Christina Pina
"I’ve been apart of this team for 8 years. This gym has been a big part of my life and they are like a second family to me. As a woman finding a gym I’m comfortable in is very important for me and can be hard to come by. I knew from the very first day that I belonged her. The atmosphere is great and I encourage all people to train, especially woman who want to learn REAL self defense."

"JC Danna & Darin Cooley are the Best when it comes to learning the way of a Fighter. These two collaborate to create the optimal Professional MMA Fighters in the Manteca Area! The MMA classes provide the necessary skills to be a well-equipped fighter from the takedown, ground & standing positions. You’ll learn to submit the opponent from every angle and how to defend every attack. Caesar Gracie Fighting is what gives you the skill set, but these coaches are what separate you from the pack.
