Double Five San Marcos Jiujitsu

“Coach Eduardo is a great mentor and teacher. My son is 5 and attends both the Little Ninjas and Kid’s classes. Coach Eduardo engages the small children with a playful spirit and has a lot of patience with them. He doesn’t let them get too distracted and keeps them in line. I believe he has the right balance of playfulness and firmness that my child responds to. These classes have taught my son better self control and has provided him a safe and structured environment to expend his extra energy and get in better shape.”

“I have been training jiu jitsu for almost 8 years and Gracie North County is hands down everything you would want in a jiu jitsu gym. From the time you set foot in the door you feel like you are apart of this jiu jitsu family. Professor Eduardo’s attention to detail and ability to understand and teach an individual based upon their physical capabilities and understanding of jiu jitsu techniques. He is excellent in tailoring his instruction for each student to elevate their skills. The gym cleanliness stands out from the moment you arrive with the clean white mats always freshly cleaned. Eddie’s connection with the children's classes is amazing to watch as he disciples them into having the confidence to defend themselves and take on life's challenges. This is truly a family run business that cares about its members and you will walk away with much more than just learning jiu jitsu.”

The combination of technical expertise, camaraderie, and professionalism sets this academy apart.”

“Having been involved in BJJ for the last 4 years, Gracie North County is one of the cleanest and friendliest BJJ gyms I’ve been to. The coaches are very skilled in breaking down and explaining moves and will adapt them for your body type which is key. Their experience and vast knowledge of the sport allows them to teach more than just basic motions and standard attacks or defenses. They focus on the basics and fundamentals, but if you are taller, shorter, wider or older, adapting BJJ to you makes all the difference! They also have fostered a respectful and safe way to fully engage in the sport. This attitude also keeps injury’s down overall as well. So whether you are just looking to ride a fun way exercise a couple times a week, or looking to jump into Brazilian Jiujitsu and its heritage and culture, Professor Eduardo has you covered at Gracie North County for sure!”

“I bring my daughters to this school and thought that this place was better than the earlier two martial arts they had been in (karate, then another jiujitsu place). Recently I was at a longer event where all students were tested to consider advancing (belt, etc) and I was really impressed with Eddie’s patience with one of the younger children. The kid was scared, crying, etc. And Eddie was very good at dispelling that child’s fear. It totally took my attention away from the material I was reading… and I found myself enjoying the show: of watching Eddie ply child psychology in real time. Very enjoyable, and effective! This isn’t the only time I observed Eddie (“Professor” Eduardo) do this sort of thing. His desire to establish the highest quality operation, in terms of his students’ martial arts abilities, as well as manners & ethics is clear. He’s the Mr Miyagi of JiuJitsu! We’re very happy we have our daughters, & now my wife as well, in Eddie’s program & highly recommend it!”
