"Professor Pimentel is THE BEST. He truly cares about each student's journey and the progress they make. He is unbelievably kind, compassionate, and a great mentor. This is definitely the place you want to go for BJJ, MMA, Muay Thai, and becoming a competitor. He doesn't just teach techniques, he teaches personal growth and overcoming obstacles."
