What Our Students Say
Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.
Andrew Mangino
"Peter was the perfect introduction to jiu-jitsu - an incredible balance of big picture, detail, theory, and drills - while making you feel within ten minutes that you were having quick wins to advance around the fundamentals. And he was nice, fun, and clearly loves the martial art. I couldn't recommend more highly!"
Michael Rickicki
"Peter is a true professional who is welcoming, warm and full of energy. He immediately sets you at ease and quickly determines your skill and comfort level before diving into training. I learned more from him in sixty minutes than I did in three months with other teachers. I can’t recommend him enough and look forward to training with him in the future."
Greg Casimir
"Peter is a fun and great instructor who cares about seeing his students learn proper techniques rather than rolling and show off how good he is. One of the most in-depth instructors from a great lineage. Don’t miss out"
archcurlspiral
"Peter is an awesome, knowledgeable, patient, yet challenging teacher of BJJ. His love of the form and function of the art comes out in his demonstration of the techniques and he is able to communicate his skill clearly. I highly recommended Peter for those who wish to train privately!"
