What Our Students Say
Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.
Amber Jimenez
"Our daughter has taken Jiu Jitsu at Ethos for the past 7 years and she absolutely loves it! She is stronger and her confidence has grown tremendously. I also took the women’s kickboxing class for several years and tried my hand at jiu jitsu. For someone jumping in later in life, the instructors were always kind and made everything “doable”. We can’t say enough about this gym and the instructors! They are wonderful people and care not only about each person individually but are incredibly knowledgeable in their craft! It is truly a family and we are grateful to be a part of it."
Jesus Alberto Barrientos
"10/10 gym. The coaches are awesome—super helpful, experienced, and they really care about helping you get better. The vibe is friendly and welcoming, so it’s easy to feel comfortable, no matter your skill level. You learn a lot about all parts of combat sports—striking, grappling, fitness, and even how to think smarter in training or fights. It’s not just a great workout, you actually understand what you’re doing. Whether you’re training to fight or just want to get in shape, this gym is the place to be."
Michael Escarilla
"I had an awesome experience visiting this Jiu Jitsu school! From the moment I walked in, everyone was incredibly welcoming and made me feel right at home. The atmosphere was super positive and respectful, and it was clear that the school has built a strong, tight-knit community. A lot of characters in this one. Try to meet them all! Definitely a re-visit if I'm passing through. The crowd is a bit on the younger side. Instructor made a hilarious "I dreamed a Genie" joke and it flew over everyone's heads which kind of made it funnier. Still a lot of tough rolls."
Justin Rasco
"I’ve been training at ETHOS MMA for a little over 2 and a half years. The instructors are down to earth and full of knowledge. They make learning an enjoyable experience and always give the class something to laugh about. The environment is very healthy and full of diversity & discipline. There’s a lot to learn and many classes to join. Ethos MMA teaches Brazilian jiu jitsu, Kickboxing, Wrestling, Judo, & of course, Mixed martial arts. You can’t go wrong. There’s something for everyone & most styles of fighting are taught within the schedule of open hours. You’ll learn self defense as well as a way to keep yourself healthy and fit. The gym is family friendly which makes it very welcoming. There are classes designed strictly for the women and classes strictly for the youth. That’s pretty cool in my opinion and from my observations the kiddos have an absolute blast while developing some fantastic skills as well as creating friendships that’ll last a lifetime, similar with the adults. Chad, John, Cody, Caleb & many other coaches really put their all into their students and continuously keep moral high. The gym is very clean and well maintained. If you’re looking for a place to train or learn self defense I’d definitely give ETHOS MMA a look. Give John a call at the front desk. He enjoys speaking on the phone all day long with eager minded individuals ready to learn and train."
