Miles Bell, Martial Arts Instructor

Our 4 year old was being bullied so we signed him up for jiu jitsu under coach Rafa. Since then he has learned to stand up for himself, discipline, dedication, and patience. He’s as confident as ever and has made new friends. We felt like part of the family the moment we walked through the door. We can’t recommend Adonai or the coaches enough!

This is the third gym my 10 yo has trained at in as many years, & it’s far & away the best. The instructors are absolutely incredible with the kids, very firm but warm & caring. I’m so impressed with their teaching skills. You really get your money’s worth bc it’s 4x per week. It’s such a great family atmosphere. I love that they have an adult class simultaneously, so parents can train too. Also lots of women train here, which I think really speaks to the welcoming atmosphere. So glad we found this gym.

Having been interested in trying BJJ for years, I was thrilled when Adonai opened in Kernersville. What I didn’t expect was the overwhelming sense of belonging I experience. Everyone is there to get better. We’re all rowing in the same direction. Whether you are looking to learn BJJ for self-defense, to challenge yourself physically and mentally, or to learn the art of BJJ, Adonai Martial Arts School is the place for you. If you’ve ever been part of a gym community where friendships come naturally, the culture feels welcoming, and leadership is purposeful—only to later realize how special it was—then I encourage you to join Adonai. This gym’s culture is an incredible blend of high caliber BJJ instruction, genuine encouragement and a family first atmosphere. The love for God, BJJ and the members shines through in every aspect of this school. The kid’s classes are always fun, instructive and strike a good balance between disciplined and engaging. I’ve watched several kids grow dramatically in their abilities and friendships. The coaches are dedicated, patient and fair, without taking themselves too seriously. The adult classes are never stale. The leadership does a great job incorporating the right amount of variety in technique, drilling and practice rolls to keep you coming back for another class. I’m extremely thankful for this gym. Came for the BJJ, stayed for the community.
