Coach Ryan Clark is a huge inspiration has a great head on his shoulders teaches more than jiu-jitsu such as breathing techniques and how to deal with anxiety. He is very involved in everyone's lives in the gym and out of the gym. He trains all of his coaches to be top-notch leaders. This is hands-down the best gym in town. When I have a bad day every time I come into jiu-jitsu here at Clarks University I get a huge Kool-Aid smile on my face as I see everyone and their smiles as well. I would highly recommend this gym to anyone and everyone. Thank you Ryan Clark for having an amazing facility and staff!
