What Members Say
Real stories from the people who train at Sentry — adults, parents, competitors and first-timers.
As a police officer, the self-defense techniques I've learned here WORK in the real world. Beginning my martial arts journey with this group has been one of the most rewarding things I've ever done.
Joining the academy was one of the greatest choices I have ever made. I was welcomed in with open arms and given the opportunity to learn and grow while stepping out of my comfort zone.
I was worried being over 50 and starting Jiu-Jitsu. Everyone at Sentry is welcoming and the students work with you to grasp the concepts. Professor Dave breaks down everything from the novice to the experienced.
