Trainning with Joel and Heather has been a fun experience. They are very dedicated to the art of Brazilian Jiu-jitsu,They are very knowledgeable and bring so much on the mat. You will not be disappointed. Both Joel and Heather are family oriented and bring an atmosphere you will feel comfortable in.
I came to Mountain Home for a month and I wanted to continue training. American Viking welcomed me in, charged me a very reasonable rate for the month, and let me roll to my hearts content. The classes are an hour.

Your first BJJ class at American Viking Jiu-Jitsu
Nervous about walking into a BJJ gym for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good coaches expect beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, then drilling basic positions and escapes with a partner — not hard sparring. Rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: athletic wear you can move in (or a gi if you have one); you'll train barefoot on the mats. What to bring: water and a mouthguard if you have one — many gyms lend a loaner gi for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gi (or a rashguard and shorts for no-gi) and a mouthguard. Live rolling eases in gradually, once your fundamentals are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the coach. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
