Brock Garlick
“I believe being a great coach starts with patience, and understanding that everyone learns at a different pace. A technical approach is the core of my instruction. When students ask questions, I listen, and explain techniques in a way they can understand.”

Our Students Like Us
We believe that the practice of Jiu Jitsu is seen as a means to individual development and personal growth. Strength, self-awareness, confidence, respect, discipline and responsibility are common core values taught within our adult and kid’s programs.
Everything about it, top to bottom. A school that has blossomed in the last year in many ways. Clean facilities, huge mat space, 2 ages of kids’ classes, large inventory of merchandise on site, sponsorships with local vendors, drop ins from UFC fighters, and most importantly a large group of older Moms and Dads that routinely find time to set the example for their children by grinding with savages after a long day at the office.
City of Palms is all around amazing. This gym not only provides valuable training, but everyone at the gym (including students) are so welcoming to new people that join. They constantly support one another. The culture of the school is strong and healthy.
The gym is always clean, professor Brock is kind and incredibly respectful towards his students and the parents. Front desk ladies always welcome people with a smile.
They support local cops (adopt a cop program) helping them prepare for any issues they may encounter in the streets while they’re protecting citizens.
They have amazing merchandise! Flow N Roll gear is great quality, and affordable.
My whole family trains here, including myself and I honestly wouldn’t want to ever train anywhere else in the area.
Gages first class tonight!! what a neat experience he loved it! Very cool place and good vibes 👏 I have been to a few other BJJ places in South West Florida, but I love the atmosphere and interaction with the community that City of Palms has. The classes are about teaching and learning, not a free for all fight. Watching the kids classes and seeing them grow, along with the adults is amazing. We Are Active
Competitions, team activities, annual camps, seminars and regular classes create a positive environment and an exciting calendar year of activities that you and your loved ones will enjoy being a part of.
Dedication in jiu jitsu goes beyond just showing up—it’s about creating an environment where everyone feels welcome and supported. 🥋
A visitor shared this after joining one of Professor Brock’s no gi sessions:
‘Superb NoGi session! I had the opportunity to drop in for one of Coach Brock’s classes while on a business trip, and I was met with such a warm, positive, and friendly environment. The rounds were truly fantastic. Arrived a stranger, left a friend… Would highly recommend dropping in!’
We’re proud to be a gym where visitors feel like part of the community, even if it’s just for one class. If you’re ever in the area, come roll with us—you’ll always leave with great training and new friends. 💪✨

Stronger Grip Game 🥋
Judo is a grip-heavy sport, with an emphasis on controlling your opponent’s gi to set up throws. This develops incredible grip strength and precision, which translate perfectly to Jiu-Jitsu for controlling collars, sleeves, and lapels.
A strong grip can disrupt your opponent’s game and help you dictate the pace of a match. 💪

Dedication in jiu jistu isn’t just about showing up—it’s about embracing the entire journey. 🥋
It means pushing through the tough days, when your body is tired or progress feels slow. It’s staying committed to learning and growing, even when challenges seem overwhelming. 💪
Every session, every roll, every lesson builds more than just technique—it builds resilience, discipline, and character. 🧠🔥
This is where true growth happens, one step closer to mastery every single day. Keep showing up, keep grinding, and trust the process. The journey is worth it. ✨

A huge thank you to one of our recent visitors for sharing their experience—it means so much to us! ✨
‘Dropped in while visiting family and was warmly welcomed into a gym full of cool people and competitive rolls. Coach Brock is a highly talented Jiu-Jitsu athlete and a phenomenal coach. Even as a visitor, he took the time to point out unique shortcomings in my game and helped me work on them every class. If I lived here, this would be my home gym.’
Creating an environment where anyone, whether a local or a visitor, feels welcomed and supported is what we strive for every day. 🥋
It’s not just about training—it’s about building connections and helping each other grow. If you’re ever in the area, come see what makes our gym feel like home! ⚡️
