Sensei Studio was founded in 2020 and became an official affiliate of the Caio Terra Association in 2021. All Sensei Studio staff are IBJJF certified and meet the professional standards of their sport. The head instructor and owner is Professor Tony Caito, the gym manager and kickboxing/striking instructor is Ana, and the association founder is 12-time world champion Professor Caio Terra. Sensei Studio is a member of the Caio Terra Association, and all classes follow the curriculum set by Professor Caio Terra in accordance with CTA standards. The mission of Sensei Studio is to spread the art of Jiu-Jitsu while staying true to the standards set by Professor Caio Terra, with a one team philosophy where everyone gets better together. Sensei Studio is described as one of Modesto’s premier martial arts academies specializing in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, with programs for men, women, and children of all levels, and welcomes both black belts and complete beginners. Training includes dynamic movements, actively resisting opponents, and a focus on proper body mechanics and techniques that build a solid foundation, with a fundamental program that progresses to advanced levels where concepts and techniques are applied against resisting opponents, and no two training sessions are the same. The academy has over 4000 square feet of equipment and mats, and the equipment and mats are described as some of the best available for a safe, fun experience for families.
One parent, Teng Yang, says that Sensei Studio welcomed his family and that joining with his daughter has been a meaningful journey. Another student, Ana Farias, describes the environment as very welcoming, with adults and kids uplifting each other on and off the mats, and says the sport and the people have changed her life. Student Kevin Singh (Entel) shares that he started Jiu-Jitsu at Sensei Studio in September 2020, was greeted by Professor Tony, lost approximately 56 pounds from an initial weight of 320 pounds, and reports being in the best mental space he has ever been in, crediting the culture that Professor Tony has cultivated.
