"I do NOT recommend this place. I called and asked to speak with the owner / manager. The person who answered was very abrupt/rude and would not give me an opportunity to say anything of substance. (I think I was able to tell him my name). I feel bad for others (like my son, who has Asperger's) who have had to deal with this guy. I wish I'd had the opportunity to speak to the guy who acts so nice when responding to other reviews and not the horrible guy that answered my call."

"Today our 4 year old son did a drop in free class to see if this would be a good fit from him. From the initial phone conversation, the venue to the actual class was nothing but a great experience! The instructors were so helpful and informative for the parents and there were 3 instructors for the mat munchkins 4-5 year olds class of about 12 children which gave all the children the attention they needed and the instructors were so great with the kids also. The venue was very clean; you can tell they take great pride in their establishment. My husband and I have been looking with trial and error trying to find something to get our son involved with to give him structure , a sense of being a part of something and have fun. We couldn't be more happy with this drop in class. Our son immediately said he wanted to go back and said he had so much fun. So, it looks like we're signing him up! We would recommend Lineage BJJ to any parent who is looking for getting their child in something fun and rewarding!"

"I had an incredible experience at Lineage Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. The instructor demonstrated remarkable ability, providing thorough and patient guidance in each class I attended. His expertise was evident, & he fostered a supportive and safe environment for students of all levels. Kevin was intuitive but still took the time to understand individual goals and limitations, ensuring a personalized learning experience. He made learning enjoyable and comfortable for everyone. The camaraderie between students was a standout feature of this school. The sense of community and support among the members was palpable. I was just a drop in from out of town, but I felt welcomed and encouraged by fellow practitioners. Whether you're a beginner or an advanced student, the positive atmosphere is infectious, creating an environment that promotes growth and camaraderie. Overall, this Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu school excels in instructor ability, care for the students, and fostering a strong sense of camaraderie.

"I am having a fantastic experience with Lineage. Jim, the owner, has created a phenomenal culture here of kindness, consideration, inclusiveness, courage, safety, and respect for each student and teacher. I am a 50 year old, 5’2” 120 lb woman starting Jiu Jitsu for the first time. At any age or size this can be both humbling and intimidating, and everyone I have worked with at Lineage has been encouraging, patient, respectful, and helped me feel safe as I learn. It’s been a phenomenal experience and I so appreciate the transparency, teaching style, leadership, and camaraderie of the team here. Thanks gang!"
