Prodigy is a top notch place to learn BJJ. Being new to the sport I didn't know what to expect, but Thao, Justin and all the instructors are extremely nice and welcoming. I really like the kids can attend their class at the same time as adults have class. It makes it much easier (and quicker) to get everyone thru class. 5 stars all around!

I did my first class today and really loved it! The kick boxing coach was so welcoming and kind:) and the facility in general were very respectful and positive. Jujitsu was really fun too, and the people were so helpful . I will 100% be coming back!!!

I just got a punch card here at Prodigy and I’m so excited! The trainers are very experienced and also very compassionate to a beginner like my self — helping and guiding me. The environment is clean and is big enough for the class sizes.

Prodigy is the place to be! Everything that you could look for is at this gym. The training enviroment is super welcoming and the perfect place to give martial arts a try! Every coach is phenomenal and are willing and ready to work with any level of experience you have. Honestly taking my first jiu-jitsu class was one of the best decisions of my life. If you are interested at all, do it! You won't look back.

This is an incredible academy. The owners / instructors are friendly, welcoming, and accessible. The facility is very clean and spacious with a refreshing amount of natural light. They offer a kids class upstairs that coincides with the adult class downstairs (this is brilliant). Prices are very competitive, especially when considering the family and prepaid packages. No contracts, no shady salesman tactics - which is a breath of fresh air compared to some other academies in the area.The BJJ instruction is highly technical, covering the latest sport / competition techniques while not abandoning self-defense (they manage a great balance). There is a white to blue class that focuses on foundational techniques, an advanced class, and nogi class offering too. Rolls are not part of the technique session, which allows you to bounce if you need to, and if you want to roll you have plenty of time to stick around and do so. This place is owned and operated by black belts, and it shows in how well run things are. Lastly, the people are awesome!! Highly recommended.

The gym boasts a huge and spring-loaded mat space that prevents injuries, making it an ideal place for both beginners and experienced fighters.What stands out about Prodigy Martial Arts is their commitment to providing a space for everyone, including kids and their parents. They have an upper floor dedicated to the smaller children's training, and adult and youth classes are offered daily, making it a perfect place for families to train together. The coaches are knowledgeable and positive, creating a supportive and motivating environment that encourages students to reach their full potential.I can't wait to come back and become a pro over the summer!

The instructors are very friendly and work to ensure that you have the correct moves down. For novices like me, I definitely needed some extra attention. Each instructor breaks it down and makes sure you truly understand. I really appreciate that and am looking forward to going back!

I had wanted to get into jiu jitsu for years but had so many worries and fears so I kept putting it off. I thought I would just get beat up, made fun of or get hurt. I finally pulled the trigger because my friend got a membership at Prodigy so I thought I would atleast try it. I AM OBSESSED! Not only was I worried for nothing but I had no idea the excitement and joy I was missing out on. Prodigy Martial Arts is a fantastic gym. The cleanliness is immaculate. The friendliness is more than welcoming. The vibes are chill , everyone is there to have fun, learn and support each other. The music is vibing lol and the work out is top notch. Truly a spectacular gym with incredible Instructors. I would recommend Prodigy to absolutely anyone

Amazing place full of positive energy and all the coaches where awesome 100% recommend to new people looking for signing up. I was nervous at first thinking it was gonna be a scary place but I was welcomed very well.
Sean J.

One nice draw for me was that they didn't try to close me after the free introductory class. They also didn't require a contract. And finally, they didn't mind that my boys wrestle, and would train bjj less frequently during season. But the biggest thing was that they told me my kids wouldn't have to pair with anyone they didn't feel comfortable with. I tested that with one of the kids, and they switched out politely with no problem. Since 5 of us wanted to sign up, we did the family package, which breaks down to $63/month/person. That's like going back to the 1990's pricing rates. The mat is a high quality leathery authentic jiu-jitsu (not wrestling) mat, and the moves we practiced worked. I'm 51 years-old, fat, and unflexible, and I lost 4 lbs the first day. Can't wait to watch the lbs melt away. As for the kids, they love the idea of belonging to a group, learning how to defend themselves, and can't wait for the next class. No complaints here.

