What Our Students Say

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

Brittanee Perez

"I’ve been going to Tutela for a couple months and absolutely love it. I’m brand new to Jiu Jitsu and Coach Justin is great in breaking everything down step by step. My daughter also does the kids classes and she is always so excited to go. The gym is very clean and has such an inviting energy. If you are looking for a place to learn Jiu Jitsu is someone who has been at it awhile I definitely recommend going here!"

Claudia Franklin

"I love the atmosphere of this gym. The facility is nice and well kept. The coaching approach is experienced, knowledgeable and so friendly! The team i’ve joined has helped boost my confidence ❤️ I’ve been training now for 3 months now and have also brought along my boyfriend and sister to join!"

HerpesfreeiPromise

"Was in Corpus Cristi for work and stopped by Tutela for a good training session on my off day and they let me come in and cross train from the gym i am originally from. Justin welcomed me with smiles and open arms and cool techniques i’ve never seen before, and all the other training partners were safe, easygoing, and fun. Mat space for wrestling is something i love and they had that. HIGHLY RECOMMEND if you want to learn self defense and get in shape."

Pete Zamora

"Where to began I’ve been on a self discovery for 38 years of my life. I just want to say going to Tutela I literally feel like I’ve found my community my family. No judgment zone I look forward each day to learn more and more from Justin and Sam it’s such a great space. I’ve been going for about two weeks now I’m more than excited for my future endeavors with Tutela. Not to mention my younger brother and nephew attend so it’s literally a family affair. But I want to add in the short time I’ve been attending I’ve already made friendships that are more like brotherhoods so thank you Justin and Sam thank you @Tutela excited for the future because it is bright! 🙏🏽🙇🏽‍♂️🤍 🪽🪽🪽🪽🪽🧿"
