"💕Special thanks to @galvansmartialarts for teaching the women self defense course🙏 ✨It was so much fun & we learned a lot of ways to protect ourselves! 💪"
Mike Merta
"This dojo is the best one I have ever had the privilege of training at. Master Manny will push you. He sees your potential and will try to increase it exponentially. The family environment that exists at this dojo is awesome. The fellow students feel like brothers and sisters to me and helped push me when I didn't think I could. If you want a sensei that is going to sugar coat everything this is not your sensei. If you want a sensei that wants perfection and will not hesitate to push you Master Manny is the Sensei for you! I definitely recommend him if you are looking for a dojo to train in!"

"I have been training at Galvans Gracie Humita BJJ school for several years. I can honestly say Professor Manny Galvan and Professor Martha Galvan are highly trained and very professional. Their school gives off a family vibe and they welcome all who want to train. So if you’re interested it is never too late to start. Come by and ask for a free trail class and see if it will change your journey in life."
Danny Animations
"Best place ever best learning helping students. And having fun sometimes but being serious."
