What Our Students Say
Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.
Scott Sanford
"Great gym with great professors. Professor Mair is very thoughtful in his teaching methods and makes sure everyone is progressing each class. One of the best workouts you can get while challenging your mind at the same time. If you've never tried BJJ before, its a great place to start."
Rene Morales
"Great academy and great environment. The instructors are world class! Kids and adult classes. Beginners are brought up gradually. Wide range of skill levels and sizes for training partners. The mental and physical health benefits speak for themselves, but training in an environment like this makes it even better. I recommend anyone that is looking to start or continue their jiujitsu journey give GB Ventura a try."
