Eliot Marshall - UFC Veteran / The Ultimate Fighter Season 8
“I’ve been training with Prof. George for about 12 years now and let me tell you, as far as having the knowledge to transmit Brazilian Jiu-jitsu to students of all ages Fargo BJJ is the place to be! When I’m in Fargo I train at Fargo BJJ!
Michele S - Computer Engineer
"Professor George and Coach Sarah are great! We have been involved with BJJ for just over a year. The whole family participates. My 2 girls, ages 9 and 13, love it and are learning a lot. My husband is addicted and can't get enough. I participate in the fitness class and enjoy the variety and great motivation. I highly recommend Fargo BJJ!"
Kris F - Anesthesiologist
"Fargo Brazilian Jui Jitsu is without a doubt the BEST academy in the area! The head instructors are professional, very knowledgeable, and generous with their time to answer whatever questions the students have. It goes without saying that the Jui-Jitsu training is technical and world class (students regularly take home medals in national tournaments), the fitness classes will get anyone into shape, and the kickboxing classes are great for mma/self-defense/a great workout. The kids program will be sure to improve any child's fitness/self-esteem and ability to defend themselves. However, the best thing about the school is the friendly, safe environment that facilitates the students to push themselves to be the best they can be. "
Kyle F – Equipment Dealership Manager
“It can be intimidating to start any new activity, especially martial arts and especially grappling. The students and staff at Fargo BJJ make it the best Martial Arts gym atmosphere I have ever walked into. Very little ego, No cult like atmosphere, Just genuinely nice people who each have differnet goals they are working towards. We have everything from National champion grapplers, MMA fighters, and all american wrestlers to elementary school kids, and fat old men like me who are just trying to stay active and in shape. It is probably one of the least cliquey places I have ever been around and that includes any activity.“
Connor S - Student NDSU
“If you want to learn self-defense techniques, kick boxing, wrestling or Brazilian Jiu-jitsu in a very friendly and constructive environment.. I would say then FARGOBJJ is the place for YOU! ...and me!”
Jason B – Civil Engineer
“Through Jiu-jitsu, I have met/trained with people from all over the world. Wherever I have trained, people know of my instructors George and Sarah because of the lineage of the school, and where they come from. I feel lucky to have instructors like Professor George and Professor Sarah, who show a real passion for Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, and for helping their students learn in the best possible environment.”
Cody S – Production Worker
“I wanted to get back in shape & lose weight, …blow off some steam. I’ve lost 70 pounds from when I first started, and I’m a lot more patient!”
Jake D – I.T. Support Specialist “The minute you walk into the academy you feel welcome and there is always someone there that is willing to help you or answer a question. I think that people are always a little apprehensive when trying something new but I can say first hand that I have not met one person at Fargo BJJ that I dont like or that did not help me when I asked a question. Its pretty rare to find a place like Fargo BJJ where you can learn something fun, stay in shape and get to meet a lot of really good people.”
Bill K – Air Force EOD NCO “For our kids, Jiu-jitsu has been a great confidence builder.”
Alex B – Security Officer
“Professors George and Sarah run an exceptionally efficient, open and yet challenging school. They truly welcome all students of all types into their family. The training is challenging and very technique based. The variety of class options (kids, MMA, BJJ, Kickboxing, Wrestling and Fitness) provide something for everyone. The lack of a “meathead”, brand specific, MMA groupie typical atmosphere is what brought me here and what will keep me here.
Unlike other gyms whose membership changes with the ebb and flow of local judicial sentencing guidelines, Fargo BJJ has students from all walks of life. Doctors (I have trained personally with 3 different ones), police officers, students, laborers, professional and semi-professional fighters, white and blue collar. I would highly recommend the school to anyone who is looking for fitness, self-defense, a good hobby or to get into MMA as a hobby or profession. “
Jeremiah U - Medical Student
"A safe respectful place to train. From basic to hardcore it has what is needed. The instructors and students are really nice to boot."
Kevin Bradley - Gracie Barra Corpus Christi , TX "I just wanted to take the time to thank you and the members at Fargo BJJ for the great training opportunity I enjoyed while on business in North Dakota . I have heard many negative stories from people that attempted to train at other academies only to be used as a chew toy and very often becoming injured. I had not attempted to train on the road during previous travels but I found your school on the web and felt at ease to try it out based on the amount of information available and the testimonials you have posted. Although I only attended a few classes, the entire experience was extremely positive. I was greeted warmly by everyone at the school and the training was excellent. The instruction was organized and technical and I picked up some great learning points from both the advanced as well as the fundamentals classes. I even enjoyed the fitness classes which were very effective at making me sore for days after.
"The folks in Fargo are extremely fortunate to have such a well organized and welcoming school in which to train. The instruction was top notch and it was a pleasure having the opportunity to roll with some very experienced grapplers. Thank you again for providing such an excellent diversion from work and travel, and thanks to all those at Fargo BJJ for making a stranger feel at home. "
