Anne Mark
"My 11 yr old son attends the 5yrs and up classes taught by Julio. The gym is clean and well set up and his teaching is fantastic! My son loves this class and Julio has an amazing approach at teaching these kids skill along with conditioning. Both girls and boys attend and the environment is super friendly and welcoming for beginners. Me and my husband are stoked to have a gem of a gym & teacher like this in Santa Cruz!"
Frank Sester
"I stopped in while visiting from out of town, just to watch class, since I am recovering from an injury. The jiu jitsu was of the highest level and Julio and the rest of the guys welcomed me like an old friend. I was able to pick up techniques just from watching from the sidelines. I highly recommend this training facility. This is exactly what I believe Jiu jitsu is supposed to be."
Filip Turner
"Very nice place. I felt welcome when i trained there as a guest in SC"
