What Our Students Say

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

David Letona

"Nimbus BJJ is an awesome spot tucked away in the Sunset. I’m brand new to Jiu Jitsu and wasn’t sure what to expect, but Coach Raul made the first few classes feel super approachable and engaging. It’s all no-gi, and each class is packed with useful techniques and lots of rolling. Even as a beginner, I feel like I’m learning fast because everything is broken down in a way that actually sticks. Coach Raul is great at explaining things without overcomplicating them, and he keeps the vibe fun but focused. The people here are chill, helpful, and really just here to train hard and improve. No egos, no weird energy, just solid people and good training. If you’re in the Sunset and thinking about trying Jiu Jitsu, this place is definitely worth checking out. I’m hooked! (Get it?)"

"I've had the great opportunity of learning from Coach Raul the past years and have only great things to say. I came in with no experience at all and he brought me up to speed with how I can leverage my body and move correctly in grappling. Raul is a great instructor because he is super patient with his students and explains the lessons very thoroughly. The environment is super positive and encouraging with lots of great teammates. You will feel highly supported in your training journey. 10/10 Highly recommend this to all my buddies and anyone interested in trying out bjj!"

Eddie A

"Raul’s classes are hands down some of the best I’ve taken. The warm-ups are fun and creative, not the same repetitive drills you usually see. He’s great at breaking down each move step by step, making everything easy to understand, especially if you’re new. He also shows multiple variations and gives you plenty of time to practice and really get it. You can tell he cares about his students learning the right way. If you’re a beginner, this is the class you want to take + no gi is much more fun"

Samantha Lunt

"I’ve been training with Coach Raul for 3 ½ years now, and I can confidently say that he is an outstanding Jiu-Jitsu instructor. Raul has a remarkable ability to break down techniques into clear, easy-to-understand explanations. His patience and attention to detail have been key to my progress over the years. Whether you’re a complete beginner or have some experience, I highly recommend his school. Raul creates a welcoming environment for all levels of practitioners. His approach is both practical and effective. I’ve learned so much from him. If you’re serious about improving your Jiu-Jitsu, I can't recommend Raul enough!"
