Tati Acosta
"I started this Jiu Jitsu Journey back in 2022 with Professor Turtle and from the moment I walked in the front door I felt like I’ve always belonged. He is an amazing instructor! I highly recommend anyone who is thinking about starting Jiu Jitsu or even continuing training to come and check him out!"

"Ive trained with Professor Turtle for a few years now. He is the definition of what it truly means to be a black belt in this sport. His years of experience is a direct reflection of his commitment, love, and passion for the sport. He is very humble and will go above and beyond to teach his students of all levels. When i first got out of the military and didn’t have a home gym. Turtle took me under his wing on his own accord to coach me through my first competition. If you’re getting started with jujitsu or looking for a new home gym, there’s no other place to be. Come check it out!"

"Professor Turtle is an excellent teacher of jiu jitsu. Both of my boys are studding under him for 2 years now (started at the Lawrenceville location). They love it. I take his adult classes, and I love it too. Great variety of techniques, clear instruction, and a positive and friendly attitude. He's the best!"
Akash Patel
"I am a student to Professor Turtle and we have also become great friends. Learning jiu jitsu under him has been an amazing experience for me. As someone who has never done anything like jiu jitsu or combat sports, it was hard for me to assimilate. Professor Turtle helped me break that barrier and continues to push me to levels he thinks I am capable of achieving. My mentality has evolved and I am in the best shape of my life from training under him. There is a difference between a “black belt” and a “real black belt”. Prof Turtle is a real black belt that put his entire life into this sport and anyone that trains under him recognizes this!"
