My son started here trying to find something very competitive. We found it! In which, it got me on the mat and competing. Life long goals with a committed instructor who knows his art. Thank you.
Side note. I started at 240 lbs. I am now 221 lbs. Thank you.
I feel so lucky to have found this place for my 4.5 year old son. Kiko and his team are amazing! My son looks so forward to attending each week, it's already taught my son patience, to follow directions and increased his self confidence. It has also helped with improving his concentration and of course... it's an amazing way to release his energy as well as improving his physical strength. Thank you, Kiko and Maria!
I've been training with Kiko for about 5 months now. I've been to a few other bjj gyms in the valley but this was the perfect place for me. Kiko does an excellent job of getting to know each of his students and help them develop their game while having a great time. This is a great gym for beginners as well as experienced bjj players alike. Kiko's gym fosters a great community and top notch training.
Kiko is fantastic. I love training at his academy. You will too. Get after it.
I recently started training under Kiko, but have known him for a couple of years. He’s great as a person and as a coach. He cares about his students and you can tell he loves teaching. It is a great gym and I’m excited to see how big it grows!
