What Our Students Say
Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.
Kelly Gallego
"As someone completely new to jujitsu, walking into a gym as a beginner and knowing nothing is quite intimidating. This place is very welcoming, and Shawn is extremely patient and knowledgeable, breaking down the basics to where I could understand techniques and the purpose behind what we were learning. The culture is great— all the upper belts are also very welcoming and willing to help and share tips/correct form. Every class I attend I walk away with new knowledge of the art of jujitsu and excited to come back to learn more. Can’t recommend Takeover Jujitsu enough, just come give it a try!"
