It's a great way to stay in shape and keep motivated. Nothing helps me shed stress from a work week better. I'm calm and more focused at work. Would recommend to anyone interested. John is a great teacher and brings broad knowledge and patience to coach kids and adults alike. Riley Fowle2025-03-31Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Nathan & Ali2025-03-28Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’ve been training in jiu jitsu for over 10 years around the DFW metroplex. I currently live in McKinney and started training at Motus with Professor John Kolinofsky last year. I really like the location in central McKinney, as it is super convenient, and his program is more reasonably priced than the other gyms in the area. John is a really nice guy, and he is very knowledgeable in both Jiu Jitsu and Judo. It’s been a nice place for me to train and it’s friendly to all skill levels. Juan Rock2025-03-26Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. professor Kolinofsky, is patient with both children and adults. He is not afraid to explain things, as many times as needed. I joined this class barely knowing any Jiu Jitsu. Now I am finally gaining confidence in this sport, and things are making more sense. Did I mention that this is A LOT OF FUN!?!?! I highly recommend MOTUS Jiu Jitsu, if you want to exercise and have fun.
