What families say
“My 11 year old child’s been attending for a few years now. Absolutely adores it! Carlos runs the best studio; he creates a very warm and friendly environment. Kind, soft spoken and gentle with his students. I can’t recommend it enough!!” — Nelson M.
“My 12 year old son has been taking jiu-jitsu classes for around 3 years now. His confidence, discipline, and self esteem have all increased. I’ve been in the program for about three years as well, and am immensely grateful for Carlos’ patience and help. He keeps classes fun, meaningful, and full of useful information” — Bruce C.
“It was cool to train jiu jitsu here with the other students. I learned how to stand after being on the floor so it’s not easy to be knocked down again among other things. It’s nicely located near trader joes as well so you can get a snack or juice as well after training.” — Melinda J.
