Art of Entanglement

“I’ve trained at many different BJJ gyms as a traveler. From the very first day Coach Chris and Coach Gabriel have treated me and other newcomers like family. Coach Chris encourages everyone to discard their ego, forget bad culture that other gyms have, and train hard. You won’t be in your comfort zone here, but that’s what Jiu Jitsu is about. The class format includes stand up, wrestling, judo, and jiu jitsu to be well rounded. All the instructors are happy to break down specifics with you as well. Most gyms focus on technique and belts, AOE is about work ethic, community, and passion for the game. 🤙🏻”

“AOE is an amazing place to train! My boyfriend, brother-in-law, and brother all train there, and we couldn’t recommend it more. Whether you’re already practicing jiu jitsu or just thinking about starting, AOE is the perfect environment. The coach and his family are incredibly supportive, always pushing members to train their hardest while creating a welcoming, motivating atmosphere. It truly feels like a family here — something we haven’t experienced at other jiu jitsu gyms. It is very clear that members have a great time training together and we all love cheering each other on at competitions. If you’re looking for a place where you’ll be supported, challenged, and welcomed like family, AOE is the place for you!”

“I can't say enough great things about AOE Jiu Jitsu! From the moment you walk in, you’re welcomed like family. The staff is absolutely amazing — not only are they incredibly skilled and knowledgeable, but they are also genuinely dedicated to every student, whether they’re just starting out or preparing for competition. The atmosphere strikes the perfect balance between supportive and challenging. Kids and adults alike are encouraged to push themselves while always feeling safe, respected, and motivated. The coaches have endless patience, taking the time to ensure everyone grows at their own pace while still maintaining high standards for those looking to compete. What truly sets this gym apart is the community feel. It’s not just a place to train — it's a second home where families, friendships, and champions are built. Whether you're looking for top-level competition training or simply a positive, empowering environment for your child (or yourself), this is the place to be. Five stars all the way — highly recommend!”

“My daughter is 4 years old and she has not missed one day with coach Christopher and Gabriel(we are a month in) I’ve enjoyed watching my little girl build confidence and have watched her do things I didn’t even know she was capable of. She has learned sportsmanship and has build great bonds with her classmates and coaches. Coach Chris knows how to keep the kids engaged with fun games that also teach the fundamentals of jiu jitsu that we take and practice at home. I admire both Chris and Gabriel’s patience with the kiddo’s they really are amazing! Coach Christopher and his wonderful team make you feel like part of the family. He is really the best coach you want your little ones learning from. If you haven’t gone in for a trial yet you are missing out! Don’t miss the opportunity to become part of the AOE family! ** a plus for us is that he is also trilingual he speaks English, Spanish, and Portuguese **”

“AOE is welcoming and family oriented, you feel like you are at home, with good people, training and good vibes. Coach Chris is very thoughtful, skilled, dedicated to your personal success, he demonstrates his passion for Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu by helping everyone in his team to build the necessary skills and mindset for growth on and off the mats! He welcomes everyone to come try it and helps them individually to practice the techniques taking time to ensure students practice safely and build the understanding through drilling and repetition, and carefully selected methodologies that build you up for the main technique of the class. Each class begins with stretching and warm ups, & standup wrestling/judo/takedown drills to build a solid base of understanding of movements to take the fight to the ground and using the jiujitsu techniques to control and win on the ground, or standing. The biggest thing that differentiates and cannot be duplicated is his passion, skill and methods to drilling moves each class to perfect timing and technique that helps each student make improvements fast and effectively. AOE has helped me improve so much in just a few days and I’ve been training for close to 6 + years and I already see a lot of progress in my mindset and skills. Come try it out for yourself and experience the joy of the Art of Entanglement. Thank you Coach Chris. OSs!”
