Probably the best jiu-jitsu for kids in San Diego. I have had my kid for three years. The lead instructors actually know childhood education and design classes around that. Good form.
Beautiful training room with lots of high level athletes. There is training for all levels, all styles and everyone is included. Great atmosphere that brings the entire jiu-jitsu community together, all around fantastic experience!
Loving the 5 week beginner course. Every day is a new tool in the belt!
