What Our Students Say
Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.
Brittney Michael
"My child absolutely loves his classes. So far, we've only had good experiences here. The coaches are firm with the kids but it's jiu-jitsu, not ballet. And my son already knows when he steps on the mat, it's serious time."
Alvaro Aguilera
"I took my son and nephew to the intro class today and they loved it! I love that the classes are kept small. They really take their time to help the kids learn. I can't wait for my son to start in a week. I couldn't get him to do karate or anything else but he jumped right in and couldn't stop talking about it all day! He's 5 years old and his cousin is 6. They had such a great experience. I don't think they're over priced."

"Not very professional more like a hang out for the instructors and there girls friends and fast food. Kids are asking if they can have a bite of there food. We also had an incident where they stood my son in the corner facing the wall for 45 mins crying . The instructor was yelling to my son if you drop any tears your going to mop my mat. Needless to say I Pulled my kids out and found an amazing Jujitsu class and they love it."
Chris Fuller
"This place was great. Stopped by for some training while visiting family in Modesto and was very impressed at the welcoming environment I encountered. The instructors there gave a very solid, detail oriented class that focused on the details of this move. The attitude of the students was great as well, intense rolling but no jerks. Very clean and well kept school. Positive competitive environment that is well worth your time and money."
