Armando Perez-Raptor BJJ

Armando is a fantastic instructor with a natural talent for teaching. He’s highly knowledgeable in his craft, incredibly patient, and skilled at breaking down concepts in a way that’s easy to understand. He also knows how to challenge you appropriately based on your skill level, ensuring steady progress without putting you at risk of injury. Highly recommended!

Armando is a great instructor! He’s patient, kind, respectful and full of information. I also like how he mixes in positional focused live rolling sometimes. Lastly I’ll say he’s one of the best people to roll with regardless of your skill level. He rolls super smooth and controlled so you’ll always feel safe. It can be frustrating when you’re giving a 110% effort and he can calmly carry on a conversation with someone or probably read a book during the roll. LOL. He’s awesome.

Armando is one of the best coaches I’ve had the pleasure to train with. He practices what preaches and shows the techniques he uses in competition in class. From beginner to advanced students, everyone can better themselves with his teaching!

Parent and student. Armondo is a household name in my home, as each of my 3 children have trained under Armondo in one form or another. To coach a class full of young restless kids, and to keep them focused, is an extreme testament to who Armondo is as a teacher, coach, and man. Yes, he’s training champions, but also training young boys and girls to compete with integrity. As a student, I be trained under Armondo for almost a year. What started as a way to get in shape quickly became an obsession that I won’t give up for the rest of my life, thanks in huge part to Armondo. The first day is intimidating to say the least, and I came in not sure if I would enjoy BJJ. Quickly Armondo worked with me, treating me with decency, coaching through positions and encouraging me to continue trying. This man encouraged me to keep at it and now I don’t like to miss a session. Armondo represents exactly what a coach should, and I encourage everyone to come train with him.

I’ve been training with Coach Armando for over a year now, and my Jiu Jitsu journey has been nothing short of transformative. Armando is patient, detailed, genuinely caring, and his teaching style has had a huge impact on my progress. Through his knowledge and ability to break down complex techniques into digestible steps, my skills and confidence have grown significantly. What I enjoy about Coach Armando is his dedication to fostering a welcoming and supportive team. He instills a sense of camaraderie and respect that makes every class feel not just like a training session, but a chance to grow alongside others. I came to Coach Armando's classes to learn Jiu Jitsu, but what I've gained goes far beyond that – I’m also building close knit friendships. I highly recommend Coach Armando to anyone looking to improve their Jiu Jitsu, regardless of sex, age, or experience level. His passion for the art and his students is unmatched.
