What Our Students Say
Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.
Justin Gray
"What started as a sport my daughter and I could do together, soon turned into a passion inspired by Coach Antonio. Fast forward two years and under Coach Antonio’s guidance my daughter have been able to compete at the same tournaments together. Memories that will last a life time. Coach Antonio gives clear and concise instructions to both the kids and adults and makes those new to Jiu Jitsu comfortable in a fun learning environment. His selflessness is unmatched and his passion for the sport is evident in every class. Highly recommend making it a point to try this gym out to see for yourself."
Ryan Ghannam
"I’ve trained under coach Antonio for almost two years and during that time his dedication to helping his students has been amazing. He always is looking to see how he can improve as a coach and how he can help his students improve. If you want to try jiujitsu in a comfortable environment with a coach whose number one priority is your growth then I cannot recommend Payback jiujitsu enough."
Chris Lane
"I’ve been to a few jiu jitsu places, and Payback is definitely the best. Antonio is a great instructor, and I feel like I was able to learn a lot of things quickly, plus the other members are always kind and helpful. Highly recommend checking it out"
Jayllourd Mars Gomez
"Coach Antonio has been a great instructor since I first started 3 years ago! Any class with him will definitely boost your progress in this sport"
