Peaceful Warrior Jiujitsu

“My son and I have been here for multiple open mats and a few drop in classes. Awesome time and welcoming atmosphere. Always have good rolls and learn something new.”

“Jen takes your goals & makes it possible for you to reach them. She listens to you, & pushes you! She is the kindest, caring, & most educated trainer I've ever worked with. I have so many amazing things to say about her! 10/10 recommend🤍”

“Professor C, Jim, taught me the basics, the meat and potatoes he says!! Very simple understanding of guard and where I want my body, hip control, space control and arm control, of myself and my opponent, pushing but finding space to be methodical always while tightening on the opponent. Three different front chokes, an arm bar, and a rear choke, with the whole process and psychology as well as knowing when and what to look for and when to know when you’re most lethal and when to move for the kill/break/tap and what that looks like, even to the minute details of how even turning the opponents wrist disengages them that much more and each little detail counts and adds up. This is my first time ever doing jiu jitsu and I feel like I’m gunna get my butt kicked a lot but learn a lot and kick some butt along the way too haha, hopefully to the point of being able to know this backwards and forwards and be able to play all kinds of chess with it with greater and greater skill, engagement and confidence! Looking forward to it! And looking forward to my fiance learning later tonight and our kiddo when she gets older!”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ As a lifelong martial artist, former professional MMA fighter, and current BJJ black belt and current National champion, I can say Peaceful Warrior is the real deal. This place has heart. The vibe is welcoming, the people are grounded, and the energy is authentic. You don’t walk into a meathead gym — you walk into a space where real martial arts, personal growth, and community all come together. The instructors care about the students, not just the technique. Whether you’re brand new or experienced, there’s zero ego here — just solid training and positive energy. If you’re in the Dana Point area and looking to start your martial arts journey (or return to it), I can’t recommend Peaceful Warrior enough. Respect to what they’re building here.”

“I love my Wednesday workouts with Jen!😍 I do group workouts with my coworkers on Wednesday and it's the highlight of my week. Thank you Jen for creating a safe environment and for pushing me past what i thought were my limits! 💪🏽”
