What Our Students Say

Bentley Wong
"If you’re looking for high-level instruction in Jiu Jitsu, this is the place to be. Felipe is not only a great coach who teaches a wide range of fundamental and advanced techniques, but he also fosters a culture of freedom where you’re encouraged to explore and develop your own game. The training partners here are equally excellent — they train safely and genuinely care about each other’s development. Whether you’re a hobbyist or an aspiring competitor, this is a solid spot."
Cody Kasper
"I had the privilege of collaborating with Felipe from RedZone Jiu-Jitsu a few months back to film an event for his business. He was incredibly friendly, professional, and a pleasure to work with! Felipe excels at engaging with kids, and I wholeheartedly recommend stopping by RedZone Jiu-Jitsu if you or someone you know is seeking an exceptional Jiu-Jitsu instructor"

"Great BJJ school for both kids and adults! Coach Felipe is amazing – super skilled and great with everyone. My son Kyle absolutely loved it and looks forward to every class. It’s a fun, safe, and positive place to train. Highly recommend"
Ryan Kundrat
"I had the pleasure of meeting Felipe when the shared space where he operated Red Zone Jiu Jitsu was closing. After building a loyal following, he needed a new space that would be the right fit for his studio—and we found it in no time. But what impressed me most wasn’t just Felipe’s years of training or dedication to Jiu Jitsu; it was the unwavering support from his students during the transition. They helped review lease documents, finish the new space, and move equipment—it was remarkable to see. That kind of dedication only comes from students whose instructor is equally committed to them. Felipe hasn’t just built a thriving Jiu Jitsu studio; he’s created a supportive community whose loyalty extends far beyond the mats. That’s the mark of a true leader and mentor. I’m excited to welcome Felipe and all of Red Zone Jiu Jitsu to their new home in Monroe!"
