What Our Students Say
Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.
Crystal Garcia
"If you want your kids to learn jiu-jitsu this is the place. Our 7yo son has tried other gyms before and this is one that he instantly loved. The Professor Thyago and all coaches (Alex, JP, Andres and Patty) are all so extremely patient, kind and encouraging. I love that the gym teaches them discipline and respect that they embody in and out the gym. They teach them anti bullying, how to protext themselves from strangers, mental strength, etc. We loved it so much that our 4yo is now enrolled as well for their 3-5yo class twice a week. They have No Gi and Muy Thai as well for adults that look awesome!"
Ezekiel Jimenez
"TM Jiu-Jitsu Academy is an awesome gym! I came in here on Saturday for a drop in and was greeted by Professor Thyago and Coach Patty. I hopped into a class led by Professor John and the class was very good. I learned good technique. After the class, open mat begun. All the members I met were very nice. To anyone looking for a good martial arts gym in Orange, this is the spot to come. You can learn jiu jitsu and muay thai at TM Academy."
Timothy Chough
"If you want a place to grow your jiu jitsu and train with high level guys, this is the place. Professor Thyago learned and trained with IBJJF legends and big name UFC fighters and now built a great environment for anyone to learn. TM is also a very family friendly place. Professor Thyago is a family man himself and puts a big emphasis on respect and attitude. Definitely worth checking out for all those living in the area!"
Anthony Ton
"Visited here during vacation! The gym is very new, spacious, and clean. Love the white walls with the grey mats. Professor Thyago is meticulous in his instruction and shows stuff that he uses himself in competition. The gym environment felt safe but challenging. I will definitely incorporate his techniques in my game."
