SUSANA Reyes
"Love this place!!! Coach Marcello is amazing with students of all ages. My daughter came to this gym not knowing what Jiu Jitsu was. Once she tried a class, she became a fan and joined right away. We have seen an incredible transformation in her character, discipline, and skills!! My daughter does not want to miss a day. We also incorporate some private lessons whenever we can. Coach Marcello is truly an asset and very knowledgeable. We are so happy to be part of the Giudici Family!!!"
