My wife and I enrolled our 8-year-old son into BJJ. When my wife took him to the trial period she was very impressed with coach Mike. She said he was the perfect mixture of sternness & gentleness. All the kids are very well-mannered and show respect, and clearly it has been taught to them in class. I know this because I sit and watch each class. There have been many times after school where I pick my son up for class and he says that he "does not want to go to BJJ today", but every single time that he's done with class, he says something to the sort of "that was really fun today" or "I had a great time". If you are on the fence about Spectrum Fitness, I highly recommend you take the leap and make this part of your journey called life. We are thrilled we made the decision for our boy. Ps my favorite part is that the kids have to earn their stripes and promotions. You don't just pay money and go X amount of times for a new belt! Less

Spectrum Martial Arts has been a fantastic place to train. When I think of fun things to do in Minot, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is my go-to activity every night of the week. The coaching is top-notch, and the instructors are well qualified and genuinely great people. Spectrum brings you into a community of hard-working and uplifting teammates and a learning environment that brings out the best in you and pushes you to succeed! I couldn't recommend this gym enough to anyone who is looking for a new skill or hobby in the Minot area! Less

I've been to many Jiu jitsu academies, big name ones too, and I would say that Spectrum can go toe to toe with some of the best. Very technical in their teachings and the coaches are amazing! Sensei Mike Sian is one helluva man, former army ranger but gentle and respectful man. If you have kids, I highly recommend them to come here and attend. And if you are a young woman or man, looking to find some discipline, come here. It will definitely be worth your time and will change your life.-Seek Usefulness, not respect - only alwaysOSS! Less
