For the past 2.5 years, my son has been training under the mentorship of David. Since training with David, my son has not only gained significant skills and technique in the sport but has also had values of self-confidence, discipline, and camaraderie instilled in every session. David’s ability to create a supportive atmosphere is truly commendable. He seems to always know when to challenge the kids and when to offer extra encouragement. His dedication, passion, and genuine care for his students make him more than just a coach; he’s a mentor, a role model, and a true asset to the BJJ community. I highly recommend joining Disciple BJJ.

I highly recommend this gym to any parent who is looking for a safe, inclusive and fun place for their child to learn jiu-jitsu. David instills good morals and respect for opponents. He is knowledgeable, consistent, and kind while also teaching discipline and respect on and off the mats.

Coach David has been so nice from the start, and positive! He is a great coach to me and everyone else on the team. He is very good for being so young. He is loud enough to hear over the crowd and is very supportive. I am very glad to be one of his students!

I have trained with David since 2017 when he was still a green belt. We instantly had chemistry as training partners - he has been a very instrumental influence in my Jiu-Jitsu journey, we have spent countless hours on the mats. Looking forward to many more years of training together.”

My family and I met David in 2018 when my wife and I decided to put our girls into BJJ. David was an assistant coach at the time, he did an amazing job helping them to feel comfortable in a new setting and developing their skills in a fun and efficient way. A few months later I joined the adult classes where I was personally introduced to David, and he very quickly became my most important coach. David's passion and understanding for jiu-jitsu shines through every day. He's an excellent role model for everyone young and old; no matter who you are or what your skills/goals are, he always treats you like you're the most important athlete in the room.

I have been training under David for 3 years, when I started my thoughts were “I'm going to do this to get into shape.” I found a second home in David's jiu jitsu classes. His coaching establishes a welcoming and effective training environment. Not long after I started, I found myself attending 3-4 classes per week and eventually participating in local grappling tournaments, something that I would not have done without David's coaching on and off the mats. I would recommend anyone, beginner, white belt to blackbelt to train with Dave. He also doesn't duck out of rolls with the heavyweights..!
