Attended a seminar last weekend here and I can’t say enough about how nice of a gym this place is. Everyone from instructors to the cleanliness of the place is welcoming. Can’t wait to come back again. Thanks for having us.

I'm a BJJ competitor visiting the area and stopped in for a class as a guest. This place is legit for BJJ. 1 hour with Coach Roger added an arsenal to my game. The gym has a friendly and encouraging feel but houses some killers on the mat. I would highly encourage anyone looking for a safe environment to learn self defense to consider this school.

Rare Breed MMA was my very first brush with Jiu Jitsu and I couldn’t be more grateful to have started at such a great academy. Coach Emilio is highly knowledgeable and is noticeably dedicated to the improvement and progression of everyone who walks through the door, whether you’re seasoned or a complete beginner. His ability to simultaneously push his students to be their best and to challenge their perceived limits, while maintaining a positive and compassionate demeanor is what makes the learning environment engaging and absorbable. Students are treated like family here, and the community is kind and supportive- I think that greatly impacts the overall motivation to show up and continue training.
