Tama Jiu-Jitsu

“Such a warm and welcoming environment the camaraderie is evident as soon as you walk through the door. Professor Tama has created a place that is fun to learn at and he delivers precise information that is easily digestible for all levels. Johnny also encourages students to train as often as possible to increase skills and techniques. I would highly recommend training here and I will definitely return.”

“When I look for a place to train, the coaching and the community makes a huge difference for me. Johnny is an outstanding coach with a wealth of wisdom he shares on the mat and consistently encourages your continued learning. Everyone is friendly and welcoming, which makes training really fun and conducive - I love that about this place. So grateful for Tama Jiujitsu!”

“We’ve had such an amazing experience at Tama Jiu-Jitsu with our 3 1/2 year old son Niko. Coach Fausto is incredibly patient, supportive, and really knows how to connect with the kids. Our son looks forward to every class and is learning discipline, confidence, and focus—all while having fun. The environment at Tama is welcoming and family-friendly, and you can tell the coaches truly care about the kids’ growth both on and off the mat. We’re so grateful we found this place!”

“Awesome jujitsu gym! Positive atmosphere. People are helpful and nice. Professor Johnny was so kind. He got me a chair, while I watched my boys. I didn’t even ask. Made me feel special. There is a fantastic cross breeze that keeps the gym cool! Right by fiesta Island! If you’re in the area check it out! Professor Johnny is extremely knowledgeable about jujitsu.”

“I've been a student of Professor Johnny for a few years now. He's nothing short of amazing! He is hands down one of the most incredible BJJ professors I’ve had the honor & privilege to train under. Gi or no Gi, he's the man! His depth of knowledge, technical precision, and ability to break down complex techniques into digestible steps are unmatched. He doesn’t just teach you moves—he teaches you how to think strategically, adapt in real time, and truly understand the art. His passion for the sport is contagious, and it’s clear that he genuinely cares about every one of his students, no matter their skill level. What sets Professor apart is his patience and encouragement. He takes the time to answer every question, revisit techniques, and push you to be the best version of yourself both on and off the mats. His ability to create a positive and welcoming environment fosters not just technical growth, but also a strong sense of community. Let 👏🏼me 👏🏼tell 👏🏼you... our community F&%#$ing rocks! You don’t just leave class feeling like a better grappler—you leave feeling inspired. If you're not teachable or humble you won't last here. Johnny’s accomplishments as a competitor speak for themselves (just check that Google/IG), but what makes him truly exceptional is how he translates that elite experience into his teaching. Whether you’re preparing for competition or simply training for personal growth, Johnny will get you to your goals. If you’re looking for a professor who will push you, believe in you, and help you grow in every aspect of your journey (let that be life or BJJ), look no further than Brofessor Johnny Tama 🫶🏻. I can’t recommend him enough obvi—he’s a phenomenal instructor, mentor, and all-around human being. And lastly!! We are LE friendly here! Come out and fu%#$g train. Your partners need you to show TF up ready, your community depends on you, and your family needs you home more than anything. #OffMySoapBox”
