I've been taking BJJ classes for a couple years now but have had a hard time finding a school (my previous schools closed when the instructors moved out of town). Dark Matter Jiu Jitsu started up right when I was looking again so I thought I'd check them out and I'm glad I did. Kory, the lead instructor, has incredible technique and describes things in a way I understand. He also tends to layer his classes, so what we learned on Monday rolls into what we learn on Tuesday, etc. I feel like I am progressing at a much faster pace than any other school I've attended because of this approach. Everyone here is laid back and chill, we work hard and have fun but no one has an ego which is refreshing. I really enjoy classes and this group of people, I just wish they were around when I started my BJJ journey years ago!
