We enrolled our 4 year old in the program and have really enjoyed seeing him work with the coaches and other kids. The focus on teamwork, kindness and exercise is just what we were looking for. Each time our son ends the class he is sad the time is up! The facility is great and all the coaches are so nice.

Our 4 year old son just started Ju-jitsu at Utopia a few weeks ago. In that short time we have already seen his confidence increase and he’s been doing better at learning how to control his emotions when the outcome might not always be in his favor. This is something we’ve been really trying to work with him on at home as he is really hard on himself. It’s been really encouraging to see how this sport has been helping him with that. The coaches who have been working with him have been amazing and seem to really understand how to work with kids at this age and get down on their level. I can’t say enough great things about Utopia!

Stepping into something I know so little about, everyone at the academy (from coaches to members) has been extremely welcoming, friendly and helpful! It makes it easy to feel like you belong there. Not to mention how clean this gym is AND drama free! Super excited to continue to learn and grow at Utopia.

I have a six year old who doesn’t enjoy organized sports but he loves going to Utopia. They are very well organized and genuinely care for my child and his progress.

I initially took my kids to check out Utopia Martial Arts to try and peek their interest but I kept thinking, “that looks so fun!” I took one trial class and was immediately hooked. What a fun way to exercise, socialize, and learn to move your body in new ways. I was a bit nervous to learn and do something like this in my late 30s but the entire group has been so welcoming (and patient). Only a couple classes in but can’t wait to see where this new journey takes me!

My daughter has only been a part of Utopia for 4 classes so far (as of the writing of this review), but she already exhibits a fondness for her coaches and classmates, and looks forward to her class every week. They welcomed her with opened arms on day one despite her going into this completely inexperienced in any sport. Coaches Vern & Drew are absolutely magnificent with the kids and it’s obvious that they have a passion for BJJ. They apply the appropriate level of encouragement and discipline during class, and keep the vibes relaxed and fun. Classmates are respectful and willingly helpful to my novice student, which I appreciate greatly. I can say with certainty that signing her up to Utopia was one of the best decisions I’ve made for my daughter and am excited to see her excel in the sport here.As far as the facility goes, it’s a fun, clean and friendly environment! The staff (coaches) are all warm and welcoming. They explain the program and the studio’s goals thoroughly, and offer many resource materials to ensure the success of each student. I also love how they are all readily available via text, calls, or social media to answer any and every question that I have had. It’s a great family oriented atmosphere all around.

This is my 5-year old daughter’s first experience in jujitsu and she is loving it thanks to her amazing instructors! You can tell that each child’s individual needs are recognized and you really feel part of something special at Utopia!

One of the best place to learn martial arts. Staff is supper friendly and knowledgeable. They are super supportive of their students and the community. I like the women’s self defense class and would highly recommend.

My experience at Utopia has been awesome so far. Perry is a good leader and a good coach. He always takes the time to make sure that people feel welcome and that your first time there you’re not just another member, but part of a team.

Great experience!! The kids are always excited for class, eager to learn more, and are becoming more independent. It's a very clean and bright space, with such an amazing, caring, and compassionate staff.

I've recently joined the Utopia team and couldn't be more grateful and impressed by the quality of training and the welcoming energy this Gym provides. Quickly I've gotten the sense I'm cared about as much as a person as well my improvement in BJJ. As a Veteran I highly recommend Utopia if your searching for that Team feeling that's very hard to find.

Started my bjj journey with NG 15 years ago. And although I've been out of state for 13 years, I'm so happy to see Perry and Matt still teaching and giving to the local community. This gym is, and always has been a top notch!

I’m so glad we found Utopia and that they offer classes starting at 3-4 years old. We love their focus on not only teaching physical skills, but also social and emotional skills for development. My son is 3 and has already learned so much. He looks forward to going to class each week and showing us what he learns. Thank you!

My son has had a few sessions at Utopia so far but he really seems to be enjoying it. It has been a nice addition to our routine. I was very impressed with the initial walk-in that we had to get some more information, which led to us signing up for the trial class. After his first class, we signed up for a monthly membership. The communication with everyone has been excellent. The facility is clean and has a nice area for family members to sit and watch. The most impressive aspect was the information provided about their knowledge of child development and how that plays into their approach with their classes. We are excited to see where our son will be in a month or two as he progress!
