WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING

Fantastic facility with an amazing group of people. Came in from out of town and was welcomed with open arms. The class structure, as well as the instruction, was great for the few classes I attended. I learned a lot from both the instructors as well as other class participants.
I would highly recommend joining the community they have built at Refuge

Going to class at Refuge is the highlight of my kids’ week. Coaches Josh and Kanani work exceptionally well with the younger kids ages 4-6. My daughter, age 8 is in the Youth class and thoroughly enjoys training and learning new skills each class. Both my kids love Refuge so much, the recently convinced my husband to start training too! I can’t recommend Refuge BJJ highly enough!!

I was visiting from Alaska and saw Refuge was nearby so I decided to drop in for a few classes while on vacation. The coaches and employees at the gym are amazing, very nice and welcoming and all of the coaches are super knowledgeable and helpful. The facility itself was also super open and clean with a changing room, several bathrooms and a shower. I would recommend refuge to anyone in the area as well as anyone visiting, it was a great experience training here for the few sessions I made. Thanks Refuge!

The coaches and staff at Refuge truly go above and beyond. From day one, they make both kids and adults feel comfortable and supported when taking that first step onto the mat. They do an incredible job of meeting people where they’re at—whether you’re brand new, looking to build confidence, or wanting to push yourself to the next level.
