What Our Students Say
Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.
Alex Cuevas
"Hands down one of the best martial arts MMA and BJJ and Judo place you can be in North america. I have trained for many years in many different places of the world and Jose's MMA and BJJ classes are absolutely phenomenal. Highest possible recommendation you should come check this place out if you're in the area especially if you want to get a lot of direct coaching from one of the best MMA guys out there with a black belt in Judo and jiu-jitsu. How crazy is it that we have that right here in the Niagara Falls area"

"I’ve been training with Jose Balbino a few months now, and it has truly had a positive impact on my life. I’ve gained previously undiscovered confidence in myself and made connections that will last a lifetime. While training, I’ve met people from all walks of life who have been brought together through the common interest of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, and the community that has developed through it is incredible. Jose has created a community of people that care about training and growing as martial artists--but also care about each other as people. Jose has a natural ability for teaching and a great mind for BJJ. His ability to help you understand concepts and help you develop new skills is on an elite level."
Alex Cuevas
