Roger Machado Jiu-Jitsu Pasadena

"Professor Roger Machado brings a unique “art of movement” approach to his teaching. It was inspiring to watch his private lessons with the legendary Dan Inosanto, who was 80 years of age at the time. I was impressed by Roger’s zen like flow and relaxed deliver of the art. A approach to the art that is crucial if you are looking for a lifetime on the mat. He is a master teacher and also a historical part of first generation Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in America. I highly recommend!"

"The Roger Machado Jiu-Jitsu Academy provides the best training and conditioning I have ever experienced in my life and I am willing to wager that this establishment is the best in the state. Master Machado is highly skilled and very friendly. He is an excellent teacher who takes the time to make sure each student understands the techniques while placing a strong emphasis on safety."

"I started training with Roger Machado about five years ago. I had known about the school for a long time but procrastination got in the way and I passed by for years without going in. I regret not joining years earlier. Roger Machado is an excellent instructor and fosters a great environment at his school. The other students are extremely friendly and helpful. I never felt like I was fresh meat for the more experienced students when I first started. An excellent place to train for both beginners and more advanced students."

"Master Machado has been a great and ideal instructor. He teaches well and encourages a solid learning for JiuJitsu. In my time going there I want to keep going, learning and wanting to improve, and I now know I will make JiuJitsu a life long commitment. Thank you, Master Machado."
