What Our Students Say

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

Steve Valdez

"I have been doing Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu here for almost 3 years. As an introvert it was hard for me to try new thing, but this has been an amazing experience. For anyone who is interested in trying Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, this is the place to do it. It is a true family environment where what you learn on the mats will transfer to your everyday life."

Frank Tancredi

"Great place to learn and train Jiujitsu. My son and I both train here and absolutely love it. Anthony Vetro is an amazing and patient sensei. Beside all of that what my son and I love is the family atmosphere we have here at Fat Cat. Very highly recommended"

Robert Poinsette

"Fat Cat Bjj has been a phenomenal place to train in the martial arts. Sensei Vetro and the instructors are very experienced and take the time teach you the intricacies of the arts. In addition, they’re practical, and let students know what it’s takes to improve. It’s a great family environment where adults, children, and people of all walks of life are welcome to train. They’re always willing to support you, and fight to help you stay motivated.The Fat Cat team truly stands out as of the top schools in the area. My family and I have been blessed and proud to train there."

Trevor Yip

"I am currently a white belt and joined Fat Cat about 3 months ago. I work full time and go to school online. I also workout but I wanted to do some sort of functional strength activity. A great buddy of mine at work who is a blue belt told me to join. The first day was awesome, and is Free. We learned take downs and I met my sensei Anthony Vetro. You will meet people here who will push you, build you up and then push you further. My confidence has increased. I’ve lost 37 lbs since I joined and I get stronger every time I roll. Join and you won’t regret it."
