What Our Students Say
Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.
Brandon Amis
"My teenage daughter dropped in for a 6 am class while she was on her 8th grade trip. Tryfon and his team treated her like she was one of their own. The gym is super clean, and the instruction was amazing. This team is super welcoming and we are excited to drop in again on future trips to the Bay."
Dmytro Pakhan
"What really sets this gym apart is the sense of community. There’s no egos here – everyone’s focused on improving and pushing each other to get better. Whether you’re a white belt or a seasoned competitor, there’s a feeling of camaraderie and mutual respect that makes training here enjoyable. Kids program awesome! They have games at the end of each practice, coach Paulo and Tryfon very supportive, helping kids with mental games!"
Ashley Mak
"I have nothing but positive things to say about this gym. Let's start off with Tryfon and the coaching team. they are knowledgeable, warm, and are just overall amazing people. The class schedule is huge, allowing a ton of flexibility if you want to train in the morning or evenings. And, the mat space is huge, so it can accommodate a ton of people. Highly recommend if you are looking for a place to train."
Amrit Cheema
