"John at Prevail MMA is a great trainer and takes pride in passing on his knowledge to his students. Small class sizes, clean facilities and a friendly, welcoming atmosphere. I wouldn't train anywhere else."
"A coach who inspires all of those around him. John Brown is a master of teaching everything from the finer details of BJJ & MMA competition to mentoring young people in self defence.
