What Our Students Say
Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.
James Arabian
"I've been training under Professor Nic for a little over 2 years and I can honestly say it's been really great to learn under him. He is very knowledgeable in Brazilian jiu-jitsu and other martial arts. Professor Nic is very patient and kind. He wants everybody to succeed which makes sense because he's always striving to be the best version of you yourself. The people that I also train with I consider family and will go out of their way to help me learn something and we will continue to go over it until I get it. Cortes BJJ is a wonderful place to learn jiu-jitsu and other martial arts. Not only is Professor Nic a great professor but he's also a great mentor and I consider him a very good friend."
Amy G
