What Our Students Say
Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.
Justin Peterson
"I’ve been going here for two and a half years now, and I’m glad this is where I chose to learn Juijitsu. My progression has been incredible thanks to the amazing quality of instruction from Muchacho, the owner, and the entire crew that trains here. I competed, as a white belt, 1.5 years in and took home gold, and this year I competed at the Pan American Championships as a two stripe blue belt, as a light-weight Masters 5 (51-56) and took home to Gold…this could not have happened anywhere else! It f you want to learn in a supportive environment, from the absolutely best instructor, this is where you go. Oss!"
Stephen Nosworthy
"I have been training at SHJJ for over 2 years now and from day one was welcomed with open arms. Muchacho has created an excellent environment for anyone coming in to feel safe and learn the art of Jiu-Jitsu from someone who is a true student of the game."
Douglas Black
"The best jiujitsu school I have trained at. There are very few places you can find a coach who cares so much about the quality of jiujitsu being practiced and is always learning and teaching the latest techniques rather than what he learned years ago like many other teachers. The professor and the students here are something special."
Masterskya Jiu Jitsu
"The best. We have met and trained with Muchacho and his other coaches and all are world class instructors, and know how to teach as well as make the environment and classroom fun. Highly recommended"
