He always makes sure the students understand techniques before he moves on to the next step. He encourages questions after every demonstration, he looks out for the students safety, always keeping an eye out for good safe techniques. We also learn striking techniques used in MMA through the art of Muay Thai, which is an incredible cardio workout by itself. I was very fortunate to find instructor Diaz, I wanted to learn from a Gracie Jiu Jitsu black belt, and I think Diaz is hands down one of the best black belts around. kudos instructor Diaz, Destin is lucky to have you.

Personally, I hate working out but this community that trains here, make it so easy to want to come back, without loosing the competitive edge. Jimmy and Lisa have become not just friends, but family also and really create an environment where you feel celebrated. I can't say enough about this school! Them and the professors (especially Eman), as well as their sons who also trains here, offer a wealth of knowledge and professionalism, and encouragement, for all levels of training. All of those reason along with no pressure of having a monthly contract, being able to experience the first week for free, and many hours a weeks available to train, and creating a very kid/family friendly environment, makes this school pull away from all other competing gyms and training schools. I'm grateful to have a workout place that I don't mind going to with the family, and actually enjoy it.i never thought I would say the. I could go on and on, but I'm sure y'all get the gist.

I've trained at a number of gyms over the years, and one thing that really stands out at Capitão is the amount of high-level experience on the mats. I've never trained anywhere with this many black belts consistently in the room, and it makes a huge difference. The 5 a.m. classes are also a big plus and make it much easier to stay consistent with training around a busy schedule. The gym has a great balance of hard training, good instruction, and a friendly team environment. I'd absolutely recommend Capitão to anyone in the area looking for a solid jiu jitsu/ mma gym.

He seems like a chill guy who has a solid connection with his real students. Mats had a few dust bunnies and hairballs but were fairly clean besides that.

If you can get past that I think you'll have find a good home at this place. Prices seemed fair for what you got. Solid gym.

With even challenging behavior from young ones, he knows what to say to get them on track quickly, it is amazing to watch him and his family (his children are following in his footsteps, and amazing also). This is a true family martial arts studio, and like a family diner, you get the product straight from the source, not from some corporate board or national group. It is the way martial arts should be taught! If you want your kiddos to get a good sense of discipline, commitment, and the rewards that come from hard work, or if mom and dad want a great workout with some of the areas most friendly martial artists, go now! My only complaint is that I did not get my kids in earlier, the Mathis' have been an inspiration to them! Our family is honored to train at Mathis Martial Arts!