Awesome experience. Great instructors, friendly students, everyone is welcoming. I highly recommend Prodigy over other Jiu-Jitsu and Maury Thai gyms. If you live in the Blaine area, it is a no brainer, if you live 20 or 30 miles away or more, it is worth the drive.

Fantastic instructors like Thao, Mike and Justin are what makes this place that much better. When I started, I had no idea what kind of fire was going to be lit inside me, I’ve gained so much more respect and stoicism along with a burning passion for Jiu Jitsu.Thank you Prodigy Martial Arts.Sincerely Zachary Bassett.

My kids LOVE these classes and go to as many as they are able to each week. It is great physical exercise plus they are learning skills in listening and carrying out various techniques. The instructors learn the students’ names, make sure they all receive some individual attention each class period, and are patient and encouraging. I can’t say enough good things about this studio and the owners/instructors.

I had zero BJJ experience prior to joining eight months ago. The instructors here take the time teaching all skill levels and made me feel welcomed from the start. The culture here is better than any other sport/gym I have been apart of. It feels like one big family as everyone here looking to improve their game along with helping those newbies like me. Highly recommend starting at Prodigy if you want to give BJJ a try.
Anthony O.
1671080359
I have been a member of Prodigy for a year now. I can’t say enough good things about this place. It’s the longest I’ve ever stuck to a physical exercise, because I found that traditional exercise was really not for me. BJJ has become part of the fabric of my life, and that of my family as well, now that my wife and kids have started regularly hitting classes too. That is all thanks to the work that Mike, Thao, and Justin have put into creating a space where everybody is welcome, but where everybody is encouraged to work hard, yet also to have fun. The space is clean and inviting. Besides Mike, Thao, and Justin, all the other instructors are top notch as well, bringing a wide variety of experience in combat sports beyond just BJJ and Muay Thai. Whether you’re looking for a place to call home, or just passing through, come check it out. Join our growing family!

Whenever I travel, I find a BJJ school to train at during my stay. Prodigy stands out because 1) the instructors are very knowledgeable and skilled and know how to communicate that knowledge effectively to the students, 2) it is literally the cleanest school I have ever been to which makes me feel very safe, 3) there is a wide range of students from size, gender to belt rank/skill level to roll with and 4) the students and instructors could not be a nicer group of people!

Our experience at Prodigy has been incredible. I was looking for a gym where I could train at the same time as my two boys. I could go on and on about how fantastic our experience has been, but I'll just share a few things. First the kids classes are fun, engaging, and they are helping them build to build a solid foundation. This is the longest my boys have been part of anything where I didn't have to fight them to go. In fact, they are the ones asking if they can go. As far as adult classes go, I love the coaching, the programming, and the gym space. The community at Prodigy has been wonderful and welcoming. My boys and I are grateful to be part of Prodigy.

This place is special! The facility is spotless, the mat space is huge and spring loaded so as to prevent injuries, and they offer a wide variety of classes. All three owners are world-class martial artists, they are there everyday supporting their students.Finally and, most important, is the gym culture. The owners work insanely hard to make sure all students are welcome and are progressing. They created a space where some of the best fighters on earth train alongside kids and their parents. 10/10 would recommend - both for those with world champion aspirations but also those simply learning to defend themselves and wanting to do so in one of the most welcoming gyms in the Midwest.
N J.

I'm a member of the gym with my grade school aged kids. They demand that we go as often as possible because they love the classes. Both of them have become noticeably more confident because the training works. BJJ is a functional martial art and the instructors are extremely knowledgeable.

My family has been coming here for the last 7 months and we couldn’t be happier about it. The staff and instructors are top of the line. Everyone is so welcoming and friendly. The training couldn’t be better. Coming here has been the best decision we have made.An added plus is they also have an area to workout as well.

