Cassia Paixao
"I really love to be here. Amazing space, awesome professors. A very family-friendly and safe space, for children, women and adults in general. I totally recommend this Jiu Jitsu school."
Katrina Barajas
"I was nervous about trying jiu-jitsu because I was completely new, but Cassia made me feel welcome from the very beginning. She is a professional, kind and passionate instructor who explains everything clearly and consistently checks in to ensure that we understand what we are doing and why. The gym is clean, easily accessible, and has plenty of parking available. The community is friendly and supportive, and even the more experienced members are happy to help. Every class begins and ends with gratitude, which I really appreciate. It’s definitely challenging, but in the best way. If you're looking for a positive and welcoming place to start or continue jiu-jitsu, this is it."
