What Our Students Say
Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.
SneakerFreaks Expo
"My son started jiu-jitsu at four years old and is now almost eight. Since starting, there hasn't been any bullying around him at school. In fact, he prevented a classmate from being bullied this year. The coaching staff strictly enforce rules against bullying and emphasize protection. Enrolling him in this class is one of the best decisions I've made. After three years, he's become one of the top students in jiu-jitsu. This has boosted his confidence and empowerment. I highly recommend checking out their classes for a safe and supportive environment."
Joe Clegg
"FOBJJ is a great learning environment. Everyone is very friendly and helpful. Also excellent way to get some cardio in while learning functional skills. Highly recommend anyone. Chico is a fantastic coach, who cares about his students."
Leslie Potterton
"Great gym, everyone was very friendly and welcoming when I started. Chico is a great coach, makes himself available for extra training before competitions, can’t say enough good things about his gym!"
