From the reviews
I’ve been training with Shihan Walt since 2002 and during that time he has brought in numerous living legends and other World Class coaches to help us his students reach our utmost potential as Martial Artists.
My three children attended classes at Lysak's from the time they were 5 or 6 until they were teenagers. As a parent, I can't say enough good things about Walt, his program, and the rest of the staff. My son is now 25 and a U.S. Marine. He still loves training and stops in to the dojo whenever he's in town.
THE best mixed martial arts academy out there!! Amazing staff, phenomenal students from 4 years old to the oldest! No judgment, no bullying, no superiority complexes. Top of the line equipment. teaching techniques are unparalleled and easy to understand no matter your age or expirence level! Give them a try!
I agree with Mr. Burgess, Walt Lysak's education provides an all around superior technical skill combined with interpersonal skill to all who trained and live by his principles.
Your first BJJ class at Sento Mixed Martial Arts Academy
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.
