“3yrs ago I was looking for a hobby. Walking in the door at Terra Luta was one of the best decisions of my life. Without the lessons learned and amazing group of people I wouldn’t be where I am today.”
“I started almost 13 years ago, initially it was to lose weight and gain confidence. Over the years Terra Luta has become my second home. I get to train with close friends daily in an environment where the training is both hard nosed and lighthearted.”
— Tim Aitken (Black Belt) Personal Trainer
“Rex and the gang at Terra Luta are a fantastic crew. My daughter (11) goes there and really enjoys it. Rex makes the class fun but also pushes the kids to get better. Excellent place for kids and adults alike.”

“3.5yrs ago I signed up after watching my Son train at the kids classes. I was fascinated by the techniques and strategy. Being an older woman, training at TLBJJ has challenged me to grow, physically, mentally, and emotionally. For me, training has been another way to learn more about myself, gain confidence, and have fun at the same time. The coaches and training partners are so helpful and friendly. I’m thoroughly addicted, and wish I’d discovered BJJ sooner!”
— Kerry Moran (Blue Belt)
