"In my travels I've had opportunities to take lessons from quite a few instructors over the course of the last 8 years, and Matt Strack is among the very best. He's the rare combination of someone who can be lethal on the mat, but has a calm and systematic eye while instructing to make sure that his students understand the nuances of the move he's teaching. His attention to detail and professional approach is refreshing for those of us who are used to instructors who move well, but have a hard time putting into words what each and every part of their body is doing to flawlessly apply a certain technique. Mr. Strack is an exceptionally eloquent and technical teacher."

-Jim Barlow, Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Blue Belt, SLC UT

"As a teacher and martial arts instructor for 20 years, I have had the privilege of working with some of the finest communicators and teachers in the world. I was absolutely blown away from the very first time I trained under Mr. Strack. His attention to detail and ability to communicate are umatched. His teaching approach with both children and adults is surgical and precise. He is a model and mentor to his students, regardless of their age or background. Simply put, anyone looking to reach their absolute potential, as a person and as a Jiu Jitsu student, needs to train with this instructor."

-Jared Emfield, Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Brown Belt, Idaho Falls, ID

" . . .second to none! His attention to detail and willingness to go the extra mile is appreciated by all that train under him. I have never known anyone with as much drive and compassion for excellence in my 17 years in the U.S. Army." (read complete Military recommendation)
