Great class with Coach JAG. Techniques and workout were on point. Thanks for allowing the drop in. Hospitality for an outsider coming through was unmatched. Thank you and I look forward to rolling here again.

Was greeted by two cordial instructors at the school when I visited with my child and initially had a good impression of the place. But when I was introduced to one of the owners (who introduced himself, Jag...like the car!), I immediately recognized arrogance, lack of respect, and poor leadership. Just for example, what kind of businessperson would ask a potential customer, Why are you wearing a mask? Are you afraid of something? My wife has an auto-immune disease and Florida now has one of the highest incidences of deaths from the COVID-19 delta virus, but I ignored his rude question, kept my mask on (as everyone should in this state), and gave him a chance to discuss the program. After some time of his lecture to me, when I asked my daughters opinion what she thought of the school and the class we had just witnessed, Jag then shockingly interrupted and proceeded to try to school me how to discuss the classes with my youngest daughter. I am 64 years of age and have another older daughter – whom I encouraged to understand martial arts as a youth – yet this punk had the gall to try to interfer with my deference to my daughter? (I also studied MMA and BJJ for six years, including one year in Rio de Janeiro, karate at university, and twelve years in tae kwon do, so its not like I am ignorant of the disciplines at hand either.) There were other attitude issues of Jag, but, all in all, I was revolted by his low character, and resolved that I nor any member of my family would ever return to the school. [Am cross-posting this to Fight Sports from NoGi MMA as they are now apparently merged.]

Not even a month in and I know that this is where I belong. Amazing coaches and an amazing mentor. What you put in is what you will achieve.

Easily my favorite place to train since moving to Ocala. Coach Jag is not only extremely knowledgeable but loves the sport and it’s history. Highly recommend to anyone who’s serious about learning and earning their spot in Jiu Jitsu + beyond as the principles taught here can be applied to all facets of life. Thank you professor!

This is a great Bjj Academy. I train here for over 3 years and it was a blast . The head instructor professor Walter is a humble and great human being. He makes everyone feel like family. The instructing is top notch too. You will definitely improve at this gym. The kids program is great too.

The instruction, programming and facilities at Fight Sports Ocala are all top notch- this place is great for anyone who wants to take their martial arts or combat training seriously. Joining a gym like this is like joining a family, and the crew here is really supportive and encouraging! Highly recommend it to anyone.

Coach Jag is one of the best instructors with a ton of experience in various martial arts and is a proven leader. After doing much research I signed all of my kids up to his program and it was the best decision Ive made. Hes a natural at bringing the best out of kids through his real life delivery which is necessary in the world we live in today.

Stopped in from out of state. Everyone was welcoming. Great instruction and class. If you live in the area go check these guys out. You will not be disappointed. Looking forward to going back next time I’m in town.

Training here for 4 months and the speed at which I’m learning blows my mind. Coach JAG really wants all his students to understand and excel in the art! Osss

Nogi MMA is a wonderful place to face challenges in a safe environment. Under the expert instruction of Joshua Garcia, you will learn to competently defend yourself and develop the character to face your problems. The gym is clean and full of friendly people.

Excellent instruction from highly knowledgeable team that offers everything from a friendly environment for beginners to advanced training for veterans looking to hone their skills at the highest levels of competition.

I’ve trained at this gym off and on for over 2 years, and couldn’t be happier with Professor Josh’s teaching, the team he has built, and the gym as a whole. The first thing I looked for was a qualified coach, and if you take one look at coach Josh’s resume you see he has lots of experience and success in many different martial arts.Everyone at the gym is very welcoming, respectful, and makes you feel like part of the family.It is a great training atmosphere for those who want hardcore jiu jitsu/grappling or striking training, children, beginners of all ages, those seeking self defense training, or even training to fight MMA. With multiple professional martial artists that come to train, talented coaches, the multitude of different classes they offer, and a great lineage of black belts you can’t go wrong!

Dark Horse BJJ is an awesome placed to workout, learn self defense, and make friends. Coach Jag is an great instructor that pushes you to become a better you. Since I started in the last week of October, I was 237 lbs. Now, as of today, Im at 206 and Im still not done. 30 lbs down; 30 more lbs to go!!

Amazing class, very patient and thorough teacher. He works with you on your level and will help you learn and advance. Focus on technique and real application.

Great school went to a catch wrestling class and learned a couple of new things to add to my jiujitsu game and some new aspects of the submission wrestling game which were really intriguing. Jag is great instructor under Tom Cutler and really knowledgable in many grappling martial arts as well as striking
