What Our Students Say

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

David Rodriguez

"Our oldest 2 girls, 8 and 6 love Dino and it's the highlight of their week! Our 2 year old can't wait to turn 3 and join :) I wasn't sure how much our girls would like Jiu-jitsu but it was worth a try. The family deal plus no cancelation fee made trying it out possible. The instructor and her daughter do a great job keeping everyone engaged. I can already see an improvement in their attentiveness after just a few weeks. We've been telling friends and will continue to spread the word!"

Miranda Ohlenforst

"This is more than a Jiu Jitsu gym, it is a community! I love this gym for so many reasons! First off, everyone is friendly, respectful, and supportive. My training partners have all been very considerate and mindful when rolling to avoid potential injuries and to help each other become better. Professor Joel is extremely knowledgeable in the sport and he encourages everyone to do their best and give it their all! The gym is always clean, and I look forward to training each week! Lastly, Dino Jiu Jitsu is a place for anyone! It does not matter what your age, gender, or athletic ability is. You will be able to learn Jiu Jitsu, and you will have fun with some pretty awesome people!"

Tammi Castillo

"I love watching my daughter grow, train, and create healthy relationships with others. Dino Jiu Jitsu provides that platform and supports it. She is learning a healthy approach to life and I’m really happy we are here."

"We went to the free homeschool class and instantly knew we needed to attend the homeschool Jijitsu class with Coach Marie. I'm an early retied teacher of 21 years here, and I choose my programs with great care. Coach Marie does an amazing job working with the kids. Her approach is, firm, fun, and forgiving. This is exactly what my kids need FIRM- she has fair and fun rules and holds her students accountable...but understands each child is different and has different needs. FUN-Her lessons and attitude are fun and engaging and you can tell she enjoys her job FORGIVING-She has rules and holds her students accountable, but she does so in a way that allows them to recover from their mistakes and learn. Everything I have seen at this gym has made me proud to sign my boys up for classes. We currently attend 2/3 three homeschool Jijitsu classes a week and the free homeschool class on Friday. I highly recommend this gym."
