"I’ve been training with Keven at Packhouse for a few months and love his BJJ and self defense classes. He manages to make each class challenging, welcome to all levels and fun! He is great at breaking down BJJ techniques while also explaining real-life self-defense applications. The classes are also pretty community driven as Keven takes to time to keep his students informed and inspired off the mat. If you’ve ever wanted to try a BJJ class, this is a great class!"

“Highly recommend Keven’s BJJ and boxing classes! What makes Keven stand out is his combination of passion, expertise, and caring nature. The programming at Pack House is thoughtful and progressive — not random like other group classes can be. Keven always explains the why behind the movements, which helps us advance and keeps us safe. The community that trains here is awesome — I've made friends here, and sometimes we grab a drink after class!"

“I was a complete beginner to Jiu Jitsu and the all women class turned out to be the perfect entry point. Keven, the instructor, made us feel instantly comfortable while still challenging us. He is very caring and dedicated to sharing his passion. It did not matter our level, he took the time to lead every single one of us through the class. The class made me feel strong, gave me confidence, but also was sooo fun! We had such a great group of girls where we got to learn while also having a fun time. If you’re an adult out there, wanting to challenge yourself and try something new, I can only recommend Pack House!"

“Classes are well thought out so beginners like me could dive right in without feeling overwhelmed. Keven, the instructor, is articulate when demonstrating moves step by step and patient when guiding his students to get the right form. If you’re looking for a welcoming entry point to Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, this is the place.”
