What Our Students Say

george muniz

"Such a warm and welcoming environment the camaraderie is evident as soon as you walk through the door. Professor Tama has created a place that is fun to learn at and he delivers precise information that is easily digestible for all levels. Johnny also encourages students to train as often as possible to increase skills and techniques. I would highly recommend training here and I will definitely return."

Azimah Azmi

"When I look for a place to train, the coaching and the community makes a huge difference for me. Johnny is an outstanding coach with a wealth of wisdom he shares on the mat and consistently encourages your continued learning. Everyone is friendly and welcoming, which makes training really fun and conducive - I love that about this place. So grateful for Tama Jiujitsu!"

Vincent Ortiz

"We’ve had such an amazing experience at Tama Jiu-Jitsu with our 3 1/2 year old son Niko. Coach Fausto is incredibly patient, supportive, and really knows how to connect with the kids. Our son looks forward to every class and is learning discipline, confidence, and focus—all while having fun. The environment at Tama is welcoming and family-friendly, and you can tell the coaches truly care about the kids’ growth both on and off the mat. We’re so grateful we found this place!"

Carrie Mcnulty

"Awesome jujitsu gym! Positive atmosphere. People are helpful and nice. Professor Johnny was so kind. He got me a chair, while I watched my boys. I didn’t even ask. Made me feel special. There is a fantastic cross breeze that keeps the gym cool! Right by fiesta Island! If you’re in the area check it out! Professor Johnny is extremely knowledgeable about jujitsu."
