(Coach) Matt is very good at getting the best out of me. He gives all of us the confidence to go out and compete because of how detail-oriented he is with our preparation, but beyond that what stands out the most is how much he cares about us as athletes. He really goes above and beyond to make sure our individual needs are met.

Coach Matt is not only a highly skilled and knowledgeable instructor but also incredibly passionate about jiu-jitsu and his Athletes. I am beyond grateful for the gym and training partners I have at NLGA as they push me to be a better person on and off the mats

Matt and the Team at No Limits Grappling Academy are Top Notch! This place is a very welcoming atmosphere for all skill levels. The knowledge and skills are what makes me walk through the door. The Vision Matt and the Team have for the gym and individual athletes is encouraging and motivational. You need to step on these mats and check this place out!

Matt is both a knowledgeable coach and great guy! Been at No Limits just over a year now and it has been a great option for me since finishing college wrestling. Matt makes learning Jiu-Jitsu simple but engaging and helped me transition quickly into a new form of grappling.
