Shogun Jiu Jitsu Academy

“Manny brings the "why" of Jiu Jitsu to the forefront, pairing deep conceptual understanding with the ability to teach technique masterfully. He excels at evaluating each practitioner's execution to refine and optimize their application of technique. In partnership with Marcelo Garcia and his curriculum, this approach creates a foundational approach for developing a complete BJJ player.”

“Manny is one of the best BJJ practitioners I’ve ever trained with. He has continued to elevate his game after all these years and he continues to impress me with his innovation. He’s a great coach and more importantly, he’s a great person. Awesome guy to be around, super positive, and always wants the best for the people around him.”

“I’m a beginner to Jiu Jitsu and was intimidated to get started, the staff and the trainers here have made me feel incredibly welcome and have got me going in the right direction. The professionalism and knowledge feels unmatched. I have had some really rough experiences else where. Really excited to be a part of this gym and family.”

“Ive trained with Manny for a number of years. Not only is he a high level instructor with a very detailed oriented game, but he's also very welcoming and personable to Everton visitor he's met. I highly recommend Manny and Shogun Jiu Jitsu”

“I have been friends and training partners with Manny, the owner of Shogun, for years and I can honestly say he’s one of the best coaches out there. His technique is top-tier, and he has a gift for breaking things down in a way that makes sense no matter your skill level. Whether you’re brand new to jiu jitsu or have been training for years, Manny creates an environment that’s welcoming, challenging, and supportive. Highly recommend dropping in and experiencing it for yourself.”
