★★★★★Greg Pienkowski

Incredible place for both kids and adults! Joining this Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu academy has been one of the best decisions my family has ever made. From the very first class, we were impressed not just by the quality of instruction, but by the culture of respect, discipline, and encouragement that the coaches have built. Every instructor leads by example — showing patience, humility, and genuine care for each student, regardless of age or experience. You can tell they truly want everyone to succeed both on and off the mats. Discipline is at the heart of every class. The structured lessons, focus on proper technique, and emphasis on mutual respect have helped our whole family build confidence, focus, and accountability. My child has learned how to set goals, work hard, and push through challenges — lessons that now show up in schoolwork, friendships, and everyday life. The values of perseverance and respect they’re learning here will last a lifetime. The academy provides a safe, positive environment where students can test themselves, overcome fears, and handle adversity with calm and confidence. That kind of growth builds a quiet strength that carries far beyond training. If you’re looking for a place that goes beyond just martial arts — one that teaches leadership, respect, and personal development — this is it. The coaching, community, and culture here are second to none. It’s not just a gym; it’s a family that helps you become the best version of yourself! Keep Rolling! 🤙

Our decision we made to put our child in the after-school program has been so great! They pick him up from school and take him to their martial arts studio where the kids learn self defense moves, discipline, respect, tricks and flips, make friends, etc. They also have a large room for the kids to work on after-school assignment when they are not learning martial arts. The program is super child oriented. What they learn here will last them a lifetime. Best decision ever!

★★★★★Stephanie Hodges

Mr A and Ms A are absolutely fabulous role models to the kids they work with. My son has been there four six years and absolutely loves it. The self confidence he has obtained from working at Alejandro’s Mixed Martial Arts Academy is amazing. Our daughter attended for several years and loved it. They are like family and enforce goals, structure and accountability in the kids they work with. Both our children compete in other sports such as competitive gymnastics and football and can say it has helped them tremendously in their additional sports. We are involved in various programs such as martial arts class, competition team, tricks and flips and kids jujitsu and love them all. We highly recommend Alejandro’s Mixed Martial Arts 😊💕

★★★★★Kyle Russell

We started here with the after school program nearly 4 years ago to keep our youngest active in the afternoons. Today our family is involved in both adult and child classes. The culture here is fantastic: it’s upbeat, disciplined, and encouraging. Mr and Mrs A. genuinely care about our daughter, and celebrate her accomplishments both on and off the mat. We are thankful to be part of the best Martial Arts Academy around.

★★★★★Kacey Mabe

We are so thankful we chose Alejandro Mixed Martial Arts Academy for our son. It has been the best thing we could have done for him! Mr. and Mrs. A are World Champions who are incredibly dedicated and skilled! They are providing a supportive and disciplined environment that fosters both physical and personal growth. My child has gained confidence, improved focus, and developed respect for others, all while learning valuable self-defense skills. He has gained life skills that will benefit him throughout his future. He can't get enough time at the academy. He's upset when it's time to go home and I'm pretty sure he would live there if I let him. 🥋💪🖤
