Cochabamba Jiu Jitsu + MMA

“If you want your child to learn real self defense I highly recommend Cochabamba BJJ + MMA. It’s not your typical kicks karate. Your child will face adversity and challenge but I promise you, your child will know how to defend themselves in a real life situation. My son has grown so much there. He’s met challenge and has overcome them. Yet I know his journey is just beginning, and that is the best part.”

“In the last six months my kids have been going to a place called Cochabamba (Jiu Jitsu, MMA) Their coach Brian and his helpers Sid and Danielle they do a amazing job at teaching my kids and other kids as well. Brian is super passionate and patient with the kids and you can tell he wants the best for everyone. My kids have definitely learned and developed ever since they started to go there, they have gained a lot of confidence I highly recommend Brian for a coach and trainer!”

“We wanted our daughter to develop self-confidence and learn how to defend herself so we decided to enroll her in a martial art. We initially enrolled our 5 year old in a gym near our house but decided to switch her to Cochabamba in February because we heard about Coach Brian from families also doing Jiu Jitsu. Our switch was well worth our extra driving time. Our daughter looks forward to her BJJ classes every week so much so we’ve used at as a reward for listening. The classes challenge her both physically and mentally. She’s slowly developing the mental stamina to handle losses in addition to wins. Now our son is old enough we’re enrolling him in the class too. Coach Brian and all the instructors are very passionate about the sport and about teaching the kids the skills required for grappling. Every class I attend I see them patiently teach kids of different ability levels the foundation of grappling. It’s quite fun to watch each child get challenged and overcome those challenges. In my opinion, the method Coach Brian uses to teach the kids is extremely effective. I see my daughter’s grasp of the movements and her self confidence spike after each teaching game win. He breaks down complex movements into bite sized games for the kids to master. In addition to teaching kids, Cochabamba also has kickboxing and Jiu Jitsu classes for ladies. Initially, I hesitated to sign up because I have always been intimidated by extremely fit athletes. After finally giving the ladies kickboxing and Jiu Jitsu class a try, I signed up immediately. It was comforting to know that all the ladies had different body types and were all training to improve their skills. I enjoyed the physical activity and the challenges offered by kickboxing and Jiu Jitsu. Ladies looking for both a mental and physical work out should definitely join Cochabamba. It’s an investment in yourself. I highly recommend Cochabamba to all parents as a fun and challenging experience for their kids. Coach Brian is great! Any parent looking to instill in their child (young or old) the self-confidence, grit, and ability to defend themselves. I encourage ladies of all ages to come and challenge themselves to try something new. You never know what a fun sport it is without trying. Best of all, I love the family atmosphere Cochabamba.”

“My 7 year old has been at Cochabamba for 6 months and I can’t recommend it enough. We started with the intention of getting him out of his shell and becoming more confident. Both of those things have happened and he is also becoming stronger, both mentally and physically. He’s also more prepared to defend himself or others if needed. The classes are very immersive and the students start learning techniques and submissions on day 1. It’s has been so rewarding to see our son get out of his comfort zone and try something totally new. As for coach Brian- he is amazing. His coaching style is very direct and hands-on. He pushes his students, but is also incredibly compassionate. The kids listen to him and respect him in a way that I haven’t seen with other coaches. He is a great role model for his students and my son looks up to him. I’m so happy that we found him and I can’t recommend his classes enough”

“Cochabamba Ju Jitsu MMA has my strongest recommendation as a great recreational exercise and personal development tool for both kids and young adults. Coach Brian and his team have been phenomenal at transforming my hyper, inattentive 4 yr old into a more disciplined, focused boy to follow instructions and group activities. Their patience and teaching tactics emulate effective,  parental methods for directing a young child’s energy towards their intended outcomes.  I cannot express enough my gratitude for their dedicated, 1-on-1 work with him to transform him into a better little person. I also utilize their services for my own MMA fighting classes. Coach Brian give me the same excellent support and intense training within a fun community environment while hanging with other moms and young women. We always have so much fun and a great workout. I cannot recommend them enough!”
