What Our Students Say

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

Julie Turgeon

"My daughter and I have been training Brazilian Jiu-jitsu for about 3 1/2 years now. I stepped into an all levels adult class and suggested she try the Teens class. At first her response was “I’m not doing that!” Then after she watched me she wanted to try it out. Now three and a half years later she is hooked and attends a combination of teen and adult bjj class and boxing classes an average of four days a week. She has so much respect for Gabe and really looks up to him as a male role model in her life. I work a combination of different shifts but my daughter makes it to her classes with or without me and now motivates me to keep going. She has now been asking to join the Gladiator group to their trip to Brazil. She has made many friends in the teens classes over the last couple years, gained confidence in herself, her technique is amazing and now that she is growing she joins the adult classes where she has the opportunity to train with more advanced partners and gets phenomenal feedback. Jiu-jitsu has created a bond for us that we can both participate in the sport together and connect in that way but also, she is comfortable walking into this gym on her own and joining any class when I’m not there. We feel safe, supported and welcome."

Niko Roman

"Been training here for two years and has genuinely changed my life. Physically and mentally, and spiritually. Came from a very rough background but between the amazing people here, and the discipline of the martial art, It has set me in the best path providing an unwavering amount of confidence to not only truly articulate myself with my ideas but to be able to defend myself as well as my loved ones which is why I started. I initially came for mixed martial arts but jiujistu was captivating, with Gabriel being a legit champion and an even greater teacher with an old school approach that forces you to face reality, I’ve honestly improved in not just my fighting ability but every other aspect in my life. Very much recommend for anyone who’s truly committed to self mastery, we also have a wonderful class for both children and Teens!"

Luis Ortiz

"Been going to this gym for close to a year and I have to give this place its praise. Before choosing a gym I wanted to make sure I was in good hands with an experience coach and I am not disappointed! Gabriel has competed and has vast experience and he facilitates a good environment where everyone can go as deep or shallow as they want. This gym has a good chunk of competitive athletes if that's what you want to get into and a lot of people who also are here for therapy and peace, or both! This place is a safe haven to relieve all the stress I have and the culture of people coming here is reassuring and peaceful. Highly recommend making this place your second home! Ossu!"

Vadim Kazimirov

"Been training here for 2 years . It improved my cardio significantly and the gym and people in it are extremely helpful and Gabriel has been a great coach and mentor. He helps each individual expand their knowledge in their own game and the gym is family oriented and everyone in it takes care of each other ."
