What Our Students Say
Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.
Vanessa Soqui
"The best family oriented Jiu Jitsu gym in San Diego with professional black belt instructors. Well structured training sessions for both kids & adults."
Scott Watson
"I was in town for work and was able to drop into two classes while there. This was probably the most welcoming academy I've visited while traveling. Everyone was great. Prof Leticia and Prof Fabricio were extremely kind, taking time away from their own students to help me practice. I'll definitely be back if I'm in the area again. Highly recommended!"
Walter Wilson
"I joined this BJJ Academy about three months ago and absolutely love it. Our professor, Letty, is is an unbelievable teacher and truly cares about her program. I love this community!"
