Started here at Hors Normes without a background in grappling or martial arts as a middle aged man, but that wasn’t a problem for Coach Matt. Coach Matt provides very clear instruction and works to adapt it to everyones individual abilities. Really appreciate the morning and evening schedule of classes. Makes finding time to attend around a busy schedule easy. Great group of students too. Glad to have found this place, just wish I had made the choice sooner. Definitely what I was looking for!

Coach Matt is a exceptional guy when it comes to teaching you Juijitsu. He’s not the type that judges you just because your white belt. He goes out of his way to truly teach you the techniques to perform Juijitsu correctly. I highly recommend him to anyone interested in Juijitsu.

Great instructor. I’ve learned more Jui Jitsu in the last 8 months than I did at another school in 4 years. Just the right mix of drills and rolling with Great training partners. Excellent school for all levels.

This is absolutely a great gym. Our instructor has a very strong presence both as a practitioner of Jiu-Jitsu and teacher. He is able to effectively and clearly communicate the lessons as well as always willing to take time to explain details further with any student if needed. Professor Matt has cultivated an atmosphere in the gym that is open and promotes the most important aspect of the sport which is continual self growth through Jiu-Jitsu. We do not smash each other for 60 minutes every lesson - in this gym drillers make killers. Jiu-jitsu is hard, it will make you hurt but it will give you significantly more in return. At Hors Normes you will find a cadre of fellow students for constant support, a safe training environment, and a top notch school lead by a tough and practical instructor.

Awesome place to learn jiu jitsu. Welcoming atmosphere. Mats are always clean and disinfected before and after every class. Follows covid 19 polices. Professor Matt is an awesome instructor and really makes jiu jitsu fun. His teaching methods are on point and hes always willing to work with you, he treats everyone the same if your a purple belt or someone new off the street and its your first day. Everyone who trains there is polite and welcoming to all new members. If your thinking about training jiu jitsu look no further, we are waiting for you!

Good place to learn BJJ, I have tried Boxing, Wing Chun, lifting weights, and nothing compares to BJJ. Coach is awesome! If you do not understand one method he finds other methods and explanations to help you understand. I am very happy i found this place to train, I wait for my days to go to class! I highly recommend coming here to train!
