What people say.
I’ve learned so much.
I’ve only been training here a few weeks, but I already feel like I’ve learned so much. Peter is patient, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in helping you improve. He’s created such a welcoming, respectful environment with a real emphasis on learning solid technique in a way that makes sense and sticks. The people who train here are great, too — considerate, supportive, safe & just fun to train with! It’s an awesome little community and I’m super thankful to be a part of it!
Technical jiu jitsu focus.
Peter is an awesome instructor! Solid guy on and off the mats. Love having a place to train where there is no EGO and focuses on technical jiu jitsu.
A place I could call home.
From the moment I walked into PHD Jiu Jitsu academy, I knew I’d found a place I could call home. It’s very clean, has great lighting, and the layout is really well thought out. I immediately felt comfortable and focused. You can tell Peter has put a ton of time, thought, and passion into every detail.
Everyone I’ve met has been incredibly welcoming, friendly, and helpful. There’s no ego—just people who genuinely want to help each other become better BJJ practitioners and better people.
The atmosphere Peter has created really pushes you to be a better version of yourself, and getting better at BJJ is the natural side effect.
I’ve had quite a few teachers and instructors over the years, and while most have been really good, Peter is someone who really stands out to me. He’s incredibly knowledgeable, patient, methodical, and pays attention to the little details that can make such a big difference. More than anything, he makes you want to learn. The atmosphere he creates makes training fun, and I find myself genuinely looking forward to the next lesson or open mat. I’m really glad I found this place and get the chance to learn from Peter.
