WE ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS PLACE!!!!! You can really feel how invested the coaches really are to these kids. My daughter has never had more fun than coming here. The owners are really nice people, and have really won us over with how they run this facility, how they treat the students and parents. Hands down the cleanest dojo I’ve ever been in, and LOTS of kids. I hope to see them grow and prosper in a hard industry, they have what it takes, not only as a professional business, but as a place where kids want to go. Thank you for everything you guys do for these kids.

Fantastic group of people to train with and very personable, knowledgeable and dedicated instructors. Gustavo, Jose, Bruno, all of the instructors at G13 are first rate jujitsu practitioners, excellent teachers, and just great people. If you are starting BJJ and looking for Very high quality instruction, or continuing your study of the art, definitely check out Gustavo, G13 and the whole team there.

This place is amazing. Very close community that encourages and sincerely wants you to become better. The Professor and coaches are excellent! I wanted to give a 7 month update. We still feel the same as before but we definitely feel a part of this family. People sincerely care about you on a personal level(if you connect at that level) and as training partners. We highly recommend our academy!

Would I recommend it. NOPE!! There are never enough instructors to help assist the kids in learning the moves, the younger instructors though wonderful can't control the children. One of the instructors has twin daughters in the classes when they are not there they never follow directions and they are so mean to the new students saying hateful discouraging things. The instructors will say things like maybe this is too hard for him um I'm sorry isn't your job as an instructor to teach. The owner is so nice and most of the instructors are so kind but it's disorganized chaos so id recommend driving the extra 30 minutes into Albuquerque if you really want your beginner child to learn and be encouraged. My son is now in Gracie Barra it's excellent
