"I’ve been coming here for about 6 months. This place has changed my life! Not only did I pick the best place to get healthy and learn BJJ, but I also found a family here. I spent my entire week waiting for the next class. Wes is very knowledgeable and well respected in the community and is an awesome instructor! Come join us!!"
"I had been wanting to train BJJ for years and finally took the leap at the start of 2023. I was nervous to dive in, but all of the nerves vanished as soon as I stepped into Category Five. Everyone here is unbelievably welcoming, friendly, and actively seeking ways to help you improve at every class. Whether you're looking for a competitive outlet, a practical method for self-defense, or just a fun way to stay in shape, you will find that all at C5."
