TARA CALDERA
"5 out of 5 stars! Our entire family trains with Makhuwa BJJ and it has been such a blessing to find a gym home like this. The kids program is amazing and our daughters have made huge advancements and love competing with this team! Myself and my husband are able to train even with our busy work schedules because the class times are evenings and make it easy to finish up our work day then head over for class. We all recommend this gym and can't wait to see what the future holds with Makhuwa BJJ."

"My whole family trains here under Professor Blessed Matai. My youngest is in the little ninjas classes (ages 4-6), my other child is in the kids classes (ages 7-14), and myself and my husband take kickboxing and Brazilian JiuJitsu, gi and nogi classes here. We absolutely adore the people and training we get at this gym! If you're considering trying out some martial arts classes I 1000% recommend coming and trying out a class with us. You will not regret it!"