Everyone is so inviting and friendly. The instruction applies to everyone, absolute beginners to the more seasoned veterans of the sport. For me, going to a 'regular' gym was so boring. In doing jiu-jitsu, I get to exercise, socialize, and learn a valuable skill. 10/10 would recommend for anyone and everyone.

An amazingly clean and friendly environment. The instructors are very knowledgeable and welcoming. It doesn’t matter if you have been doing Jiu-jitsu and/or Muay Thai for years or your brand new, the team at Prodigy has all skill levels covered. Also, they have a fantastic kids program that runs simultaneously with the adults class so both you and your children can enjoy the great benefits martial arts. Losing weight and getting in shape can be tough, but the team at Prodigy really creates an atmosphere that makes getting in shape a blast. I’m not just saying that just to be kind, but in my first year this year at Prodigy I have lost nearly 100lbs and loved every day of it!! 😁

I cannot say enough positive things about Prodigy. The owners (Thao, Justin and Mike) are extremely knowledgeable and inviting. It is a family-friendly gym with a whole host of serious Jiu-jitsu practitioners willing to help anyone that walks through the door. Every single upper belt has been so willing to share their knowledge and help anytime I've asked. No matter your personal goals they can accommodate them from general fitness all the way through training to compete. Age doesn't matter (I started at 50 and just earned my blue belt 1.5 yrs later). If you're thinking about starting.....RUN don't walk, to Prodigy and you won't regret it. I wish I had started 30 years ago, but really glad I started when I did and looking forward to the journey.

Started at Prodigy after extended time off from BJJ. Great vibe here and I felt welcomed from the start by both instructors and students. The classes I’ve been taking are followed immediately by open mat with a lot of participation, which gives you the flexibility to do as much rolling as your schedule permits for the day. As an older player with some outside responsibilities, that flexibility is huge. Instruction is excellent -- they’ve got a great thing going at Prodigy!

I haven't been training for that long but from my short experience I can tell you that everyone in there is very friendly, they have great chemistry with one another, instructors with a great wealth of knowledge of the art, are very patient especially with newcomers, a fun and family like environment, lots of space to roll Matts look pretty good, I definitely recommend anyone who wants to learn jiu jitsu in a Good environment

I am completely new to martial arts and 44 years old. The instructors have been nothing short of excellent pushing me to learn in a way that is at my pace without making me feel like a failure. Everyone there makes you want to learn. Its hard work and a little intimidating, but once your in class, you forget about it and are driven to try harder by your own want to be better. They have spent extra time showing me the correct way to move when I have felt lost during classes and have never treated me like a burden. I truly can't thank them enough for the experience and am hopeful they will continue to be part of my long journey. Thanks very much to all that have pushed and helped me.

Just started taking my oldest son here for lessons. He was a little nervous and shy on his first day. He got through most of it but wanted to disengage toward the end. The instructors were great with him throughout the lesson and one of them talked with me and my son afterwards. I think this is going to be a great place for my kids and looking forward to having it help build confidence.

Our son visited Prodigy on a Friday and participated in a review class with various teachers and multiple-level students, and it was an excellent experience! We were greeted at the door, treated very caringly by the involved, warm staff, and he was allowed to participate in the night's class for free. He spent the time training with other students and the teachers who led the class, and we left after the class with a confidence and assurance that this dojo was a wonderful place to build my son's self-defense, self-discipline, and core strength skills. We are now members of Prodigy and will be attending there a few days a week :)I highly recommend Prodigy for friendliness and the thoughtful, developmentally-appropriate instruction of Jiu-Jitsu.

Prodigy is a great environment for all levels, beginners to black belts. The instructors/owners take pride in their school, which is a really nice facility. Starting anything new can be intimidating, but everyone is very welcoming and extremely knowledgeable. If you want to learn jiu jitsu or muay thai, this is the place to do it.
