Egley Train Academy is family-owned, and in Mountain Home that's not a slogan: Coach Michael Egley teaches on this mat himself, alongside Coach Ryan, Coach Randi, and Coach Mark. In a town where your reputation walks through the door with you, we like it that way.
Training for you
Adult American Jiu-Jitsu for ages 13 and up — and if that "13" gives you pause as a parent, here's how it actually works: teens have their own program inside our adult classes. They book the same calendar, and on the mat your Coach pairs teens with teens. A 14-year-old is never fed to the adults; they're coached in the same room, at their own level.
For the grown-ups: most people who walk in have never trained a day in their lives. Your first lesson is private — one Coach, your pace, and you'll never be thrown into anything you didn't choose.

Training for your kid
Lil Kids (3–5) and Kids (6–12) American Jiu-Jitsu — split by age, with afternoon times that fit around school and dinner. Your child's first visit is a Free Intro Lesson: 15 minutes one-on-one with a Coach — no sparring, just simple movements and small wins — then they join their age group's regular class. About 45 minutes on the mat. You stay right beside the mat and watch everything; if your child isn't ready to join the class after the one-on-one, watching with you counts as a win. On the edge of an age group? Your Coach will see where your child thrives.
Arrive 10 minutes before your intro time to check in and sign the waiver at the front desk. Athletic shirt and shorts or leggings, no zippers or jewelry, barefoot on the mat, and bring a water bottle. Questions? Call or text 208-943-8886 — a Coach answers.
When kids train (from our posted schedule):

"What really sets Egley apart is how well they work with kids. My daughter has gained so much more than just jiu jitsu skills. Her confidence has grown, her discipline has improved, and she can't wait to get to class each week."Get Their Free Intro Lesson
