Through structured training, kids learn essential self-defense skills while developing mental and physical agility.

I have been coached by Lesley on and off for over two years, in those two years she has helped me learn and sharpen a lot of useful tools. Lesley is very attentive to technique and tendencies while she instructs drills while also testing your ability to use those skills. Her attention to detail doesn’t stop at the gym but she also supports you with a wealth of knowledge to help you prepare for personal challenges like losing weight or competing at a tournament.

Coach Lesley is amazing. I can't say enough about her. From my son's very first class with her to his first tournament, all the way up to his last class she was wonderful. Coach Lesley is a really good teacher, she had patience and took her time to demonstrate the moves, and made sure the kids were able to do it correctly. My son always left her class excited to show his dad what he had learned that day when he got home. His very first tournament he was so nervous but the coach was there cheerin.
My kids and I loved training with Lesley in children’s and ladies Jiu jitsu classes! She has a special way of making training fun but also teaching discipline and technique! She is a five star coach in my book! 🙌.
