What the Villains
are saying
I've been coming here for about a month and started in the beginner's course. Most welcoming process into the sport I've ever experienced. Instruction is clear and concise. Coach Mike has been nothing but accommodating to us newbies and has prepared us to take on the normal classes. Top-notch facilities. Highly recommend.
Legit black belt instruction in a welcoming environment for all skill levels. Coach Mike does an excellent job of blending wrestling, judo, and jiu-jitsu into his curriculum. Top-notch instructor, leader, and motivator. I went from being a guard puller to having complete confidence in my standup game. Come train with us Monday – Saturday.
Awesome gym. All of the coaches are attentive and motivating. Everyone is welcoming and encouraging. I just completed the 6-week beginner's course and I really liked how moves and positions were built upon throughout. Helped me grasp crucial details. 10P Whittier — where the chokes are prettier.
