What Our Students Say
Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.
Erika B. Atkins
"I honestly had high hopes for this facility based on previous reviews. The instructors seemed nice on the phone and were more than willing to get me into a class. However, I was highly disappointed when I arrived. First and foremost the amenities were not as advertised and the facilities were pretty filthy. I actually ended up contracting ringworm in multiple spots just days later. It also smelled terrible, like rancid sweat. Apart from that, the customer service was terrible in person. Staff was rude and I was made to feel incompetent and embarrassed for my beginner status. Would not recommend, save your money!"

"If you want a fantastic, family oriented establishment this is the place for you. I started training here a year ago and it has been the best thing in my life. The facility is clean, the Instructors care about our well being and everyone welcomes you with open arms. You get the fundamental as well as a juijitsu family! I love the love Chris and his family have for veterans, fire, and law enforcement! I’ve trained throughout the Santa Maria but this gym is the absolute best! Thank you for all you do!"
Gemma D
"My husband and I came from out of town and I had reached out to Chris way in advance that we would love to come in and train. He got back to us quick and was very inviting. We got to the gym and we were welcomed with open arms. Let me just say, I felt safe, we were treated like family and Chris and his wife were beyond amazing! Playlist was awesome too! 🔥😁 Can't wait to come back and train again soon. You can tell Chris really cares about his students and he's been in the game for a long time. Absolute beast on the mats! Quality training, quality atmosphere, quality bjj!"
Victoria Martinez
"Its the type of place you come and you are welcomed and encouraged by everyone. Truly family atmosphere with great classes to choose from. My daughter has been attending the kids class for the past year and loves every minute of it. She’s kept in great shape and has awesome social skills because of it. My boyfriend started not long ago and has already lost 20lbs and gotten in great shape. I can’t wait till I’m out there on the mats with them!"
