It's heart warming to see how a community like this can continue to help you improve. This isn't a gym, its a whole vibe. I've never seen so many people become such extreme before and after transformations. "The Boogie Man" Richie Martinez and his wife Norah do wonders for all the people who come thru

Amazing place for kids! My grandson is five years old and already learning real jujitsu here. The staff is incredible—patient, caring, and truly committed to teaching the little ones. Not only is my grandson learning, but he’s also having so much fun. On top of that, their monthly price is the best in San Diego! Highly recommend.

This place is home to some of SD’s toughest fighters; the trainers are skilled, professionals. Aside from being outstanding fighters they are the friendliest, wisest, kindest, and humblest trainers I have ever seen. The type of women and men you want your kids to be around. Role models and mentors that will encourage and support your child; building self esteem, resilience, and confidence is what they do best.

I’m not the smartest guy. It takes me a bit longer than others to understand new stuff. I’ve been training here for a little over a month and I cannot say enough good things about coach Jacob Lee, his patience with me, and how much I feel like I progressed because of his great ability to teach slower people like myself. I never had a coach work with me before as patience as coach Lee. This gym is worth every penny
