Hear from our students:
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! 🙌
- Ashley H ||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 cheering him on the entire time, as well as all the others. I watched as she ran from one mat to the next for each one of her students, cheering them on and guiding them from the sideline. Coach Lesley has a huge heart, she loves each one of her students and is there not only as a coach but as a mentor and role model as well. She knows what she is doing and is able to break it down for the kids to understand, which leaves them feeling confident and eager to learn more. Hands down the best jiu jitsu coach out there!
- Jessica M ||Lesley is an amazing instructor with great attention to detail. She has a lot of knowledge in various martial arts styles. She always makes sure that her students understand the concept by the end of each session. 10/10 will always recommend.
