My son is 11 years old, he started there a few months ago he loves it. The staff is amazing, super knowledgeable, great with kids and an amazing positive atmosphere to learn and grow.

My 13 year old daughter absolutely looks forward to and enjoys her practices at Emerge. it brings her physical exercise, confidence and most of all, a since of belonging. In our culture today, this is exactly what she needs. from what I have observed, the instructors are kind, inclusive and give beginners the attention they need to fit in.

Friendly, professional, quality instruction. All around great business!

First time ever training Jiu-Jitsu, super helpful coaching staff. Everyone was super respectful and friendly. I had a great experience and I am looking forward to training regularly.

Great experience. Kids love coming here! The instructors have a love for their craft!

Great gym with amazing classes and so many nice training partners on all levels. So happy every day walking into train and even more gratified walking out the door with incredible knowledge and experience. Such a special place!!

We love Emerge Jiu Jitsu. It is very clean, family run, and my son always feels welcome there. It’s great!

I was in Portland for a week, and only Emerge Jiu jitsu that allowed visitors to do drop-in. I went there for a couple classes, and rolled with several people. Overall, the atmosphere was great, and everyone was pretty nice and friendly. I highly recommend to check them out if youre in the area. Thanks Don & Jen for the hospitality!

Our experience with Emerge has been wonderful so far! Fantastic & welcoming atmosphere, great communication, lots of class options to choose from during the week to accommodate a busy schedule.

We had a great experience with Emerge Jiu Jitsu. Small town feel. Class was not overcrowded. My son enjoyed being able to test-out his first class with a “real” uniform. He is excited to return!

The coaches, instruction, and class structures are amazing, as are the wonderful teammates (you know who you are) that I have met. Everyone is very kind, funny, and always striving for personal greatness, encouraging strength and health physically, mentally, and emotionally. It is like having a second family that brings out the best in you and helps you never stop learning. Thank you to all of you!

Everyone here is friendly and more than willing to help! If you are nervous about starting jiu jitsu this is a great environment.

A great gym for anyone of any skill level/experience. Great learning environment and very friendly!

We love Emerge Jiu Jitsu!! Coach Don and Jennifer (and all the other coaches) are awesome, friendly and helpful. My boys are enjoying training at Emerge.

We love Emerge Jiu Jitsu! They are so friendly and welcoming. My kids joined recently and instantly felt at home. They are learning so much about Jiu Jitsu at every class! Great coaches and wonderful staff. Highly recommend!!! ❤️

Emerge is the ideal to learn jiu jitsu. Don, Jennifer and the rest of the coaching staff have worked hard to create a safe, friendly and warm environment to practice and learn jiu jitsu

We love Emerge. Everyone is so friendly & the coaches are great.

Emerge is so good with all the kids. So sweet at showing them how to articulate their skill. My girls love going.

It help improve my daughter self confident and help her to be much more independent.

Wonderful place for children to learn at a different level. Don, Jennifer and Matthew were so good to my son. I will have my son attend hopefully this year once our schedule is set. Our friends recommended this place to us and I would recommend family n friends as well.

Great environment to learn BJJ at any age

It’s always a great time! High Quality gym!Everyone there is nice and always respectful to one another. The coaches make the atmosphere and they are great! Knowledgeable, patient, kind, respectable, professional.

I have been going to Emerge for over a year now. When I first started going, my impression was that everyone was friendly and welcoming. It is a family friendly gym. Whether you are interested in learning Jiu Jitsu for self defense or competition, I highly recommend Emerge. If you are like I was and kept researching and putting off starting, the best thing to do is just call and sign up for a class. Better to start sooner than later! See you on the mats.

Ive been going to Emerge for several months and I absolutely love the place. Everyone is friendly and working to help each other improve. Ive never had an experience where I felt unsafe. The coaches care about each student and have created a warm and inviting gym.

Just recently started (about a month in), but friendly, professional, knowledgeable, and communicative instructors and staff providing a well rounded jiu-jitsu training experience for our two boys, aged 10. Thank you Jen, Don, and everyone else!

The group at Emerge is great. Knowledgeable, positive, flexible, team-oriented. The skills instruction is paced well so you’re moving at a speed that walks the line between fast but not too fast and manageable but not slow.All in all, Emerge is a great place to train.

Amazingly professional atmosphere and a great group of people. They make you feel like family.

Warm and positive enviroment that is welcoming to all. Still expect a challenge and personal growth.

Super quality people. Family owned and operated. My boy is the smallest and youngest in his class. He is treated very well every time he goes. Im very happy we decided to sign him up.

Very kind and knowledgeable teachers

I bring my son to kids classes here, and he loves it! The Coopers have provided an all around great experience, for which we are both greatful.

Dropped in for a could of classes while visiting the area. Don and Jennifer have really built something special here. The atmosphere is welcoming and the culture is true to what Ive come to love about jiu jitsu. Its a place focused on growing and learning together. People there are lifting each other up and making each other better through hard work and competition. I will be back the next time Im in town. Thank you guys for the rolls 🤙

Super amazing. Friendly staff willing to help and work with you on personal goals, proper technique etc. Everything was very comfortable and made for a great experience. Looking forward to continuing training here.

