What Our Students Say

Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.

Joel Fox

"Our son attended Maven for five years. James and Kevin provide an amazing environment. The Jiu Jitsu is a good blend of practicing techniques and sparring. Maven provides a stress free, no drama and safe gym where kids can actually grow skills and confidence. Anyone who trains knows that Jiu Jitsu is all about details, and fundamentals. Maven is a great mixture of both. Thank y'all for the good memories. I would highly recommend Maven BJJ. The Fox’s"

Blanca Ostorga

"My son enjoyed his experience at Maven for the past almost 2 years. He felt as part of the family since day 1. Big thanks to Coach Emilio, Isaac, Matt, Kevin and Daniel for giving him the confidence and motivation to love the sport. As well as dedicating their precious time to him and the rest of the youth. Kudos to James for having such a great program for the kids and adults! We sure are going to miss coming into the academy."

DozerMan26

"Everything about Maven is what you strive to find in an academy. Professor James is a great instructor who truly enjoys teaching every individual who attends his school. He has a teaching background and it shows in his curriculum. He is also one of the nicest guys you will meet. He also has a great staff. Kevin and Nico are the other instructors I have experience with who also show great passion in teaching Mavens BJJ philosophy. This place is filled with great people who invite you with open arms and quickly accept you as part of the family. You won’t find a better place."

Luxion Pierce

"My son has been attending the kids Jiu jitsu classes here for about six months now. I have been thoroughly impressed with the staff and the other students/parents. The staff are amazing! The owner is a great guy and makes sure he welcomes you each practice. I appreciate the small gestures as you can tell the culture is built around respect. The other coaches are just phenomenal: excellent in working with the kids, they make practices engaging and fun, the moves are taught well and they evaluate the student's moves, and they know how to motivate and encourage them. It's an amazing place and I feel fortunate my kid will get to learn under their tutelage. Everyone is very encouraging and supportive - the parents included, which hasn't been my experience in other sports. They cheer on other kids and monitor their own kids' behavior. I just can't say enough about how awesome this place is. It is a bit spendy $165/mo when I signed up my son, but if you can afford it, I think you'll see that it's money well spent."
