Great experience!! The kids are always excited for class, eager to learn more, and are becoming more independent. It's a very clean and bright space, with such an amazing, caring, and compassionate staff.
Utopia has been so amazing for our 4 yr old. He is so excited to go every week and watching his confidence and self esteem grow through each session, is incredible! Especially because he tends to be a bit shy and more observant at first. There's a great balance between group and still feeling like you get that one-on-one feedback from the coaches. We have been so impressed.
My experience at Utopia has been awesome so far. Perry is a good leader and a good coach. He always takes the time to make sure that people feel welcome and that your first time there you’re not just another member, but part of a team.
I've recently joined the Utopia team and couldn't be more grateful and impressed by the quality of training and the welcoming energy this Gym provides. Quickly I've gotten the sense I'm cared about as much as a person as well my improvement in BJJ. As a Veteran I highly recommend Utopia if your searching for that Team feeling that's very hard to find.
I’m so glad we found Utopia and that they offer classes starting at 3-4 years old. We love their focus on not only teaching physical skills, but also social and emotional skills for development. My son is 3 and has already learned so much. He looks forward to going to class each week and showing us what he learns. Thank you!
My kids have loved coming to Utopia’s summer camp! They’ve enjoyed the structure, games, and fun with added field trips. They’ve loved meeting new friends and look forward to attending each day!
This camp is FANTASTIC! My boys love it. They keep them busy, active and engaged. There is a lot of time outdoors and they learn discipline and self awareness through jujitsu. Can’t say enough aboit the awesome job this team does for the kids.
My son has had a few sessions at Utopia so far but he really seems to be enjoying it. It has been a nice addition to our routine. I was very impressed with the initial walk-in that we had to get some more information, which led to us signing up for the trial class. After his first class, we signed up for a monthly membership. The communication with everyone has been excellent. The facility is clean and has a nice area for family members to sit and watch. The most impressive aspect was the information provided about their knowledge of child development and how that plays into their approach with their classes. We are excited to see where our son will be in a month or two as he progress!
My experience at Utopia has been almost entirely positive. The facility is very clean. All of the instructors and fellow students I've met have been helpful, especially to someone like me who is clearly out of their comfort zone. I would have no worry approaching anyone with a question or problem.
My son loves this summer camp! They keep him so busy, doing martial arts, crafts, and other games and sports. They do pizza party’s every Wednesday and field trips on Fridays! He has so much fun!
Our son is having the best time at Utopia summer camp! He always comes home with a smile on his face and can’t wait to tell us how much fun he has and all the new friends he’s making. The coaches are all so friendly and helpful too! Highly recommend.
Honestly so happy we have Utopia in our lives. The coaches have made such an amazing impact on our family. They encourage not only our child but the whole family to continue to do better. Our daughter has been able to build confidence in herself and her abilities. The coaches truly help each kid in their individual growths and developments and motivate them to pursue their next desires.
It isn't easy for us to find activities or sports that will keep my 8 year old son with adhd engaged, but the staff and coaches at Utopia have been great with him since we started. It's nice to find a place for Gunnar where he always feels welcomed, and also manages to stay pretty focused. It makes me smile when Coach Vern asks him what the best part of his day was and his response is jiu-jitsu :)
My son is having the best time at camp. He attended last year and this year he talked about it for months prior to going, he was so excited to spend his summer trying to get “camper of the week”… lol. The organization of this group is phenomenal. They really have the best camp for the kids! Pizza parties on Wednesdays, field trips weekly and activities in between to keep my very busy son engaged.
Great place for Jiu Jitsu! Started back up here after moving and feel at home already! Good learning style , different than what I’m use to but feel like I’m learning more. A lot of higher ranks on mat here daily, which is great compared to most other gyms.
Wonderful atmosphere. Each day has a different class format and all are incredible. Each instructor seems to be incredibly knowledgeable, not just with the art, but with teaching itself. Great place to train
Our kids have been with Utopia Summer Camp for multiple years! They absolutely love the coaches and all the activities! We’re grateful for the program as it reenforces positive behavior, supports continued learning and builds confidence and resilience!
Absolutely love the coaches and the staff as they go above and beyond to check on how your kid is doing in class and offer other opportunities. My son loves going and has been learning new moves and well as working on goals at home and in school.