The orientation was fantastic and the trainers perfectly patient. Im already signed up and ready to go for the next session.

Ive been attending just over a year. The culture is very family oriented in mannerisms, and theres a lot of attention given to each person. The coaches and upper belts are top notch providing great instruction, and when its time to spar or roll, theyre formidable and challenging. Competing isnt required, but highly encouraged. They will help you get to where you want to be, if you truly want to get there. Show up and try a class out to see if it fits you.

This place is great. My daughter loves the kid classes. They have great classes for kids and adults. They are family friendly and woman friendly and even had a women only self defense class last weekend. They stand by their values and treat everyone with respect and kindness. I liked watching my daughters class so much, I have now joined the adult classes. If you are thinking about Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, this is your place!

Warm family friendly environment. Quality instruction.

My daughter has trained there for a while and she absolutely loves it! Its always so clean and everyone is so respectful to newer people. Its wonderful and my daughter looks forward to every class! I definitely recommend it

Love the atmosphere, love the people training here, my daughter says its like one big family. Respect, seriousness, and fun is all there!

Very friendly and welcoming. Great atmosphere.

Just moved to the area so my boyfriend and I dropped in for a class. Jeffs instruction was great and all of the students were so welcoming. I actually forgot my belt so one of the students let me borrow his. Much appreciated! This school has a great all inclusive vibe. Thank you for a great experience!

Supportive staff, Christian based, posture, structure, base fun. Fundamentally sound business that stays current and enjoyable.

Great experience for a newbie. Looking forward to returning. Many thanks to Don and Jennifer!

Great defense class for women. I learned so much and it was a safe and comfortable environment. I’m looking forward to training more. I’m glad I went out of my comfort zone and tried it. The instructors are very knowledgeable and respectful. It was a wonderful experience!

We totally love the place. Coach Don and Jennifer are both wonderful. Would definitely recommend it to anyone.

A wholesome environmental that you feel comfortable bringing your kids to but can still be challenged as an adult.

Great atmosphere and coaches...oss!

My son loves going to his clases !! I am a happy parent Coach Don is an amazing coach and Jennifer made us feel so comfortable and open arms to my son Isaac Jiu Jitsu journey!!

My son loves it. Coach Don is amazing! He is knowledgeable and very patient. I wish they have more coaches like him.

Don is the best coach. He KNOWS his stuff... and he’s able to TEACH it. The most patient man— kind, completely approachable... and still able to wrangle even the crazy little ones, and build these complex martial arts skills.More importantly... my daughters LOVE this sport. They’re learning valuable skills of self-defense, but it’s not an intimidating grind— they view it as FUN. They love showing up for practice, and both Coach Don and Coach Matthew (also awesome!) are one-in-a-million. (Or rather, TWO-in-TWO-million).

My 6year old son has been training at Emerge Jiu Jitsu for over 6months now and I was so impressed by the art and the gentle, genuine instruction and consistent encouragement here that I decided to start training along side my son as well as in the adult classes. I couldnt be more happy with Don and his family and the way they have helped my son grow in discipline, mental and physical health, and self esteem. Since beginning his training my wife and I have noticed considerable changes in his behavior, focus, and desire to learn in his homeschooling as well. If you or your children are looking into any sort of martial art or sport I highly recommend you try out Emerge Jiu Jitsu first!

This was the easiest place to fall in love with. The Coopers provide an amazing environment to learn this wonderful sport in. There are a lot of high level practitioners that role through here and share there knowlege. There is constant improvement on something already great. Soon this gym will be legendary. I am proud to be part of this team.

Not sure where to start, I have done Jiu Jitsu on and off for 2 years now. Taking a break from it was a big mistake, and the race to find a new Jiu Jitsu home was a long one. When I tried Emerge, I knew it would be a place Id anchor in. It is another family for me. Coach Don and his family are all around great human beings and I cant say enough great things about them. Its a safe, clean atmosphere that is welcoming which is rare at most gyms.Coach Don is a great, patient instructor whose advice is tangible.Coach Jeff has been an outstanding instructor both on and off the mat.Emerge is a church for me, it humbles the ego and really helps with the battles and struggles life brings.If you are reading this and on the fence as I once was a long time ago, just take the leap and come in and try it out. Its a lifestyle that will change you and Emerge is the place to do it!

My son has been going for almost 3 years and my daughter just started. Such a good environment for kids and adults to learn Jiu Jitsu fundamentals! Awesome owners! 10/10 recommend!

Really great environment. Coaches make you feel welcome and take time to give you 1 on 1 instruction.

A fantastic family BJJ gym that provides an inviting and friendly atmosphere for learning about Jiu Jitsu. The owners are involved every day with training in a variety of classes for all ages and skill levels. I have been going here for several months now since moving into the area and plan to keep attending classes for the foreseeable future.

