Came here for the kids jiu jitsu program. Brought in my son so he can learn to defend himself. He went from zero experience to being able to win a 1st place Gold medal at his first jiu jitsu tournament. I myself joined the academy to learn to defend myself. I have learned tons of techniques and I can confidently say, jiu jitsu has helped me in many ways including helping my fitness/weight loss journey.

The professors are great, the team members were always so welcoming as well. No egos, just a place to learn and grow. This place also offers kick boxing classes which is an amazing class to supplement

This is the absolute best Jujitsu gym I have ever been to. Best instructor ever, he is extremely professional at all times and is very knowledgeable. The gym is extremely clean and he offers private lessons for reasonable prices. The students safety is paramount and it shows. I have been with this gym for a few years and have only seen the upmost respect for all who walk through the doors. Its a month to month gym so no high pressure contracts or sales tactics. If you dont like what you are learning then there are no commitments.

The gym is very clean, the students and instructor are willing to help and no one has egos. I know every time I train here I will learn, stay safe and enjoy one of the cleanest gyms with the best mat in OC. Always leave with my fat crying covered in sweat!

Finding this gym was by far the best thing that's happened to me in 2020. I've always wanted to learn and practice jiu jitsu because of the complex 3D chess game that it is, and when I came across a groupon deal to try it for a month, I saw it as a sign I should finally do it. I called the number that same night after hours to remind myself to call the next day to ask questions I had before going to my first class. Nick called me right back and we had a good conversation as I told him my background and what I was looking for. I felt very happy about the choice I made. Going to the first class I

I trained with Nick for about a year after I got bullied out of the line up surfing in Newport Beach. My confidence level went up 100% after training for just a few months. I became fit much faster than going to the gym and became more aware of my strength and a abilities which helped me overcome insecurities that previously kept me from defending myself. A year after training consistently I encountered myself in a similar situation where a man attacked one of my friends at a bar. I was able to submit the guy without any punches while security defused the situation. I am forever grateful for my
