Gallegos jiu jitsu HQ

"I recently attended a free self-defense training at Gallegos Jujitsu, and it was a great experience. I was nervous at first, but the environment was very welcoming and supportive. Professor Gallegos was caring, knowledgeable, and funny, which helped make the class feel relaxed and engaging. All the professors were helpful and patient, making sure everyone felt comfortable and understood the techniques. The training was informative and not difficult to follow — perfect for beginners. I left feeling more confident and empowered. I highly recommend Gallegos Jujitsu to anyone interested in learning self-defense in a positive and encouraging space."

"It was my first time attending a self-defense seminar, and I didn’t exactly know what to expect — and left feeling empowered, educated, and more confident in my ability to protect myself. The instructors were not only highly skilled but also incredibly supportive and respectful. They created a safe space for women of all backgrounds and experience levels to learn, ask questions, and practice at their own pace. I highly recommend!!"

"Where do I even start… what an amazing place this is!!! I met Elias at a different business and he we got to chatting. I work in a bar and he immediately told me about his gym and the self defense workshops he offers. He was so energetic and passionate about the subject. Giving us girls that are definitely targets skills to help defend ourselves. The class was absolutely amazing. All of the coaches were so kind and encouraging to me and my friends. It was very intimating at first but is such a safe space. The other women in the class that are gym members were absolutely amazing as well. Elias taught us practical skills. Not to take someone down but to get away, which is honestly the real goal. Just that shift mentally was so powerful to see it that way. The way Elias speaks and gives his message is so motivating and authentic and just really special. The community has such positive energy I am now about to start taking classes there to gain some proficiency in the skills taught during the workshop. I am nervous and excited and I know I will be supported every step of the way. Thank you so much Elias for sharing your energy with everyone you encounter. I am truly grateful."

"My son and I both train here and the expertise on all levels is phenomenal. Kids can choose from Gi, No Gi and MMA to become well rounded martial artists. Adults classes are offered in mornings and evenings to accommodate busy schedules. Not only have we grown in our sport here, but we've gained lifelong friendships and become part of this jiu-jitsu family. Everyone here is welcoming, encouraging and so supportive. I highly recommend the very empowering women's self defense class taught by Professor Elias!"
