What Our Students Say

Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.

Jon Hermey

"We have spent the last 9 months with our son doing classes at Cephas BJJ and we enjoy every minute we get to be there. My son has grown in confidence, perseverance and respect thanks to all of the work that Sensei Jay pours into all of his students! I highly recommend anyone to bring your child here and witness there growth and development!"

Cecilia Morafernau

"We have been attending Cephas Jiu jitsu now for almost 2 years now, my daughter 8 and my son 6 have learned so much from Sensei; Sensei really enforces discipline and strength, which I am beyond grateful for… we have loved his program so much we drive across Vegas just to get to his gym. We also have been enrolled in private lessons and it has helped my kids get a competitive edge. It will be really hard to find another place like this when we have to move. Very military friendly, great community."

Trish Georges

"My daughter has been coming here for 2 years, she started when she was just 3 years old. She was so scared and way too sweet. She’d cry for the first couple of months - she did not want to come. Eventually this became home to her and she now loves it! Her confidence is through the roof and she now understands what she’s there to do and just does it! She is excelling! Sensei J is the best with kids and he really speaks their language. I wouldn’t want my little girl anywhere else."

Thomas E Fujii

"We decided to bring our daughter for BJJ with Sensei Jay. This is a family and team environment that we were looking for. There is a sense of support from everyone how attends or participates in the classes. Our son enjoyed watching his older sister and wanted to join too. We have 2 kids attending and look forward to their growth within the discipline. We both recommend Cephas BJJ Academy."
