Notes from Our Students
Studying Gracie Jiu Jitsu with a Pedro Sauer Association school has truly been a
life-changing experience. Not only is instruction at Precision focused on excellent
technique for self-defense, but also, and perhaps more importantly, on development of
good character. Safety and respect are paramount aspects of the training. I have seen
in myself and in my boys both physical improvement and increased confidence and
poise. The instructors at Precision really emphasize integrity, respect, honesty, loyalty,
and perseverance, along with physical conditioning safety, and technique over brute
strength. It is an honor to have the opportunity to train at such a quality school.

Our son has Autism and is different than most kids. We came to precision jiu-jitsu hoping to teach him to defend himself and to diffuse a situation before he got hurt. He was welcomed from the first moments in the academy. He was introduced to the class as “a new friend”. It was apparent his body didn’t work the way the other kid’s did, but that didn’t and hasn’t ever mattered. He was taken into the class and encouraged and celebrated from the first day. When he first started he could barely crawl, he could not run, he could not hop or any of the simply things people take for granted. Now he CAN, And he can defend himself. He has so much fun training and rolling with the others. The behavioral problems have decreased with the increase in abilities. The transformation has been remarkable. Jiu-Jitsu has provided for him those things that we could not, and he is growing remarkably. He is not an outsider and he loves his class and Instructors. I will say, Precision Jiu-jitsu has made a positive change in his life, and by that our lives as well. While it is not a cure for autism, it is a wonderful place to be. Thank you all.

I started training jiu jitsu in college, and began training with Precision in 2009 when I moved to Idaho. I was completely new to the gi, and had absolutely no concept of patience. Instead, I relied on speed and strength to try and force opponents into poor positions. In the 2 and a half years since I started training at Precision, my skill level has increased dramatically. No longer to I go onto the mat with a bigger guy and simply hope I can be more aggressive than he is. Precision taught me the important thing is to focus on surviving, and to take the opportunities my opponent presents.
No matter where I go to train, I get comments that my jiu jitsu is fluid, and that I’m lucky to train where I do. I couldn’t agree more.

I am SO HAPPY that my kids both wanted to get into jiu jitsu... Precision has been so wonderful for them! They both LOVE the environment and the teachers! They have taught my kids, not only how to defend themselves, but strong values that will help them throughout their entire lives! I highly recommend Precision Jiu Jitsu for kids and adults!!!
