 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I've been training at Memento Combat Sports since early June, and I'm consistently impressed. The atmosphere and culture here are outstanding; everyone is friendly and dedicated to helping each other improve. The coaches are phenomenal-they don't just show techniques, they really focus on the small details and "nuggets" that help you elevate your game. I've already seen a huge improvement in my skills in just a few months. Whether you're into Jiu-Jitsu, MMA, or kickboxing, this gym is a gem. The emphasis on wrestling is a huge plus and makes the training incredibly well-rounded.

Wonderful Jiu Jitsu studio where the owner and coaches truly care about teaching and making each student (child and adult) better and more capable of defending themselves and growing in the sport! I couldn’t praise them enough!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. It’s not always common to find a Jiu jitsu instructor who is both a high level athlete, and a high level instructor, but Joseph Watson easily fills both of these rolls. If you’re looking for a place to call home and learn, or to simply stop in on your travels and get some good high level training in, in a safe and healthy environment, Memento is definitely that place.
