My youngest boy and I have had great experiences. Professor Brock and everyone are very friendly and eager to help us learn how to be dangerous.

We’ve been to many BJJ spots in MN and this one for my kids especially is AMAZING! Coach Brock is absolutely awesome with the kids and has such a talent for keeping order yet making sure he’s giving each person individual attention so they’re always learning and growing 10/10 would recommend for the coaching alone!

Professor Brock and most of the team is fantastic with great teamwork and great personalities. Professor Jake however, at a recent fundraising tournament, told one of the girls that she had her opponent's thumb, and to just break it. He doesn't show very good sportsmanship.

Have you ever had an experience you thought was normal, only to find out later that it was something exceptional? Start BJJ is an amazing place for those interested in learning a martial art.
I was extremely hesitant to start BJJ. I’m naturally very shy and quiet. During my first visit, I was amazed by how many people introduced themselves to me, made an effort to get to know me, and made me feel like I belonged. And…they did it over and over again each time I came back.
The instructors make every concept approachable. They are patient, talented, and make learning fun. Jiu Jitsu teaches you a lot, and your training is only as good as your instructors. Classes are geared with everyone in mind. I have seen people of all ages, genders, and body types enjoying their time on the mats.
There are several classes a day for BJJ, Muy Thai, and more. You can come as an adult, or sign your kids up to learn new skills and grow. Brock, Danny, and the other instructors will make you stronger, hone your skills, and make you laugh. There are plenty of chances to drill, roll, and even sign up for competitions. The only thing you’ll do faster than learn new moves is make new friends.
If I weren’t moving back to my home state, I would gladly train here forever. I’m desperately trying to find a new gym, but am struggling to discover a place with the same atmosphere, class offerings, and caliber of staff. I’m starting to worry that there are few gyms that are this exceptional.
Take it from me, someone who had no business starting a martial art, you can do it. These people will help you on your journey and make you feel like family…all you have to do is START. OSS!

I’ve known Brock for years. Great guy. Was the Muay Thai instructor for a year and was treated like family. Miss the gym. Not only was it great training but extremely fair arrangement as an instructor. Highly recommend

Probably the best gym in Minnesota trained by the best. Everyone is helpful and has their own journey to ranked Bjj athletes, pro fighters to just Dads like myself that just like BJJ. Highly recommend. No ego’s at this gym everyone helps each other regardless of skill level

You will easily be accepted at this school. As a woman, BJJ can be intimidating to begin, but this team really makes it easy to feel like you’re at home. I promise you won’t regret your time spent here and you’ll learn many valuable lessons you’ll be able to keep for a lifetime.

I walked into this gym not knowing what to expect, but was welcomed quickly. I learned quite a bit from Brock in the two weeks I tried out the program. I had lots of fun and it was great to learn some basic self defense. I really like that Brock was so willing to work with students on individual techniques and overall tried to make the class fun. If I were staying in the area I’d definitely commit more to the program.

If you're interested in training in jiu jitsu, muay thai, or mma you'll definitely want to check out the Start gym. The people are friendly and the gym is clean. The lead instructor, Brock, has alot of experience with a black belt in jiu jitsu and many professional mma fights. There is something for all ages and all skill levels.
