Great place to start training jiu jitsu, especially for children and teenagers. I've been practicing here for over a year and my daughter just started too. Mike and Bibi are great people and place great importance on teaching the right things from a young age. Come take a trial class and start a change in your life.

My two children train Jiu Jitsu with Coach Mike and Bibi, and beyond their technical expertise, both are incredibly patient and attentive with the kids. All the students truly enjoy the classes and stay committed to training largely because of how the coaches run the sessions. In addition to the sport, my children have developed self-confidence, focus, and discipline. The kids and their families are very engaged, creating a great environment for everyone. I highly recommend Del Angel Jiu Jitsu without any hesitation!

Our family is incredibly grateful for Mike Del Angel Brazilian Jujutsu Academy. My son is about to turn 15 and has trained here for nearly three years, and the growth we’ve seen has been incredible. He has gained confidence, strength, focus, and discipline — not just on the mat, but in everyday life. While he was already a bright student, this academy helped him become even more focused in school, earning him nearly a perfect GPA. Once shy and introverted after being bullied in his earlier years, I always knew there was a lion inside of him. Through his hard work and Coach Mike’s tough, caring, and invested coaching, that confidence has emerged. He is now a young man who can defend himself while carrying himself with integrity, humility, and the decency of a true gentleman. This academy builds far more than martial artists — it builds strong character. We highly recommend Mike Del Angel Jujutsu Academy. Coach Mike & Bibi.. We love you guys and thank you for welcoming us and everyone as family!
