What Our Students Say

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

Julian Keenan Grow

"I have attended several jiu-jitsu schools, but The Jiu Jitsu Lounge stands out as my favorite by a significant margin. The instructors here are incredibly personable, kind, and compassionate, offering outstanding group and private instruction that truly enhances the learning experience. Their kids' program is exceptional and has been a remarkable blessing in my son's life. At just 6 years old, he has gained confidence, accountability, thoughtfulness, and mental resilience from attending classes three times a week for just over a month. What I appreciate most is that they are very beginner-friendly, making it easy for newcomers to feel welcome. The community at The Jiu Jitsu Lounge is one of the most positive environments I've encountered in years, catering to both youth and adults alike. I wholeheartedly recommend this school to anyone interested in learning Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, parents looking to instill character and values in their children, and anyone wanting to explore martial arts in a supportive and enjoyable setting. Their flexible schedule accommodates a variety of needs, allowing for learning at different times throughout the day. Personally, I've progressed more quickly here than at any of my previous schools, thanks to the highly personable and professional instruction. I can't recommend The Jiu Jitsu Lounge enough!"

The instructors, Luis Cabrera and Andrew Franco, are not only skilled but also incredibly patient, making sure every student—whether a beginner or advanced—receives the attention they need to improve. The classes are well-structured, blending technique, drills, and sparring in a way that promotes steady and safe progress. What really makes TJJL special is the welcoming and inclusive community. The positive atmosphere and camaraderie among students create an environment where you feel motivated and supported every step of the way. If you're looking to learn Jiu-Jitsu, get in shape, or challenge yourself, The Jiujitsu Lounge is the perfect place to start or continue your journey."

"Honeslty this place is changing my life. As someone who came in new to BJJ and had already visited several other studios (all awesome) this one took the cake. I instantly felt comfortable and instantly found community. Not only that the specialized training here from the coach Luis and Drew (both black belts) is unmatched, I can tell how luckily I am to get such specialized training from the start. And they also have an amazing dog who is now my dog jajaja Anyways 100000/10"

Sarah

"Prof. Lu and Prof. Drew are the best. They love what they do and it shows when they are teaching others. Prof. Lu is amazing with breaking down skills, creating strategic plans and encouraging problem solving with the kids. He has a great ability to relate to the kids and to have FUN."
