Instructors
Being a coach and instructor is so much more than teaching a set of moves. It is about fostering growth in someone's life.

“I love being a part of the transformation that occurs when someone trains with us, both mentally and physically. I teach and coach jiu jitsu because I love what it does to someone’s self confidence and because I simply love seeing people grow.”

“Jiu jitsu is not just about being fast and strong; it’s about understanding what positions you’re in. It’s as much an intellectual sport as it is a physical sport.”
KATE Rodriguez
Certified Personal Trainer
Strength & Conditioning Instructor
“When you become stronger, faster, and more agile, you gain an upper hand on your opponent. Sometimes your opponent is a person on the mat or in the ring, but other times your opponent is age, sickness, or even a job that keeps you sitting at a desk. I enjoy training people to be the strongest most capable versions of themselves so that they can have the upper hand both on and off the mat – in the ring and on the street – at the gym and at home.”
