“I walked in knowing very little about what Brazilian Jiu Jitsu was. Within a few minutes of meeting Tom, I was sure this was the gym I was going to train at. He was inquisitive about my goals and lifestyle as well as his experience from the years and years of training he has in the discipline. The fellow students there helped provide an environment of kinship and learning. After starting my journey, I realized three days a week wasn’t enough. Then 4 days grew stale. In almost no time at all, it became an obsession. That could be my strong hunger for learning but it wouldn’t be nearly as strong if it weren’t for the teaching and flexibility that Tom has. He has made each private lesson happen despite how frequently or short noticed my schedule changed. Of all the schools I visited and researched in my area, NO school catered to the student to the extent Olympus has under Tom. This gym truly is dedicated to the advancement of the students. I had a goal to become a competent combatant for the Army, but as I’m leaving, I realize I’m leaving with a family and mentor in addition to some killer techniques. I cannot endorse this school enough. For anyone reading this who is unsure if you want to start for whatever reason, JUST DO IT. Know the way broadly and you will find your way..”
