Training here has completely revolutionized my game! If Gracie lineage is your thing, Clay has it and it shows. Rolls start standing, wrestling isn’t an afterthought and we train the systems/techniques that get the job done when you need them to! Plus, all of my kids love training with Professor Clay and coaches. Recommend for all whether it is for fun, self-defense, confidence building, friends, or winning a competition.
I live in VB, and I drive to class in Norfolk for Professor Clay's tutelage. Professor Clay fosters a team-first gym and the atmosphere is welcoming to all. There is no one system fits all approach, and Professor Clay will adjust his coaching to your individual skill sets. That being said, if you join our gym you will definitely have a great time learning, but also be apart of a community that will push you to get the best out of you.
Awesome family environment great for our kids and their self defense and self esteem. Thanks Professor Clayton and Natasha for taking care of our little ones' development it takes a community to build character! You're the best.
