Ive been a part of Deep Water for a few years now and I have to say that the quality of instruction and family atmosphere there is unparalleled in the central PA area. I have been a part of many sports and trained at other schools before, none of which compare to Deep Water. Many times when it comes to athletics there seems to be a trend towards favouritism where only the stars are able to shine and they garner the coaches primary attention. At Deep Water there is no such thing. You get the recognition for the work you put in and every student and teacher is there to help you along the way, no question goes unanswered and in the rare event an instructor cannot answer your question during class they will be more than willing to assist you after. Deep Water has made me more self-confident in my everyday life and is truly the first team Ive been a part of that makes me feel like family and not just a student or team-mate. We have a lot of fun at Deep Water but when it comes to training (more so when preparing for competition) it is a very disciplined environment which is what you should expect from any high caliber sports team or martial arts school. Deep Water is for anyone from all walks of life whether you want to get in shape, become better at defending yourself, compete in Jiu Jitsu, Boxing, Muay Thai, MMA, or just want to make life-long friendships Deep Water is the place to be. If I move out of the Harrisburg area after college I can only hope to find a school with this level of quality anywhere else.

As someone who has competed in athletics, at varying levels, throughout my whole life, I was looking for an outlet. I still play in some adult sport leagues from time to time, and even did a little boxing, but I was feeling uninterested - I needed something to inspire some passion in me and give me a desire to train and improve myself. So, one day, I got in contact with an old friend who had been posting about Brazilian Jiu Jitsu on facebook, and he suggested I should come in and try Deep Water. Sometimes walking into a gym full of combat-based athletes can be a little tense or even very intimidating, so I didnt know what to expect. But within seconds of being at the gym for the first time I felt welcomed, accepted and respected. After my first one-on-one session with Coach G, I quickly signed up and I have been hooked ever since. I dont even feel that I am "going to the gym" anymore. Im going to Deep Water to have some fun with friends (that includes the coaches). Even more than that, I get to satisfy my desire to compete. I have found something that inspires me to train and improve myself. Im very happy with where I am at physically and mentally thanks to my training at Deep Water. And I am always looking forward to the next time I am on the mat.

I began training BJJ in 2012 and have been training 3-6 days a week ever since. BJJ has helped me to lose over 20 lbs and whipped me into the best shape of my life. Moreover, I have experienced a great deal personal growth through training BJJ and I urge anyone who is on the fence about joining to take the plunge. I have been training at Deep Water on and off for over a year now and from the moment I walked through the door I was greeted as though the coaches had known me for years. The feeling of a family at Deep Water is truly palpable from the minute you enter the academy. The quality of instruction and character of the instructors has created a warm, welcoming environment and attracted many great members with which to train. Everyone at the gym is friendly and more than willing to help you improve your jiu jitsu game. Additionally, if you are interested in competing the quality of instruction and the caliber of the training partners at the academy is the best in the area. So if you are looking for a place to train BJJ, boxing, or even just a place to drop a few lbs and meet some great new people, Deep Water BJJ is the place to be.

Deep Water Brazilian Jiu Jitsu has been such a huge impact in my life since leaving the Army. When I first got out I was more or less alone, with little to no physical activity, and dealing with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. Immediately upon going in for my consultation and meeting one of the coaches who had also served, I felt right at home, Within weeks of training there I had begun to pick up on the sense of comradery that I had been missing since leaving my unit. The atmosphere of the gym is one of learning, fun, and a competitive nature focused on success. The coaches are top notch and always have time to help their students with whatever questions they have whether related to a particular technique, the right mindset, or even health and nutrition questions. And finally the classes themselves are informative and allow students to be both technically and tactically proficient in matters of self defense and in tournaments. If you are looking for a first rate martial arts academy, look no further than Deep Water Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.

First time I stopped in here was a couple years ago. After speaking with Scott I found out they could not accommodate my work schedule at the time. I was working crazy hours and in the National Guard. I told them I would stop back if my work schedule ever changed. About two years later I stopped back in and signed up for classes. Not only did Scott remember me but he also remembered a lot of details about that 20 min original meeting we had. I was very impressed from the moment I walked in the door. I have been attending the Muay Thai class there for about a month and a half now. It has been a great experience. My initial goal was to just get in better shape. After attending an event with everyone my new goal is to compete eventually down the line. I have looked around at multiple places before this decision. From what I have found this place really stands out. I am extremely impressed with this gym and the instructors. If you have time to stop in and check it out I can guarantee you will not regret it!!

I recently joined Deep Water and I am entering my third week. As with any new venture, I had a little fear of what was in store but immediately, I was made to feel like I had belonged there and had been a part of their family for a long time. The instructors are thorough with their teachings and the more experienced students are always helpful and willing to assist you until you feel confident that you understand the movements. I had to miss one class because of being sick and I felt like I was missing out because the atmosphere itself is so positive and insightful. I would highly recommend Deep Water. The cost and time invested is not only well worth it, but I actually feel like I got a deal! Call and ask for Seth and get started today. You wont regret it!

Ive been at Deep Water BJJ for over a year and I can tell you that no matter what your goals are, Deep Water BJJ is where you can achieve them. The sport of BJJ is excellent for staying in shape, learning self defense, and for expanding your interests outside of your comfort zone. Deep Water BJJ is filled with very friendly, humble, and fun people. This makes for an addicting combination and youll wish you had joined sooner. Before Jiu Jitsu I was a computer nerd. Now Im a computer nerd who knows Jiu Jitsu. When you join Deep Water BJJ youll realize Jiu Jitsu is for everyone. Join us and youll get to learn a new skill, meet new people, and have a blast! Plus, we warm up with dodgeball... so youre already missing out on the fun.
