“This is some the best training you will find in Iowa, not only are both of these men extremely knowledgeable they’re also genuinely good people. I cannot recommend this school enough, BJJ has changed my life for the better and the two guys running this place had a lot to do with it!”
BJJ Black Belt Nick Broz | 3-Time World Master IBJJF Jiu-Jitsu Champion (Blue Belt, Purple Belt, Brown Belt)
“New to BJJ? Great. Matt and Jim are high-level players and experienced instructors. They are well-respected by the BJJ community. You are in good hands. You will learn great fundamental techniques as well as the new hot advanced techniques. You will have a bunch of training partners to help you get better.
“Experienced BJJ player looking for a place to train? This is it. No Nutella. Matt is one of the highest-level competitors in the midwest. Jim is a wrestling EXPERT (how are your takedowns, btw?), an excellent roll, and runs the tightest class I have ever been to. Great training partners. Lucky you that you found Citadel, for real. Go train. Improve your BJJ.”
