Veronica Mojica
"I’ve been taking my kids to Check Mat Temecula for a few months now, and I have to say, it’s been a fantastic experience. The moment we walked in, I was impressed by how friendly and welcoming everyone was. They make sure every child feels comfortable and excited about their classes. The instructors are amazing with the kids. They manage to balance discipline with fun, which keeps the children engaged and motivated. What I appreciate the most is the strong sense of community. Everyone is very encouraging, making it a great environment for the children to learn and grow. It’s been wonderful to see my kids not only improve their skills but also gain confidence and build friendships. If you’re looking for a place where your kids can learn martial arts in a positive and supportive environment, Check Mat Temecula is definitely worth checking out!"

"I’ve known Professor Helio and Professor Lari since the start of Checkmat Temecula back in the beginning of 2019. I had to part ways temporarily to start my career in Law Enforcement, but always knew where my Jiu Jitsu home was. I’ve travelled around and trained at several Jiu Jitsu schools since I started my career, but I eventually made my way back home and at the beginning of this year I resumed my passion for Jiu Jitsu with Checkmat Temecula. My loyalty to Professor Helio and Checkmat Temecula speaks for itself. We are Family. We are Friends. We are Checkmat Temecula."

"Great gym, amazing coaches and professors. Very respectful members and training partners. Highly recommended for someone new to the sport or even for higher belts looking to improve or prep for competitions. Very flexible schedules for all levels of classes and availability for privates for those looking to prep for competitions."

"Checkmat Temecula is hands down one of my favorite places! Not just for my kids or myself but because this whole team has become family! We love Professor Helio, Coach Larissa, Marcus and Frenchy. They are fantastic teachers and just amazing human beings all together. Last June, I moved my older son home from Maui where he started Jiu-Jitsu but sadly quit quickly after starting... I put him, my little one and my nephew into Checkmat's kids classes and they loved it from the first day! They've adapted and bonded so well! Professor Helio has not only represented what a great coach is but has become an important role model as well in my boys' lives. They're learning self defense, self discipline and most importantly, respect. We could not be happier since joining! LOVE LOVE LOVE Checkmat Temecula"
