"Love this place! Beautiful studio; coaches are great with the kids. Self defense is a must for my kids and jiu jitsu is the best place to learn those skills!"
"I have had the privilege to train with and learn from Wander. He is amazing at breaking things down, and teaching it at whatever level you are at. I am most impressed by how patient and accommodating he is with my 3 young daughters. They are 7, 9 and 12 and have very different skill and understanding levels, and he effortlessly instructed them with enthusiasm. 110% recommend training with him and having your kids train with him."
