Team Luiz Palhares of West Virginia

As someone who trains there and a parent who watches their children attend classes as well, I must say Imperium is an awesome place to train! Not only is the instruction top notch, but you also get the personal attention and family atmosphere that makes training so interesting and exciting. Gene and Tamara are both excellent instructors and can demonstrate even the most complex techniques in an easy to understand fashion. I can honestly say starting at the gym was one of the best experiences I have had, especially with organized sports. Everyone is welcoming and eager to assist with any questions. 5 Stars isn’t a high enough rating for Imperium.

Professor Gene and Tamara went above and beyond to make my daughter feel comfortable while training at this one of a kind BJJ Gym. Very thankful for people like them and a place like this. Will be returning for more classes soon!

Amazing gym. The instructors are the best. My husband and daughter both loved going to train here. Would highly recommend for all ages, skill levels.

This gym is one of a kind! You won’t find a team like this anywhere else. Brand new or seasoned expert, everyone is welcome! The instructor is amazing and it shows in every single individual that makes up the team! So thankful to have been a part of it 😊

This gym has been so GREAT for our family. Gene and Tamara do an excellent job challenging those who are ready, and teaching & guiding those that are new to the sport! I would highly recommend this gym to anyone!!

Instructors are very knowledgeable and wonderful people. Very inviting for new comers and everyone from beginners to experts are accepted with arms wide open. Price is more then reasonable. It’s very comforting knowing that they teach the kids class as a self defense class.

One of the best BIJ gyms around! Coaches are very knowledgeable and can/will teach any skill level!

They go above and beyond to run a great gym!

Great place to start your Gracie Jiujitsu journey. Very welcoming of new students and a great place to train for children and adults. There are lots of opportunities to train with morning, evening, nogi, kids, self-defense, and fundamental classes. Professor Gene has private training classes available as well. Stop in and say hi, first week free and they have loaner gis for new students.
