Noel Smith Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu

This place is incredible. The instructors and students are extremely supportive and easy-​going. They have students of all sizes and skill levels. The kids programs are awesome too with an after school program that helps the kids do their homework and then rolls them right into training. This is our new family!

I have known Noël Smith for a long time. Beside being a military brother he also runs a great academy. Top notch instruction. Family atmosphere. I came from a different Brazilian jiujitsu association and they treat me like family. If your looking for a great school stop I. And try it out

Noël Smith is the owner of this business. I have three problems with how he conducts himself on a personal and professional level.
1. Parent place their children in his hands for martial arts classes. He doesn’t hesitate to comment on public local news articles, wishing death on other children and giving the class location to those that oppose his views, challenging them to confront him. Meanwhile, if someone violent takes offense to his behavior, he has placed all children and adults that attend his classes in danger. (I will be adding screenshots of his Facebook conversation after I post this review.)
2. He is clearly racist and hates Muslims. He stated the mass shooting suspect’s infant daughter should be killed along with the parents. Pure hatred.
3. As someone who teaches martial arts and self defense, he should be more responsible than to threaten others with his skills for opposing his views. His license to run a business and teach should be revoked. I will also be placing a formal complaint with the state, along with evidence.
Shame on you, Noël, for al the hatred in your heart.

My kids went here for a little over a year. When we signed up we were told that you can cancel anytime after 6 months just let him (Noël the owner) know. They do put you on the auto renew «but that’s just to avoid the extra paperwork every 6 months». Well after 11 months I told know the kids lost interest and we’d be stopping at the end of the month. We were told «That sucks, but he’ll stop the auto payments. Three months later it was still comming out of our account. I spoke with Noël several times a month and was told it would be credited but NEVER was. Finally I contacted the company that does it and they told me they can’t do anything until I put it in writing and still had to wait till the end of the 6 month contract that just renewed. So 12 months of lessons cost me 18 months of payments. The lessons while there were good but ruined by the problems with payment. Do not give him your Credit Card OR checking info for auto payment. CASH each month is the only way to pay.

This is a great place to learn jiu jitsu! The owner Noël is very knowledgeable and friendly. I have been taking private lessons with one of his top brown belts and it has really helped my game!!! They also have a wide variety of other programs there as well.

If you’re seeking a place that is about more than just business, this is the place! There is sincere, compassionate and skilled people apart of this school that makes me feel confident in how my family will be cared for and treated during their involvement. Great structure ! Great people ! Family like atmosphere ! What has me especially
Impressed with this school is how well the staff tend to the children on a consistent basis ! The staff is also very open to feedback and suggestions to make the best of each experience ! It takes more than just a degree or previous work experience to know how to lead children! And these wonderful people have the compassion, patience, and natural love for their customers that our community needs more of ! Very approachable and flexible. After a tough experience with a previous school, Mr. Noël proved effortlessly just how sincere his school and team are ! This is an honest review for sure ! I’ve observed my children in this setting many times and I’ve never left disappointed ! Mr. Noël and his wife don’t have to present a sales pitch whatsoever! They allow you to see how they operate for yourselves and I’m completely satisfied with their program !

This is a great place to learn Martial arts. They have a top notch Brazilian Jiu-​jitsu class as well as boxing, Tae Kwon Do for kids and an after school martial arts program as well. I hear they have a pretty good Judo class also.
