What Our Students Say
Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.
Maya Karolak Vinson
"I have been a student under Rodrigo for 8 years now! It is always a pleasure to learn here because everyone is like family and the format in which the classes are taught help me learn well. He makes sure that you know the moves he teaches in and out and we always practice them thoroughly. He gives clear instructions and I also get a range of different partners to roll with. What he teaches matches everyone skill level. He teaches basics and many advanced techniques a lot of people don’t normally see. Seeing everyone makes my day and I have climbed the entire kids rank under his help. I am now a Blue Belt."
