We are dedicated to providing a training environment that is fun and welcoming. We understand that choosing a gym is hard and you want to make sure it is the right fit for you. We recognize people may be intimidated by a contact sport or “going to the gym” and so strive to not make it that kind of an environment. Expect to struggle, expect to fail and expect to do it in good company. Also expect to find success and grow your potential. The coaches want you to succeed. We will match your effort with our dedication to help you reach your goals.

Everyone from the complete beginner to the seasoned, competitive athlete will find a team that allows them to advance in their progress. Don't let your current fitness or age deter you from starting! Being a jiu jitsu person is about the journey. A “get healthy” trip that you may take for a year, but we hope it’s a “be healthy” journey you take for a lifetime. We offer jiu jitsu, kickboxing, self defense and fitness classes to enable life-changing physical and mental growth. The school is led by Professor Donny Pickard, the Gorge’s most experienced jiu jitsu instructor. He and his team of coaches thrive off students' success, big and small. We invite and welcome you to come be a part of our Salvos Crew.
