Certified instruction. Proven methods. Real growth.
Why It Works
At 570 Jiu Jitsu, we don’t just teach kids how to grapple — we help them grow into confident, capable, and respectful young people. Here’s why our approach works:
​
-
Decades of Experience: Coach Scott has been teaching martial arts for nearly 20 years and has helped hundreds of students thrive — on and off the mat.
-
Real Mentorship: We meet every child where they are. New students aren’t thrown into the deep end — we build their skills step-by-step with structure and encouragement.
-
Trauma-Informed Coaching: With a professional background in mental health and de-escalation, Coach Scott brings patience, insight, and emotional intelligence to every class.
-
Safe, Structured Training: Sparring is optional for beginners and always done with clear guidance and supervision. Kids build confidence through success — not chaos.
-
Community First: We’ve built a welcoming space where kids feel seen, valued, and supported. That’s why families stay, and students grow.
-
This isn’t just training. It’s transformation.

Absolutely incredible gym with a wonderful community and excellent coaching. Coach Scott has brought an exceptional program that lends itself to any skill level. My kids are in the children’s class and they love it. The space is clean and organized with an inviting environment. I would recommend 570 Jiu Jitsu to anyone.

I was a bit apprehensive walking into 570 with my son, not sure what to expect. But we were greeted warmly and felt completely at ease. Scott is incredible with the kids — keeping them engaged, on-task, and still allowing time for play and exploration. My son has grown so much and is now more confident and secure.
