Andy Montoya
"Update Started May 29th, 2024, at 49 years old, still going 2 to 3 times a week, down 35 pounds and much stronger, War Room still continues to impress and see myself here for the foreseeable future! May 2024 - I am on my 4th class here with Jose and his instructors. Everyone is respectful and their goal is to teach. Very patient and understanding with physical disabilities and general lack of training and ability. I highly recommend training here. There is no intimidation or egos on the mat. Super impressed."

"Using the school family plan ($350.00), all the family, have been enrolled for 7 months. My kiddos and I count 4 enrolled at The War Room School of Jiu-Jitsu. On the first tournament from Grappling Industries, the oldest one participated getting Gold Medal suggesting good performance. Professors coaches and students are engaged as a big family for both gym and outdoor camping events. We all are greatly satisfied with the overall environment at this school and recommend the Free Trial week for interested on learning this martial art."

"Having trained and competed in Jiu-Jitsu schools worldwide, the Albuquerque War Room School of Jiu-Jitsu is by far the best. The instructors are incredibly knowledgeable and passionate, providing personalized attention that has significantly improved my technique. The welcoming and supportive atmosphere makes it easy to feel at home. The top-notch, clean facility and flexible class schedule cater to all levels. Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned competitor, this is the place to train. Highly recommended! ---"

"My husband and I enrolled our daughter at The War Room after she experienced trauma at her previous jiu jitsu school. Professor Jose was incredibly patient with her, and after a long, trying, and stressful year, she has found her love for jiu jitsu again. Professor Jose and the coaches gained her trust, showed incredible patience with her, and let her lead the way with what she was comfortable doing. We left a corporate school and found family at The War Room. The professors and staff are incredibly professional, and care deeply for their school and their students. This is a family school, and you will see this for yourself just by simply walking into the school. My daughter overcame trauma, fear, and found her confidence and love for the sport thanks to Professor Jose and his staff. Since then, my husband and I have also started jiu jitsu with Professor Jose. The War Room is an exceptional school, with an extensive curriculum. My daughter went from a 6 week curriculum where she repeated the same moves every 6 weeks, to a year+ curriculum, and has grown into an exceptional athlete. This school is top tier, and incredibly fair priced. My husband and I were only able to pay for my daughter to attend jiu jitsu twice a week for 30 minutes at her old school. At The War Room, my entire family can now do jiu jitsu, and there are classes M-Th with an MMA class on Fridays! The War Room School of Jiu Jitsu is the place to be!"
