What families say

“My son was excruciatingly shy and was uncomfortable if another kid touched him... learning how to have physical contact with other kids brought him out of his shell in the most amazing way and gave him a social confidence.” — STEPHANIE AGUILAR, SAN CLEMENTE

“Been training with Sensei Paulo since 2015. As someone who never did anything like Jiu-jitsu before I was nervous and didn't know what to expect. I found Guillobel bjj to be very welcoming, and encouraging which I kinda didn't expect. In the time since then I've gone from 250 lbs and a pack of Marlboros a day into the 190 lb lean killing machine I am today. Sign up the whole family.” — Joseph Taccarino, DANA POINT
