Imperial Training Center

"Imperial Training Center is the best gym ever! I have been a member for 2 and a half years and I enjoy every training session with Coach Dan and the rest of the instructors."

"Coming from another gym in town I had waited over a year to write a compartive review. Dan is very knowledgeable and continues to improve his knowledge with more modern moves. Even after years of training I stepped into a Beginner BJJ class and ultimately had to unlearn everything I knew about a simple armbar to learn a better, more progressive armbar. My experience in each class has been very similar to my first one. I wish I had just started here to begin with. I have two children that also train and are also blown away by the level of instruction and that a black belt actually takes the time to train them. Something not seen at the other gyms we've been to. I highly recommend giving Imperial a try."

"I joined six months ago; I am impressed by how the class is focused on practical applications of jiujitsu with plenty of time to roll and test new skills. I am amazed by what a strong sense of community exists in this group, and how dedicated the entire class is to helping each other learn. The adult class includes women and men from late teens to people like me in their 40’s. They have a fantastic kid’s class. I highly recommend joining if you have ever wanted to try jiujitsu."

"We joined Imperial back in 2017 when our 4 kids started training in the youth program. They have absolutely LOVED it and have grown tremendously in the program. My wife and I also started training about 2 years ago and have come to love the relationships we have built. Imperial is our second family and we have a lot of fun while training as well. The coaches are amazing and really take the time to ensure proper techniques are being followed. If you’re looking for a great place to learn martial arts, Imperial is your place."

"Imperial Training Center is very professional place, and at the same time it’s a place to learn and have fun! They are very professional when it comes to safety, because currently we’re in a middle of a pandemic(COVID-19), and Imperial Training Center is taking great precautions in keeping everyone safe. They have plenty of room to train and keep everyone safely six feet apart, while wearing our mask in between training classes. When walking in the door your temperature is taken and hand sanitizer is given to you. The place is always sanitized, wiped down, and extremely clean. The environment is a great place to learn new techniques and skills. Imperial Training Center is a great environment , because the coach’s observe you while your training and they give suggestions on how you can improve your form, technique, skill or stance. The coaches also explain their logic and reasoning behind each improvement or new techniques and skills. This is a great place for someone who wants to try something new and challenging. Especially for me... I strive to always have small goals and taking Brazilian Ju Jitzu allows me to see my progress, such as ranking up in belts. I enjoy taking classes here because I feel like when I am training I am being my authentic self. The Muay Thai classes is a form of cardio and I find that more enjoyable than the basic running. I also like the aspect of Muay Thai because it’s teaches you real life combat skills. Overall I think it’s a phenomenal place in Rochester Minnesota, and I am blessed to be a member of the Imperial Training Center community and I’m grateful to be given the opportunity to train here. Thank you! -Cleveland Nguyen"
