DGA isn’t just a martial arts school it’s a community of people that care about each other. Professor Frankie is one of the most genuine people ever who is always joking around, but when it’s time to learn it’s time to learn. Professor Frankie challenges you every week to do better than the week before. His team of black and brown belts are great too.
Started there last September, and have being nothing but awesome. Professor Frankie creates an environment of respect and comradeship; it’s a big family. I like the fact that since they one we can roll and try to apply what we learn in the class. All the higher belts are always willing to help us improve.
After 4 months of training I have become addicted to BJJ and I can contribute that directly to the leadership of Professor Frankie and the environment he has helped build. I think jiu-jitsu naturally builds a strong sense of camaraderie but this academy in particular has such a wonderful group of students and teachers that will make you feel welcome from day 1. If you're looking to begin training just remember: "If there is no struggle, there is no progress." Jiu-jitsu will be a life-long class, try not to get frustrated with yourself for not being able to do every technique perfectly right away.
