As a woman that is important to me and I feel very safe and confident in the skills I am learning. I highly recommend this gym to everyone and especially all the ladies."

"Mike Is one of the most amazing coaches I have ever met. He is phenomenal with kids and the love and passion he has for wrestling and jiu-jitsu is unbelievable. We at the Lions Den wrestling club have Mike Coach our advanced class one night a week and he is phenomenal with the kids teaching them. If you wanna become the best, this is the coach and club you want to go to"
Matt Pasqualone
"Great place to train! I have been training here for a little over 6 years now. Everyone helps each other to improve and better themselves in a familial environment, would always recommend to anyone looking to first start BJJ or looking for a great place to train in general!"
Inna Lanie
"Our two daughters have been practicing jiujitsu in Padilla BJJ since 2022 and still are going strong to the same place. We like that coach Mike has a special connection to all of his students, he has a healthy balance of being strict and fun. We appreciate his positive attitude, encouragement and helping each kid learn jiujitsu and be better overall. Both of our kids got stronger and they are in a better physical shape thanks to the warms up and extra exercises at the end of each class. I think we could not find any better place for our children to learn Brazilian jiujitsu, they both progressed and learned a lot. My personal favorite moment that the gym is always very clean."
