David Romero
"Paraiso has a great atmosphere! Vince (the instructor) is knowledgeable and has a great teaching style. He and everyone training will help you work through the challenges of learning such a unique skill. If anyone is on the fence about stepping onto the mat, there's no better place to do so than at Paraiso!"
Cintia Alcantar
"Vince the instructor has created such a great atmosphere in this gym. Everyone is so nice and willing to help you out with the lesson. Don’t hesitate to try it out!"
Silvia Camarena
"Paraíso jiujitsu has afforded me a new experience in my active lifestyle to express my creativity and to destress from daily life. I enjoy the weekly lessons as well as the free women’s self defense class on Saturday mornings. I have met wonderful people who are willing to help you understand the technique and support you in your journey. I am excited to continue growing in this space. It’s a beautiful mix of challenging and nurturing."
Selene Alcantar
"I just recently starting attending the self defense class for women (which is free btw) and I love it so much!! The instructor Vince is such a great teacher ! He really makes sure every one understands the moves and just makes you feel so comfortable."
