What Our Students Say
Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.
Ryan Murphy
"Romero, thank you for getting my son involved. He was really timid, until Bennie put on the GI, and got on the mat. We signed up immediately! If you’re a parent, bring the little one down. The Professors that teach here are down to earth, love the kids, and have a great attitude. I’ve done the research, you cannot go wrong at this training facility."
Miranda Hastings
"Our whole family loves this place. One of my sons started first, loved it so much (and got so good at rolling up his siblings) that now two of his other siblings take too. The coaches are great and really show up for your kids. They even come to the tournaments and coach them there. I especially appreciate how they teach them more than just BJJ. They place a strong emphasis on good values and respect. Ramiro, Davey, Tom and Alvin have been especially kind and helpful to my kids. Highly Recommend."
G Caro
"Amazing gym, great training and awesome people. We did a drop in and got a warm welcome. Everyone was very down to earth and all the training partners were super nice and helpful. Great instruction, very technical, and class was well organized. Totally coming back. oss🤙🏽"
Jared Apperson
"I’m new to the gym, and a relatively out of shape guy. The support from the trainers and members has been outstanding! Brad is an amazing coach and makes for a very welcoming atmosphere. Thank you!!!"
