Coach Urban Sanchez and his gym are truly one of a kind. His ability to teach and connect with people of all ages is unmatched. He’s built a gym that feels like a second home—welcoming, supportive, and full of positive energy. Whether you're just starting out or training for high-level competition, Coach Urban gives everyone the tools and confidence to grow. Thanks to his leadership, our team consistently places at the top in every tournament we enter. What sets Coach Urban apart is his genuine care for each student’s development—both on and off the mats. He fosters a culture of respect, humility, and hard work that extends beyond training. You’re not just learning Jiu Jitsu here—you’re becoming part of a community that lifts each other up and pushes one another to be better every day. If you're looking for world-class instruction and a true Jiu Jitsu family, this is the place.

This is the best gym with the best coach! My son has been with Coach Urb since he started almost 2 years ago and it’s been the best experience for him, on and off the mats. If you’re looking for someone to inspire and motivate, Coach Urban is the absolute best. My son has grown into a respectful young man who is always willing to help others because of his coach and this sport. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a team who truly has your back and best interest at heart.

Coach Urban is an amazing coach with patience and enthusiasm. My 2 kids love the challenge he gives and his classes are very accommodating throughout the day, especially for homeschooled kids. I would recommend Urban Jiu-Jitsu for all ages to come and try the gym.

My 15 yr old son has been under Coach Urban going on 2 years now and has evolved at a rapid rate not only on the mats as a competitor but also as a young man with discipline and drive. Coach Urban encouraged me to get on the mats back in Sept and I have since competed, as well as become healthier physically and mentally. I’ve built a stronger bond with my son and gained great teammates. Couldn’t ask for a better coach or gym!
