"I’ve been doing Jiu Jitsu for almost fifteen years and I’ve trained at six different academies with multiple instructors. There is no one I can think of more fondly than Kevin. He’s a great teacher, great with kids, and genuinely one of the nicest people I’ve ever met. I’m so glad he has started his own academy as he has years and years of experience in jiu jitsu as well as wrestling and boxing. I would be training with him right now but unfortunately life has resigned me to North Carolina. Anyway, train with Kevin, you’ll get good!"

"Kevin is widely recognized jiu-jitsu coach and competitor, multiple times world champion and I'm sure you can ask about him anywhere in the country and people will know him.
Being a great competitor is one thing but teaching is another.
I had a chance to train with Kevin and after 5 minutes realized he loves the sport and is super passionate about teaching. If you live in the area, consider yourself lucky because you have a chance to train with not only one of the best BJJ competitors in the country but also a great coach and someone who truly loves jiu-jitsu."

"I sought Kevin out based on a recommendation. BEST thing I ever did!!! I have a wrestling background but also have 5 spinal fusions under my belt with all the metal to prove it. I didn’t believe it was the best idea to jump right into classes so I started private lessons with Kevin. I’m 51 years old, and I have working with Kevin for about two years now. I am already further than I thought I could ever be. The terms that come to mind when I think about Kevin are honesty, loyalty, accountability, and respect. Throughout my training I constantly wanted to jump in and just go to the grappling, coach Kevin told me hang back a little bit wait until it’s your time. He was absolutely right and he knew where I was in training better than I did. All I can say is that Coach Kevin Will take you where you need to be when you need to be there and give you tools to be successful while you’re there. No beating around the bush just pure honesty and friendship. I consider Kevin to be a true friend fist and a coach second."

"There aren't enough accolades in my lexicon to properly describe how awesome this place is. Uncle Kevin isn't merely a 3-times Jiu-Jitsu World Champion, he is an incredible instructor and coach. He is great at explaining fundamentals and basic concepts to individuals with no experience and a master at perfecting the game of those who have been training for years. The ladies who train at Trinity are incredibly welcoming and eager to learn. I highly recommend you stop by and check out one of the amazing classes they offer."
