What Our Students Say

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

Adrian Saldana

"Had an awesome time training here. It sincerely felt like training back home. Not only do the instructors break every detail down, but they also have the best music playlist by far. Thank you Chris, Miguel, Steve, Luis, Victoria, John, Cord, Marquis, Justin, and Joel for going the extra mile."

J.G

"I’ve trained at multiple Jiu Jitsu gyms in the past, and the culture at The Arena stands out above the rest. This is a place where everyone, regardless of skill level or goals, feels supported. For adults, whether you’re aiming to get in shape, learn practical self-defense, or compete in Jiu Jitsu, The Arena provides a solid foundation and a community to support you. My kids also attend classes here, and I’ve seen a remarkable increase in their confidence and discipline. Training together has even strengthened our bond, as Jiu Jitsu has become something we share and grow in together. If you’re looking for a high-quality Jiu Jitsu gym with a welcoming environment, I highly recommend The Arena."

Michelle C

"I had a great experience working out at The Arena! This gym caters to people of all ages and fitness levels. They genuinely treat each person that enters The Arena like family. Thank you Victoria for planning fun and effective workouts, I really enjoyed them. The comaradarie is next level. See y'all next time."

Richard Street

"Our son has been attending for about 3 months now in the adult class. Very impressed not only with the coaches but also the other adult students. It’s a great place and education. Highly recommend checking it out!!"
