Sagaz Jiu Jitsu

“I cannot say enough wonderful things about Sagaz and professor Alē! This art is so beneficial for kids mental and physical skills. I hat he learns spills over into everything we do outside of the gym too. It’s boosts confidence, applies discipline and so many other tools that are essential for life. Highly recommend.”

“I signed up for Heather Morgan’s jiujitsu seminar this past Sunday. I had the pleasure of meeting Professora Alê Moss, owner of Sagaz. She was so welcoming and encouraging to every student. It can be intimidating walking into another gym not knowing anyone, but her heart shines so bright, you forget you were even nervous. She spent a little extra time with me, working on details of the move, which I can’t wait to implement! She welcomed everyone to comeback and join her open mat on Sundays! Thank you for your hospitality! See you again soon!”

“Sagaz is awesome! A great place to bring newcomers to the sport. Conscientious and enthusiastic coaches offer safe, technical instruction. There’s tons of mat space and it’s really clean. The women’s program is robust and obviously a priority, which is refreshing.”

“Visited Sagaz during a trip to San Diego just last week. The gym is really clean and has an inviting vibe... and Professor Ale, wow, she's just awesome! Her instruction is very detailed, which I love - technical, breaks down the mechanics, and explains what to anticipate. She's clearly passionate about sharing her knowledge and takes care in how that knowledge is passed on to her students. I'd recommend Sagaz to anyone and look forward to visiting again. Thank you Professor Ale!”
