“We have been coming to coach Chad for about a year with our 5 year old son. We absolutely love it! I cannot say enough great things. This is the only activity that my son actually looks forward to and never fights us to go to. Jujitsu instills strength and discipline while coach Chad and his team provide the necessary structure and patience for children. I recommend 1000%”

“I am new to jiujitsu and am having tons of fun learning various skills with my team/classmates. The culture is great. Regardless of your age or belt, people show up with humility. I was training with several purple belts and they were very supportive of my growth. The goal for Coach Chad is to build a community where everyone is pulling/pushing/challenging each other to grow together. More importantly, Coach Chad makes emphasis on easy:gentle sparing to make sure that no one gets injured. It’s a safe and fun environment that fosters brotherhood. I highly recommend those who are interested.”

His concise yet comprehensive lessons made learning Jiu Jitsu not only accessible but also incredibly enjoyable. Coach Chad's patience and thoughtfulness in explaining techniques ensured that everyone in the class understood and could apply them effectively. The environment at the dojo was welcoming and supportive, thanks to the kindness and helpfulness of everyone there. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced practitioner, Otimo Jiu Jitsu under Coach Chad's guidance is an exceptional place to train and grow in your martial arts journey. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for top-notch instruction and a positive learning atmosphere. Five stars without a doubt!”
