My son loves learning BJJ at Otomi. We always had to drag my son to extracurricular activities, but not here. He’s so excited coming here and loves Coach Gonzo. He’s getting his exercise and learning discipline. Highly recommend 5/5! ☺️

I have been training for 20 years. I have been to a few different schools. I took a trial class and everyone was very welcoming. Professor Gonzalez is a very detailed instructor that not only cares about his students, but also how he teaches. I would highly recommend this school.

Coach Gonzo is as friendly and welcoming as he is knowledgeable. Both our kids love learning from him.

I’ve been training in several grappling arts for 13 years now, have competed and traveled to train at other schools nationally and internationally. Otomi Martial Arts and Prof. Gonzo create a great environment for first timers and experienced grapplers to grow and improve. The coaching staff truly cares about improving the student’s lives on and off the mats, also each has their own impressive lineage and experiences to share. Couldn’t recommend this location more to anyone wishing to learn martial arts both kids and adults.

My son has been training here for the past 8 months, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. From the very beginning, Coach Gonzo made him feel welcome and supported, and it’s been amazing to watch his confidence grow week after week. He’s not only learning jiujitsu techniques but also important life skills like discipline, patience, and respect. Coach Gonzo has a special way of connecting with the kids and it’s clear how much he genuinely cares. The rest of the coaches are just as incredible always encouraging, attentive, and great with the kids. We’re so grateful to have found this place.
