What Our Students Say
Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.
El Apostol
"I had the honor of being at the Grand Opening and sharing classes with Coach Abi. It is a very healthy environment and highly recommended to be a part of. Coach Abi is a Great Instructor, with an incredible wealth of knowledge but most importantly a great Human Being and a role model for learning. From the entrance with the Welcome in the The reception by Josie until the first step on the Mat is a healthy and excellent energy to add to our lives. I recommend 100% to everyone in the City of Sierra Vista and all cities close to becoming part of the APOSTLE JIU-JITSU's Family."

"Apostle Jiu-Jitsu Academy is an exceptional school led by an outstanding husband-and-wife team. Having trained at every other Jiu-Jitsu facility in Sierra Vista, I can confidently say that Apostle is the best fit for me. The welcoming atmosphere and top-notch instruction make it stand out. I recommend stopping by to try a class or observe one and see for your self."
Gwen Davis
"This academy is such a welcoming, loving and caring community. I can wholeheartedly recommend joining and or looking into the academy. Apostle Jiu-Jitsu Academy showed me the things i am capable of, i feel much more confident and comfortable in myself then i did a year and a half ago. Coach Abi is so loving and caring to all of his students (even if he doesn’t want us to know) He welcomes each and every new, regular or returning student with a smile and a mindset of dedication for each individual student who is willing to step on the mat. I challenge who ever is reading this, to check out Apostle Jiu-Jitsu, i can promise you will see a difference in yourself within 3 months. whether it be physically, mentally or emotionally. I love you Coach Abi and Josie and I’ll miss you guys so much, i promise to visit has much as i can!! God bless -17yr old; Adult class"
Tyler Martin
"One of the best BJJ gyms I've ever been in! The coaching is world-class, and the folks that train there are phenomal people. The environment is super friendly and welcoming. This place is perfect whether you're looking to become a competitive grappler or just working for a great workout. Having traveled around and been to many gyms across the country, very few stick out quite like this one."
