What Our Students Say
Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.
Ebi Majedi
"Family friendly environment with amazing instruction under Professor Gustavo. It is very welcoming to both beginners and advanced students alike, with techniques catering to both self defense and sport jiu jitsu. An amazing experience to train here!"
Truth Always
"Would I recommend it. NOPE!! There are never enough instructors to help assist the kids in learning the moves, the younger instructors though wonderful can't control the children. One of the instructors has twin daughters in the classes when they are not there they never follow directions and they are so mean to the new students saying hateful discouraging things. The instructors will say things like maybe this is too hard for him um I'm sorry isn't your job as an instructor to teach. The owner is so nice and most of the instructors are so kind but it's disorganized chaos so id recommend driving the extra 30 minutes into Albuquerque if you really want your beginner child to learn and be encouraged. My son is now in Gracie Barra it's excellent"
Ryan Santella
"This place is amazing. Very close community that encourages and sincerely wants you to become better. The Professor and coaches are excellent! I wanted to give a 7 month update. We still feel the same as before but we definitely feel a part of this family. People sincerely care about you on a personal level(if you connect at that level) and as training partners. We highly recommend our academy!"
Jason Bowles
