Travis “Gnarmasta gupta” Warner
"I highly recommend Piranha Jiu Jitsu. Coach Albert is amazing on and off the mat! I trust them 100% to teach the best techniques for self defense and sport jiu jitsu not only martial arts is taught Coach Albert teaches discipline and humility as well."
Matt Blake
"I have been to close to a dozen bjj gyms, and been involved in jiu jitsu for over 7 years. This one is by far the best. Thd staff is friendly and knowledgeable. They have multiple black belts there regularly, and have a special guest instructor almost once a month. The kids class is great too. My 9 year old was very very nervous about going to class, but now canr wait for tuesday, thursday, and sunday fpr the kids class. He wishes it was every day."
David Anthony Reyes

We are one big family with one big goal and that's to train for life and learn from one another. #PiranhaJiuJitsuClub #GallegosJiuJitsuAssociation #OneLove #PositiveVibes #OneFamily #StrongerTogether #Oss"
Lemance McCurry
"I've trained all over the country, but very few compare to the training at Piranha Jiu Jitsu under Professor Albert. If you're looking to compete, get in shape, or just train as a hobby then there's no reason to look any further!"
