I started here about 3 weeks ago. It was a new thing to adapt coming from powerlifting to BJJ. Everyone here is great! The comrodery amongst everyone makes this place feel like a 2nd home. Thank you to Nelson and Hilary for giving me the opportunity to train and grow with everyone

Okie dokie, so like—pretty solid spot for us fresh lil’ white belts! 🌱 Mild autism brain go brrr 🌀 so I prob asked too many questions lol, and maybe that made some tension ‘cause it looked like I didn’t understand. (I did tho! Just locked my thing in the car like they asked 👍).
🔥 Things I loved:
✨ Gis feel NICEEE 🥋💕 sugoi comfy~
✨ Instructors = giga knowledge bombs 💥📚 sensei brain power go boom~
✨ Website clean + easy sched—no cursed scrolls needed 🖥️📜
✨ Training partners = MVP angels 🏆 patient, kind, absolute LEGENDS 😭🤜💖🤛
🤷♀️ Not-so-kawaii: someone literally said they wanted to slam me on the floor, break my bones, and call me names. 😅🚫 bruhhh not poggers. Idk, maybe it’s just me, but that vibe was sus. 👀 pls no bully T_T
And ngl… I didn’t bother to continue after my trial + 1 month. 🗓️ It was just a “for consideration” month ‘cause I wasn’t sure this dojo was the one. But they got kinda salty about it, like “omg too cheap??” 😭👉👈 bruh pls, I’m just a smol bean trying to vibe (≧◡≦) not a walking piggy bank 💸🐷. With that attitude, I dipped—even tho I had time left. Not worth losing braincells tbh. 🧠💀✨
✨ Lowkey sad tho, ‘cause I really wanted a wholesome experience. Feels like they took it a lil too far. But hey—rolling was still fun, I learned some stuffs, and glad I got to try it! 💫 No hard feelings tho, life goes on uwu 🌀✌️
Would I recommend? Depends on your vibe check 👀. For me, it was a mixed bag but mostly okay.
We’re glad you had some positive experiences here. For clarity: when you arrived in body armor and brought a firearm onto the premises, we asked you to lock it in your car or locker for everyone’s safety. You argued about this request, which created tension with the team.
Our staff and members remained patient and respectful throughout. As you no longer train with us, we wish you the best moving forward.

I’m very happy that my daughter chose this place. My grandson loves it so much. All the coaches are great. Alex is very upbeat and friendly. He says hello to the kids that come through the doors by name. Lucas is a good coach and has a nice smile. Both he and Corey are firm with the kids when they need to. Corey goes beyond. Even before the class starts he makes Royal feel included by doing exercises with him. I appreciate that Steve offered his services to help my grandchild understand the moves. There is another coach that goes every once in while with his daughter. I don’t remember his name but he is very helpful when he is there. If there was a rating for higher I would have chosen it. Keep up the great work!! ❤️
Thank you for your wonderful feedback! We're thrilled to hear that your grandson is enjoying his time with us and that our coaches, especially Alex, Lucas, Corey, and Steve, are making a positive impact on his experience. Creating an inclusive and supportive environment is our top priority, and it's heartwarming to know that our efforts are being recognized. We appreciate your kind words and look forward to continuing to provide a great experience for your family!

Everyone is warm and welcoming at Inverted Gear, which is important for me, because I had no experience with grappling.

I took my two youngest children to Inverted Gear because my neighbor suggested it. Granted there are closer academies to our home he said this one is the best, and I agree. The kids had a blast. They get excited to go. I enjoy watching them. The instructors are kind and knowledgeable. The other children that have more experience teach the new children the moves and techniques. It’s a very inclusive group. Love it.

I like the environment. All the coaches are kind and patient with the kids. It’s nice that they demonstrate the moves and outcomes of each move. It’s wonderful they end the class with a game and even play with them at times.
I wanted to acknowledge and thank Coach Steve for giving his time to help Royal with understanding the moves. It’s greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Thank you for your kind words, Jessica! We're thrilled to hear that you appreciate our environment and coaching approach. Coach Steve will be delighted to know that his efforts made a positive impact on Royal’s experience.

Coach Alex was an incredible instructor and Inverted Gear Academy offered a unique experience and in my opinion, the best training in the ABE area. I've dropped into most of the local schools and, as a brown belt myself, I recommend Inverted over all of your other options.
Thank you for your fantastic review, Patrick! We're thrilled to hear that you had a great experience with Coach Alex and found our training to be the best in the ABE area. Your recommendation means a lot to us, especially coming from a fellow brown belt. We look forward to continuing to support your jiu-jitsu journey!
