Scott Gomez
"My kids started jiu jitsu a year ago at Figueroa BJJ and their confidence has boosted so much . they really enjoy coming to class and even started competing and have even placed 1st, their instructors are patient and very knowledgeable and will go to all their tournaments to coach . Seeing my boys grow here at the gym has inspired me to train as-well and it’s something we do as a family now, highly recommend this gym for anyone looking to start there journey in jiu jitsu."
Andrea Dall'Acqua
"Highly recommend this martial arts dojo in Vista. This place by far has been the best experience for my son who is now almost 9 and has been training here for almost 4 years. The kids jiu-jitsu class is very engaging and has great structure. The instructors create a very friendly environment for kids to form lasting friendships and bonding. Martin and all other jiu-jitsu instructors show they care and their interest in teaching shows it isn’t just a job for them."
