Sebastian Turner
"As a white belt just starting out in jujitsu the team at Double Five has been amazing. They’re welcoming while also challenging me to get my best. I’d highly recommend coming to check out the classes and team! There are early morning, mid day and evening sessions. My son has also been a member of the kids program and has thrived. He’s living jujitsu and the lessons he’s learned from Professor Darwin. You can’t ask for a better kids program."
Ryan Williams

"Darwin was the one who introduced me into Jiu Jitsu, without him i don't know what I would be in life, because of him, Im a man with character, disciplined and strong. From white belt to black belt. He raised me since I was 10 years old until now days, you never gonna find a professor like him, that actually cares about the students, not only inside the mats but out side. He is an amazing man, he is my inspiration everyday. I will be always thankful for everything he taught me. And Double Five Carlsbad is looking amazing and it's a perfect place for your family, everyone is super talented and respectful! 5 starts!!!"
