Came to Living Jiu Jitsu 18 months ago, super nervous, with no sports background and no idea what to expect. 4 months into my training here, I participated in my first competition and won 2nd place. Never would've imagined I could accomplish something like that before starting at LJJ. This gym has given me so much more than just a place to train. Sooooo thankful to Domi and all my training partners here. Domi's really cultivated an incredibly welcoming and encouraging environment for beginners and experienced practitioners alike. Instruction is always clear (in German and English), well thought out, and obviously stems from a deep knowledge base. He takes the time to understand each person's strengths and weaknesses and offers personalized guidance to accelerate progress and meet individual goals. Also seems that Domi's nature is contagious because everyone in the gym is super supportive and willing to share knowledge and learn together. Sportsmanship all around. Also must mention, for any women looking into martial arts, but feeling hesitant for fear of an unsafe training environment: Living Jiu Jitsu is 1000% the place to train. Safe, clean, respectful. People absolutely look out for one another here and boundaries are respected. I've recommended this gym to every one of my female friends and will definitely continue to do so. 🙂
