I left a review 3 years ago when I started training and i am now 3 years in. If I had to describe a home away from home I would 100% describe Chokelab Academy to the tee. This academy has given me so many opportunities to grow as a person and an athlete. These words do not even begin to scratch the surface of what Chokelab has done for me I am so incredibly thankful and excited for the journey ahead OSS!

My name is Angel Manuel Laporte and I have much to get off of my chest regarding my experience at Chokelab BJJ Academy. I took about 5 years off from training after training for close to 10 years. The experience coming back has been life-evolving. The energy in the room is electric and POSITIVE/HUMBLE. and ultimately CLEAN and RESPECTFUL. Every single teammate/student carries themselves very well-mannered, almost mimicking Professor Joe. Moreover, Professor Joseph teaches with such precise technique that I can’t explain. The attention to detail is world-class and I’m honored to be apart of this environment/team. Thank You Professor Joe and every single one of you there for being sincere and genuine to me . It’s refreshing . Blessings always .

I proudly recommend Chokelab for any age and at all levels! Professor Manuel's passion and love for the sport is what motivated me to increase my training by adding another class to my week. After being there for a few months now I feel like I've grown not only in the sport but as a person. The professor has a way of teaching his curriculum for that day and applies it to our everyday life through his words of wisdom.

I've been training at Chokelab Academy for a couple of months, where it feels like a close-knit family. Professor Manuel's inspiration has improved my physical and mental well-being, while his work ethic keeps me on track. Excitedly looking forward to the future and the opportunities it brings.

Professor Joseph is amazing. He is passionate, technical and has an unique ability to help you at any level. If you want to learn jui jitsu effectively and correctly he is the best option.

This school is amazing!!! I wanted my daughter to learn self defense, but no school around my area felt right and when I went personally to Cutting Edge along with my daughter, we both felt in love with the school and I didn’t mind the 30 minute drive. School is very clean and the environment was great. They treat you more as a family and I couldn’t find a better school for my daughter than Cutting Edge. I strongly recommend this school to any parent.
