We started hunting for a BJJ place for our daughter sometime around June 2016. The goal was to find a place that would help her build confidence, further develop respect for self and others, and to keep her active. All the technique and skill she picked up would've just been extra. We've seriously got all that and a whole lot more.
It all starts with Professor Hector and Helen. They were very welcoming on her first class, no pressure. Just to see if it something she'd be interested. She has gone from a reluctant, shy girl to loving everything about Jiu Jitsu and being more confident in herself. Everything about this place is second to none, from the way the coaches handle the kids' classes to the how Hector pushes you to get the best out of yourself. They keep it real and I've seen many kids get better in the 4 months we've been here. We started out with an average class of 15 kids in July and now I sometimes see 45 kids on back-to-back days.
Most of parents I've spoken to have been in the BJJ game for a long time, have transferred here, and they all say "This is the place to be." It shows with the attendance and low turnover. Many kids come, not many leave.
Our daughter has been in soccer for a year more than BJJ, but if given only one choice, we definitely would stay with Hector and Cobrinha for as long as we're allowed to.
Highly recommend. World class teachers. World class family.
