What Our Students Say
Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.
Armando Gutierrez
"My daughter absolutely loves her jiu-jitsu class at Ethos Jiu-Jitsu! She attends the kids' class at 5 pm, and it's been such a fantastic experience. The instructors, Jerardo and Brett, are truly exceptional. They are incredibly thorough and attentive with all the kids, and as a parent, I really appreciate how they prioritize safety. What I also value is that they aren't "soft" instructors – they genuinely want the kids to learn and progress, which is exactly what I was looking for. If you're looking for a great jiu-jitsu program for your child, I wholeheartedly recommend Ethos Jiu-Jitsu!"
Elijah Kim
"The classes are well-structured, and there’s a good mix of technical instruction and live training. Everyone—from the coaches to the students—creates a positive, respectful environment that makes it easy to keep coming back. Whether you’re new to jiujitsu or have experience, this is a great place to train."
Israel Ortiz Soto
"My son has been training at this location for 1 1/2 years. He’s growth in confidence and skill has been exceptional. I started 6mo ago and have found a new outlet for growth and competition. Coaches and students are respectful and create a nurturing curious environment. If you have a kid or are 40+ you’re never too old or too young to come out to the mats. The new gym is also a huge plus!"
Gabriel Melendez
