What Our Students Say
Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.
Ricardo Barsesa
"Coach Jose is the best!! I always tell people how great he is at getting kids engaged and making class fun and interactive for the kiddos to pay attention. My son is 9 years old and when we were talking about him joining class for self-defense purposes, he went from “no, I don’t want to do that. I’m not going to like it” to actually looking forward to his classes and “don’t be late, we can’t be late for my class”. Some people have the calling to teach kids and Jose is one of them. Will deff recommend!"
Carlos Mejia
"I can't say enough good things about Coach Jose! From the moment both my kids joined his program, I knew we had found something special. Coach Jose has an incredible ability to connect with kids and communicate complex concepts in a way that makes them not only understandable but also exciting! He has a unique teaching style that breaks down every angle and move, ensuring that the kids grasp the purpose behind each action. It’s truly amazing to see how they retain this information and apply it in real-time. Watching my child develop skills and confidence right before my eyes has been a joy! Coach Jose is more than just a coach, he is a mentor who inspires and motivates. His passion for teaching jiu jitsu shines through in every session, and it’s clear he has a gift for working with children. If you’re looking for someone who can make a lasting impact on your child’s growth and development, Coach Jose is pure gold! Highly recommend! 🌟"
Alejandro Lopez
"I’ve had my nephew training at Legacy Submission Grappling for about 14 months(since he was 3.5 years old) and Coach Jose Gonzales is hands down the best kids jiu-jitsu instructor I’ve ever met. As someone who teaches jiu-jitsu to adults, I’m genuinely impressed by how naturally he connects with kids. He teaches with patience and heart, and helps them build real confidence in themselves. Can’t recommend this gym enough!"
Emma Wheeler
"Jose is the most talented kids coach I have ever had the pleasure of working with. He has the ability to handle large class sizes while still making every child feel important, welcomed and helped throughout class. He has a big heart when it comes to teaching students, and he values each child the same. Competitor, beginner, slow to start or naturally gifted Jose Coaches them equally. His approach to teaching students is above and beyond, working well to support young minded attention spans and comprehension using key words and sayings to help kiddos remember jiujitsu moves and steps up to submissions! If you’re looking for a place to make your child feel confident, grow soft skills, and to grow as an athlete in any capacity. Your child should be at Legacy. Thank you Jose for all you do for your students and fellow coaches! Here’s to you!"
