Maria Inoa
"We’ve had a great experience here. It’s always super clean. There is a family-like atmosphere with the staff, coaches, and other parents being friendly and welcoming. Coach Jeremy and Coach Jamie are wonderful coaches and do a fantastic job teaching the kids. My kids have already learned a lot. Liz at the front desk is always so kind and helpful. Highly highly recommend!"
Kevin Murray
"Best bjj in the central valley in my humble opinion. All instructors have their own unique way of teaching technique and extracting the very best from you. Super experienced, super informative, strict when nessessary, like when it comes to your safety or your opponent. Both my nephew and my daughter train here 5 days a week, different age groups,my nephew being older and brought experience from another gym is getting top notch, championship type training. My daughter is growing up here, and I couldn't be happier and have watched my daughter's confidence soar since joining Ares. If you have young kids this place is perfect as the instructors Jeremy and Jaime have an obvious passion for working with kids and have positive impacts socially, physically, and even on the mental health side. In this world of divises, and lack of activities. This place is great for a lot of reasons!"
Jamie Fender
"Love this place! Quality Jiujitsu and a very friendly vibe. The academy is well maintained, clean and a safe place to train for all levels of students from professional athletes, kids or a mom or dad who just wants to do something for fun and to be more active. Whatever your goals are, weight loss, learn self defense, have more of a social life, gain confidence… Jiujitsu at Ares BJJ Academy will help you reach them."
Frank Razo
