Coach Mauricio Rizzada has been my oldest son coach for few years and have been amazing..He work out people inside and out..Its been so rewarding to trust him, not only for his knowledge in sports but the transformation he does with it..now my youngest son is joining the team and we cant think on going on somewhere else, so far we been hanging a few medals on our family wall but the most important we had on them is the hard work, respect,confidence, discipline and dedication they learn. Hats off!!!

I started training Jiu Jitsu with Rizzada three years ago. I had to stop for unrelated medical reasons last year, but as soon as I am better I will be right back there to train again. It's a small gym with a good vibe and great people. Everyone there is friendly and helpful. I really felt at home there. It' s a great place to begin or continue training BJJ. Coach Mauricio Rizzada is the best. He's a great man with incredible talent who will truly inspire you to be the best you can be in life and Jiu Jitsu. Oss

I do not go to this school nor my kids ever will. I was at the wrong place at the right time, only to see one of the coaches cuss out two girls in the parking lot. I was at the pizza place that is next-door, on my way out I saw one of the coaches whose name I ignore cuss and yell to two young ladies because “they parked in the wrong parking spot”. He was being so rude, there were kids and parents sitting outside of his business, there were also underage kids taking classes, everybody was an spectator to his extremely rude showcase of lack of control. I don’t know about other families, but I live around the area and I was strongly considering taking my kids to this place. STAY AWAY FROM THIS RUDE BUSINESS. There is just no excuse to yell at two young ladies because they parked in the wrong spot. There are ways of handling these situations, and personally I would never allow my kids to be coached by somebody that has such a short temper, horrible vocabulary and just straight out yells at women, sir if you are the owner of a establishment, you should know better. I was so shocked by this! It honestly seemed so wrong to have a 6 foot guy cut out two 5’3 girls!!! Straight out unforgivable and disrespectful, I get it that they probably parked in a spot they shouldn’t have but this is in no way an excuse to behave the way you did, if this was not the owner of the establishment then sir, I really hope you get fired because it doesn’t matter how good of a coach you are if you cannot control your temper around other people. I would not let this man coach my kids or anybody that I care for, I fear that they will be taught to have no control over their emotions and to disrespect women!!!! Stay away from this place!! What if he does that to your kids when you are not looking?? Food for thought!
