From the reviews
Laid back, friendly atmosphere, catering to both serious competitors and the casual enthusiast. Fun, fitness, sport, and self-defense combined for adults and kids! I was treated like family when I walked in. Stop in and see Nick & Rachel today!
Dropped in to Lake effect while I was in Marquette for a few days. I’ve been training for about 15 years and got some great rolls in - Nick is a tough black belt and his junior belts are skilled too.
An extremely clean and well kept facility! The atmosphere is very welcoming and friendly and the technique is on point! Definitely the premiere martial arts school in Marquette and the Upper Peninsula!
They run top notch kid and teen classes, keeps them moving and engaged for the duration.
Your first BJJ class at Lake Effect 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.
