“My family (me and two kids!) have been coming to Ares BJJ for a year now, and I’m happy to leave this five-star review. The staff is friendly, the schedule is accommodating, the studio is always clean, and most importantly the training is amazing. Professor Samir and his staff run a solid program for world class Jiu Jitsu training, and I couldn’t recommend it enough. There is a track for beginners, intermediate, and advanced training, and plenty of opportunity to train with all levels. I love it. Whether you’re casually interested, seeking personal development, or you desire to compete in tournaments, Ares BJJ will have something for you.”

“Samir has a undeniably great reputation within the jiu jitsu community, and it was that reputation that brought me to the school. Now that I’ve been his student, it is his advanced technical knowledge, supportive coaching, and amazing students that keep me coming.”

“Samir is a true masters of this art, and his abilities to teach others is a cut above the rest. His attention to detail when instructing helps you to actually see yourself executing the move in your head.”
