What Our Students Say
Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.
Jessica Delgado
"My son joined Makhuwa 9 months ago due to bullying & no self confidence. I can honestly say his whole demeanor has changed & he is more confident than he has ever been before. The work & dedication of Professor Blessed & all the wonderful coaches is what paved my son into the person he is today. I never thought he would fall in love with Jiu-Jitsu but he did & I highly recommend to everybody to try, you will love it too. Everyone is welcoming & the vibes are so positive within the whole business, you won’t regret it."
