What Our Students Say

Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.

F A

"I’ve trained in MMA for many years, and it’s rare to find a place that truly leaves an impression. Tawheed Jiu-Jitsu is one of those rare gems. Here, you don’t just train with some of the best technically, but you roll with true brothers, creating a sense of community unlike anything I’ve experienced. I highly recommend it, especially for beginners. If you're looking for a welcoming space with humble people eager to teach, and plenty of one-on-one time with the professor, this is definitely the place to be."

ABD

"I've trained at several gyms, including some that looked great on the surface but lacked a real sense of community. At one gym, for example, the focus felt more like a business transaction than a place to grow, trainers seemed distant, and the environment was competitive in the wrong way.On the other hand, nothing compares to Tawheed Jiu-Jitsu. The level of skill there is exceptional and hard to find elsewhere, but what truly sets it apart is the environment. It’s a sincere, authentic gym that isn’t about the money it’s about the people. Everyone shares a strong bond, and you immediately feel welcomed and valued. It's an all-around incredible place to train, where you truly feel like part of a team."

Emilio Aguilar

"I joined Tawheed Jiu-Jistu for about 3 months now I have never felt more confident in my self I feel stronger I feel healthier the environment is so welcoming and friendly the professor khalil is such a amazing teacher takes time with you when you struggle with something explains it so clearly and shows you as well and will push you to be the best you. my overall experience has been absolutely amazing would recommend this to anyone"

axneris torres

"I was looking for a place to help my son with his fitness and self-defense training. I found that and more here! The atmosphere is very comfortable, and the instructor takes the time to guide you and help you improve, always encouraging you. 👍🏻💪🏻👏🏻"
