"Best gym I've ever visited, and I travel alot visiting other gyms. Anthony has managed to create a fantastic environment, and at the same time a room full of killers. I'd feel blessed to be able to train here full time. 10/10 would recommend."
Steve Byer
"I am a blue-belt hobbyist. I visit the Palm Springs area once a year on vacation. This year, staying in Palm Desert, CVBJJ was closer to home. I paid a set cost for 2 weeks of unlimited training and made it into about 7 classes. I was welcomed warmly, and I had some solid classes with quality people. Classes were 90min with warmups for the first 30, technique for 30, then rolling for the last part of class. Most of the classes are in the gi, and there were regularly multiple black belts in each class on top of an assortment of other ranks. I would 100% come back"

"What an amazing place for the whole family. Teaching discipline, respect, morals, etc. The whole Mantanona family and all coaches involved really give their all to all kids on and off the mats. Huge thank you."
