"Showed up without any prior martial arts or BJJ experience, and the entire gym was very welcoming to newcomers. Have been going 9 months now and can't picture going anywhere else. Korey is a very high level practitioner and a great instructor, makes learning jiu-jitsu a great experience. Whether you are just getting started or experienced, this is the place to be."
"We come here for their kids jiu-jitsu program. All I can say is... AMAZING!!! We've been bringing our 8 year old son here for about 4 months now and it's been amazing watching him grow and learn here at Dark Matter. Korey is one of the best and most patient instructors I've ever seen. Truly passionate about teaching the kids and helping them truly learn the art of jiu-jitsu."
"Been training for about a year, with no prior experience. I love it here. The people, the instruction, the vibe is just so good. Coach Korey is not only a high level jiu-jitsu athlete himself, he's also an incredible instructor. I'm always asking questions, and he consistently gives clear and helpful tips. If you're curious about getting into BJJ, this is the place."
