“I was extremely nervous when I first joined because I had never trained in a martial art before. I’m pretty out of shape and was looking to do something that both challenged me mentally and physically. Jiu Jitsu does just that. The instructors deliver the instruction very well and take the time to break down the moves and actually ensure that you are being taught correctly. It’s a great price and the quality of instruction is amazing. I’m currently on my second month. 10/10 would def recommend.”

“My son has started a few months ago and I’ve seen positive changes in him. He has more confidence in himself. He’s not afraid to defend him when being bullied. He shows discipline, responsibility, and courage. I Highly recommend this academy especially if your child is having trouble at school advocating for himself against those school bullies.”

“I've been apart of the community at Merced Academy for about a year now. I have learned so much about the BJJ and have seen my self grow both mentally and physically. The gym is led by two great instructors who have a lot of knowledge about the martial art form and provide thorough explanations and demonstration of each move we learn.”
