What Our Students Say
Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.
Tessa Hane
"I went Saturday for their women's only 0900 class and had a blast! Had fun, learned about a triangle choke, and got a good workout. Highly recommend gals try it out on Saturday mornings!"
Gregg Zumwalt
"I was in town for the IMSA race and needed a place to train. There are a few places to train in the area but this Gym has the fit and feel of my local Checkmat. Friendly environment with challenging roles. As a 49 year old I pick my partners carefully. I never felt any issues here, very controlled partners and I can tell the owner Mark cares about his training techniques and teaches control. If you are looking to get into Jiu Jitsu or need a place to role this is the place to go."
Hadie Taesali
"My entire family has trained at Elite Team. Whether you’re looking to put your kids in jiu jitsu or giving it a try for yourself you couldn’t pick a better place! The instruction and atmosphere are great! I would definitely recommend this gym, no matter your skill set."
Chris Cain Law
"I've been training regularly at Elite Team Monterey for well over three years now. It's a great gym and if you're at all interested in trying jiujitsu, you should check it out. Mark is an awesome instructor, whether you're a total beginner or have ten years experience on the mats. The vibe is open and friendly, the gym is clean, and the team grows stronger every day."
