsu journey or looking for a great place expand your training Patriot Jiu-Jitsu is the place for you when in Parowan, Cedar City or St. George."
