What Our Students Say
Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.
Misty Alvarez
"Women’s Empowerment is absolutely amazing. A welcoming environment. A safe, welcoming place where the coaches and the classmates are all kind and all there to learn and experience what a great self defense class can do!"
Elizabeth Kurtz
"I was really nervous about starting classes without any type of martial arts background. The entire staff was warm and thorough in explaining the registration process and helping you get set up for success. The structure of the class is approachable for beginners and experienced students alike."
Joseph Watanabe
"I come from a military background and have sought a school with structure and quality instruction. This gym not only provides that, but the instructors have a kindness about them that is overwhelmingly welcoming. I will NEVER recommend any other gym in the Central Valley besides the Gracie Jiu Jitsu gym because my experience here has been top notch! Don’t waste your time or money anywhere else, ESPECIALLY if you have little kids. Their kids program is incredible and I can’t wait to finally get my child involved once she’s old enough."
Dalia Yellin-Weil
"I love this place! The staff is well trained, knowledgeable, patient, friendly and helpful. The atmosphere is welcoming to students of all ages and genders. Highly recommended."