Utopia offers classes for children unlike anywhere else. The coaches make genuine connections with each child while instilling a strong sense of discipline. Each class is structured appropriately to hold the child’s attention and keep them having fun with every new lesson
First month completed at Utopia and I’m addicted. Great leadership, guidance, and patience from the instructors and senior members. I have very little experience, however I feel my skill level has improved after every class. I would recommend for anyone who is looking for a new challenge, for building confidence, and a great workout. I highly recommend for all ages.
Very experienced instructors!!!!
Amazing coaches and staff to help kids learn martial arts and life lessons. We would not enroll our family anywhere else!
a fantastic place to study martial arts, it's a very welcoming atmosphere and the instructors are all wonderful
Been going here for a year and a half and I love it! The staff really foster a community that wants to help one another get better at the sport.
This place offers more to our life than Martial Arts. Our 9 year old son has finally found something he loves to do and it is helping him to become a stronger person mentally, emotionally, and physically. We love the character traits of the month and the powerful projects that the kids are working on that make them think about morals and what it means to have good character and be respectful! Highly recommend.
Great coaches and amazing learning opportunities!
Great instructors! Fun atmosphere! Awesome skills! Fantastic kids program!
Wonderful coaches and program!
We started our 2 kids at Utopia just over 1 month ago. It has been nothing short of amazing!! In such a short time they have learned so much! They enjoy being part of a team and are so excited each day when it is time to go! They have not only learned jiu jitsu skills, they have made new friends. The social skills taught each class are incredible; patience, respect, focus, listening to name just a few! My son's teacher has already commented on noted changes at school (Even before she knew he was doing this!). And at home we are noticing differences too, the kids are more independent, doing tasks without being asked, not asking for help in things they know they can do, more motivation, and better morning routines are a few things that have been very obvious! The coaches are awesome with the kids! We are so happy we found Utopia and are excited to see how the kids grow in the next few months and beyond!
We couldn’t be happier at Utopia in Grafton! We started with a 6-week trial in 2016 and have been at the dojo 2 to 5 hours every week since! The positive atmosphere, paired with inclusive, supportive and highly skilled staff, creates an environment where the lessons learned go beyond technique on the mat. Utopia not only teaches self-defense, takedowns and submissions; coaches and kids embrace confidence, respect, empathy, integrity and discipline for themselves and others. Win or learn, we grow together.
Amazing coaches and staff to help kids learn martial arts and life lessons. We would not enroll our family anywhere else!
I highly recommend Utopia. My daughter is in the Spider Monkeys class and LOVES it. We've tried other things (dance, ice skating, karate) and nothing ever really kept her engaged. This does. I really can't say enough great things about this place.
Been going here for a year and a half and I love it! The staff really foster a community that wants to help one another get better at the sport.
My daughter started with Spider Monkey class last August. Through this program at Utopia, she has grown more attentive, more confident, better disciplined, and not to mention physically stronger. She now is competing in Grappling Competitions. I've joined BJJ class and lost a decent amount of weight recently as well. Utopia is an extension of our family, and you should come check us out!
My daughter took an immediate interest in BJJ after attending a birthday party, and has maintained that interest and enthusiasm over this past month. Along with building confidence and focus, I hope for her to gain more body awareness, learn what she’s capable of doing, and build stamina. From my experience so far with Neutral Ground, I feel confident that this program and the staff (who are absolutely incredible with these kids), will help her accomplish these important goals.
We initially enrolled our 7 year old son at Utopia in Grafton for his birthday. One year later, he looks forward to coming into practice two times per week, because he feels welcome and safe to explore. The staff, and instructors are excellent with the children, and even more importantly, continue to improve as coaches. I personally have benefited as a parent watching these classes and sharing these moments with my son.
Great place to train and learn jiu jitsu. Great coaches and team
We enrolled our son at Utoipa more than a year ago. In that short amount of time I have seen my son make leaps and bounds both physically, and in the way he shows confidence, maturity, and hard work both on and off the mat. The owner, coaches, and the people and kids that train there are second to none. Now both myself and my son train there regularly and I have lost 60 lbs from training, and more importantly we have fun! Tannar and I love training here and would definitely recommend it to anyone.