My experience at Emerge has been wonderful. As a woman with no martial arts background this has been a safe, encouraging place to learn.The staff is so patient and friendly.The facilities are CLEAN, no stinky gym smells here. I am officially hooked!

Great place, great coaches, great people. Started here in November and have had a positive experience every time!

An absolutely fantastic place to train. Coach Don and Coach Matthew are super friendly and knowledgeable. The student base is welcoming and really supportive and the gym itself is super clean and beautiful. Im very happy I chose to train here and you will be too!!

Loved the lady I spoke too today, and am very excited to be introduced Tuesday!!! (Update), 2nd day of class and everyone is amazing at this facility. I would recommend to any age anyone

My daughter goes here and really enjoys it. The couches are great with younger kids, they have way more patience then I do.

Fantastic gym. Coach Don is very approachable, and his BJJ experience is extensive. The environment is serious enough for advanced students, and provides lots of help and input for the beginners as well. Great practice, great place, great people!

Myself and my kids have been training at Emerge for over a year and we love it. Very positive and supportive atmosphere. Coach Don is a phenomenal instructor and mentor along with Coach Mathew and coach Jeff they make a great team. If your looking to become a high level bjj practitioner or just looking for a great place to work out with a awesome team atmosphere Give Emerge a shot.

The class was great and the instructors/coaches were very patient, kind, and super informative! Weve known Don Cooper and his family for years and he is one of the very few men that I would completely trust my girls with.Im so impressed with what Ive seen that Im signing our whole family up! What a great way to learn self defense, discipline, and to condition and tone our bodies! Oh, and they are Christian, praying before and after class!

I have been incredibly happy with the instruction that I, and my kids, have receive at Emerge. It is a comfortable atmosphere without any pressure to perform. Coach Don and Coach Matthew are always encouraging, and they maintain a respectful and welcoming attitude within the gym.

This family owned gym is awesome. Love this place

Fantastic Self Defense class!!! Brought all my girlfriends and their daughters, and had a BLAST!! The owners, Don and Jennifer Cooper were awesome at explaining and demonstrating all the moves we learned! I would definitely recommend this gym to everyone, so impressed!!

Very comfortable gym with great teachers and students. Welcoming environment.

My 12 year old son absolutely LOVES learning Jiu Jitsu at Emerge!! Instructor Don is phenomenal. Physical activity isnt my boys favorite thing in the world, so it is wonderful to see him work on moves he learned in class at home. The parent area is comfortably set up and I have enjoyed getting some work done on the laptop while hes in class, so its a win-win for both of us!

The team here has created an open and inviting atmosphere for people of all skill levels to train and learn. Great job.

We love it here! I appreciate that not only are our kids learning jiu-jitsu, but they are gaining confidence, discipline and strength. Coach Don and Matthew are amazing with the kids, and have a wonderful balance of encouragement and firmness. Kids are expected learn the skills taught, and to also become good teammates. We highly recommend Emerge!

This is a great gym to get started on your BJJ training. The coaches are very knowledgeable. Very clean and inviting environment.

Just started jujitsu and it’s my new favorite hobby! Emerge has been a awesome gym with good instructors and great atmosphere.

Nice people good training

I just started classes at Emerge and am loving the family friendly environment. I cant wait till the next class and what I will learn from both Coach Don and Matthew in the many months to come! As a woman and being new to this, I felt intimidated at first, but was quickly put at ease by the not too overwhelming way in which both Coach Don and Matthew lead the class. Thank you Emerge BJJ!

Ive been bringing my daughter here for a few weeks and absolutely love it, great family environment and shes learning a lot. Wonderful family owned business

This place is awesome. Great coaches, challenging, encouraging and knowledgeable.Try it you’ll definitely love it.

Visited for a group self defense class. Learned quite a bit. Staff and on hand students were very professional, friendly and considerate.

The womens self-defense class was great - very useful! The staff and instructors are encouraging and great to work with. Thanks!

Great place! Good workout for my son, professional, respectful, quick response time when trying to get questions answered. Very competitive pricing! Love the family feel of it.

Awesome place and even better people!

Great people and a great place to train!

I recently went to emerge for an open mat time. The guys there were all really tough and technical.The head instructor Don was very friendly and welcoming to me and I look forward to rolling with those guys more!

I joined Emerge Jiu Jitsu to prep for the career in law enforcement. It has be a great experience.

I was staying in Vancouver and was ready to get some time on the mats. Everyone at Emerge Jiujitsu was great. Freindly and fun from warmups through rolls.Top notch hospitality as well!

Great experience, good training partners, really nice mats, very clean school. I plan on training there on a regular basis.

Excellent workout, clean facilities, excellent teaching, and encouraging instructors and participants! As an aside, I also really appreciate that when music is used it is not too loud.

Friendly and Fun environment.

Everyone is really inviting and friendly!

Great staff, great vibes, and great rolls!

Great place to train!
