What Our Students Say
Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.
Billy Porter
"I really think this place is great. I live in Texas, and every time I’m in town, I always train here. The owner has been nothing but polite and hospitable to me, and I have only seen him treat others with respect. I have seen him teach brand new students and high level practitioners, and he is great with both. Each time I train here, I feel welcome and like I’m part of the family. Not to mention, the instruction is top level! Whether you are brand new or a seasoned veteran, this is a place where you can grow and become the best version of yourself. I highly recommend it."
Leandro France
"This academy is amazing. I’ve been training here for quite some time and you cannot find a better training partners or people to learn with. Our professor Santiago is a world class competitor who is very eager to share his love of the sport with anyone. Whether you want to lose weight, learn how to defend yourself, or looking for your child’s next hobby, this is the place!!!"
Eduardo Da Silva
"I started here in July and it was the best decision of my life. The people are great, and supportive. I have been a soccer player all my life and now more of a weightlifting person. Jiu Jitsu has taught me it’s not all about strength. I train under Santiago Farina and he is an amazing teacher and he started as a friend but now he is my brother. I have the most respect for him on and off the mat. Santiago trained under Bernardo Pital so he is legit black belt with a lot of experience and champions won."
Tony Montgomery
"Never been to a BJJ gym in America. However I can say this one immediately made me feel welcome. The instructor was very professional the other students all introduced themselves and asked me questions. I can say its well worth your time visiting."
