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.

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 :)

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

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.

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.

We started our 2 kids at Neutral Ground 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! Coaches Vern, Drew and Lexi are awesome with the kids! We are so happy we found Neutral Ground and are excited to see how the kids grow in the next few months and beyond!

We couldn’t be happier at Neutral Ground 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. Neutral Ground 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.

I highly recommend Neutral Ground. My daughter is in the Little Ninjas 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.

My daughter started with Little Ninja class last August. Through this program at Neutral Ground, 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 Kickboxing/MMA class and lost a decent amount of weight recently as well. Neutral Ground 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 Neutral Ground 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 bennifited as a parent watching these classes and sharing these moments with my son.

We enrolled our son at neutral ground 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.
