Dan Grassi

"**Exceptional Review for Arashi Brazilian Jiu Jitsu** Arashi Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is truly a gem in the Imperial Beach/South Bay area! Under the guidance of Sensei Drue, this dojo provides an incredible environment for children to learn not just martial arts, but vital life skills such as discipline and self-confidence. My son and daughter eagerly look forward to their classes every week, and it’s heartwarming to see them grow both physically and mentally. The schedule is perfect for our family, with Kids Judo classes on Wednesdays and Fridays and Kids Jiu Jitsu on Tuesdays. What sets this dojo apart is the welcoming atmosphere; there are no intimidating sessions, making it an ideal place for kids to feel comfortable and engaged. Additionally, the “Tiny Tots” class taught by Miss Candy is a wonderful introduction for younger children. It’s evident that she has a special way with the little ones, making them feel safe and excited to learn. If you’re searching for a Judo or Jiu Jitsu class for your kids, look no further! Arashi Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is the perfect choice for fostering their skills and building their confidence in a supportive environment. Highly recommend!"

Megan Abel

"Arashi Brazilian Jiu Jitsu has been a blessing for my marriage, my husband often takes the Judo class, with his best friend, under Sensei Drue on Wednesdays right after the children's class. His physical stamina and mental health are always in tip top condition if he's been training regularly. My husband has learned more than a martial art, he's earned the confidence to compete, and think quick and clearly under pressure. I love watching my husband grow as a person both physically and mentally; sign (you and) your partner up for the journey of a lifetime, you won't regret it."

Fernando Vargas

"Sensei Drue makes this dojo a perfect place to learn and teach your kids, not only discipline; but self confidence. My Son and Daughter love goin to class. Wednesday and Friday Kids Judo. Tuesday’s Kids Jiu Jitsu. There is no “intimidation “ sessions. They also offer a “tiny tots “ little kids, for lack of better word class thought by Miss Candy. If you are in the Imperial Beach/ South Bay Area looking for a Judo or Jiu Jitsu class for your kids … This is definitely the place."

Jeremy Seelig

"Drue and Candace are a great team as the Senseis. On multiple occasions I have had the pleasure of sparring and training with visiting senseis from other Dojos. The safety and proffesionalism that they lead by example with, is why I have my family in this Dojo and plan to stay. Their commitment to the students is shown through the effort they put into the Dojo everyday."
