What Our Students Say
Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.
Josie Solis
"My son started here about 10 months ago and we absolutely love it. He had his first tournament this past weekend and it was so nice that coaches and other parents were there to support. They really make you feel welcomed and part of the family. I would highly recommend this jiujitsu team to anyone. They are big on respecting parents and staying safe outside of practice such as in school or while with friends. We are new to California and did quite the research on surrounding gyms, I am beyond glad I was lucky to find such this great gym."
Nathanael Martinez
"Sensei Sammy is a great coach. He gives 100% to you if you try and want to learn. He doesn’t give any shortcuts, so be prepared to work. All his student’s belts are legit and earned with consistency, technique, and a humble student mentality. I’ve been training with him for ten years and have held my own against world champions and often get compliments on my jiu jitsu. He’s high level in judo, jiu jitsu, and wrestling and shares everything with his students. True, well rounded, martial artists are created here."

"Visiting California for Gi Worlds and needed a place to train, we decided to go to nearest gym and it felt like we won the lottery. The professor is an elite competitor with an insane amount of knowledge and technique, had a great session and a fun time"
Daniel Samaniego
"What a great experience we have had the last year and highly recommend this school. If your an adult, teen or have a child this is the school for you and them. The coaches are carrying and compassionate to every students development. The competition team and training shows at every tournament. I see that it's cleaned daily, the coaches are constantly monitoring for proper hygiene. Respect and integrity are taught."
