T Wade
"This gym is incredible. The culture is awesome, the people were all so friendly and the instruction is solid. I dropped in over the weekend from out of town to bring a local friend of mine that used to grapple in hopes that he'd start training jiu jitsu. We were generously welcomed and got to work -- such a great experience. If you're looking for a place to train, this is it!"
JOHNNY LACANILAO
"Excellent classes and instructors. My daughter tried a trial period with Coach Millan, he was very professional! He was great with the kids, and able to keep them focused on the mats. My daughter can’t wait to go back, it was such a fun and safe environment for her."

"Great atmosphere and family friendly gym! The staff is very attentive, highly knowledgeable and welcoming. They are able to help you out in any aspect of your training whether it's your first day on the mats and are looking for something new or just looking to get in shape or you're a skilled competitor looking to increase your game. If you are looking for Jiu-jitsu gym in North County San Diego then look no further! I would highly recommend this to all my friends and family! 10/10 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️"
Andrea Chamberlin
"Great gym, family friendly and always welcoming. Our oldest neurodivergent son has been training here for almost 2 years. He’s learning great skills. The coaches are thorough breaking down the new moves and our son is always excited to go to class. Now our youngest just joined and is loving it too."
