I've been learning from Professor Danny the past two years and a half years and I couldn't have asked for a better instructor. He is excellent at teaching, giving instruction and motivates you when you feel like giving up. I've had the privilege of him coaching all my competitions and his voice echoes beyond anyone and gives me the guidance I need to finish the match. It's with great confidence that I recommend this school to anyone looking to advance their martial arts abilities and learn self defense. I started doing jiu jitsu to assist in my law enforcement duties. Eventually I put on a gi and fell in love with the sport. Professor Danny makes sure that you not only know and understand the fundamentals of jiu jitsu, but know how to defend yourself on the street. You can't go wrong under his instruction. read more

This is a great place to learn the gentle art of Jiu-Jitsu. I have had the pleasure of knowing and learning from the professor. He is a very knowledgeable and humble instructor who will not only teach the the methods and training of the arts but will instill the very needed values needed today such as discipline, integrity, self confidence, self respect, honor, patience and commitment. I congratulate him and can't until opening day, as I look forward to continue training with him. Thank you for your commitment and for continuing the Carlson Gracie and Ghost Squad lineage ahead.
