BARDIA
First impressions set the tone of a relationship. I was walking by on an errand when I noticed the sign for martial arts in front of Industrial Strength Gym. The picture above was two competitors sparring in no-gi Brazilian Jiu-jitsu and in the heart of St. Johns, Portland no less. I walked in and I was immediately greeted warmly and openly. I shared I have trained BJJ before and that set the tone with myself and Tony where he gave me an immediate tour, a breakdown of the schedule, pricing, and all the other incidentals. It immediately felt that I would be a part of a team that is there to train and support each other in the sport we love.
Since joining Industrial Strength I have become a big fan of the team and the program they’re putting together. An inclusive group looking to always support each other, build each other, develop our skills, and bring fun into everyday martial arts and fitness. I look forward to going to my class each day.
VICKIE
I love this gym. Here’s why:
Knowledgeable Coaches: Form and safety are emphasized both in strength training as well as jiu jitsu. Explanations are clear and questions encouraged.
Everything is orderly and easy to find. The gym, bathrooms and shower are clean and all the little details accounted for (extra hair ties in the bathrooms).
Culture and Community: I love that during class, everyone cheers for each other. There’s a healthy sense of competition, but that is never overshadowed by the shared desire to see your teammates get better. And new members are welcomed with the same enthusiasm.
I can’t recommend Industrial Strength enough, and do often. I encourage you to check it out.
TOMMY
BJJ at Industrial Strength is top notch! The facility is very clean. The students are friendly and want everyone to do well.
SMITH
I participate in the BJJ classes at Industrial Strength. Before Industrial Strength I had no experience in martial arts. I started training because I watched the UFC and wanted to learn how to be able to defend myself.
