What Our Students Say
Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.
Jacob May
"Joining Casillas BJJ has been one of the best decisions of my life. I attended one class and knew immediately that I was going to return. The community and family that this academy has is unparalleled. This sport started as a way to stay healthy and active, but became a passion. Teaching me not only how to deal with an aggressor, but to problem solve situations specific to me, stay committed even when it looks as though no progress is being made, and to not give up even when I am losing. The most valuable thing I have gained is self confidence. Knowing that I can take care of myself when necessary and that I know no matter what life throws my way, I will continue to show up. I can’t think of a better place to learn Jiujitsu, than at Casillas BJJ under Jason, Daniel, and Hayden. The hardest part is taking the first step."
Rob Weeden
"Update...some say they're too old to start training or that they're not in shape to do Jui Jitsu...well I am 40 and was completely out of shape before I began. Since I started training I've lost 25 pounds and am in the best shape of my life! I've seen similar transitions in my teammates within this school! These people care about each other and want you to succeed! Come try them out, who knows you may become addicted! 😀 I've been to quite a bit of different schools around the country and I have to say that when I was searching for a new place to train, after moving across the country, I was very specific to ensure the place I picked was one of good comraderie as well as an excellent training atmosphere. First time I walked through the doors, the team was super welcoming me and was very patient in helping me get back into shape and form! The instructors are awesome and have a lot of knowledge to share. The rest of the team have become some really good friends that legitimately want to help you succeed in whatever Jui Jitsu journey you wish to pursue! If you want to find a place that you feel like you are family from day 1, this is the place!"

"My boys have been attending here for a few months now and they have learned so much! Jason and all the other instructors are wonderful and do an amazing job keeping the kids attention."
Cameron B
"Excellent crew of dudes. I dropped in for open mat while visiting family and the whole crew made me feel welcomed. Great Gi and No-Gi schedule so I'll definitely be dropping in whenever I'm in town."
