Don't just take our word for it - hear from our students and their families
Alan Windham
"My son and I have been training at Hendo BJJ for almost four years now, and it's truly become a second home for us. What sets it apart isn't just the solid foundation in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu passed down through the Gracie lineage, or even the technical expertise of Professor Larry and his team—it's the sense of community and the genuine care they show for each student's growth, both on and off the mat."
Antonio Chavez
"I've been training at Hendo for over two and a half years, and I have nothing but good things to say. Professor Larry focuses on traditional Jiu-Jitsu and practical self-defense. Classes typically start with technique instruction, followed by partner drilling to reinforce what you've learned."
Elana Flanigan
"Our kids began taking Jiu Jitsu at this gym a year ago. It wasn't long after they began, that my husband and I also joined because our kids were enjoying it so much. Professor Larry, his team of qualified coaches and the other members have created such a welcoming and supportive environment. It's been an incredible journey for our whole family."
