Tama Jiu-Jitsu in San Diego, California

“I had an amazing experience at Tama Jiu Jitsu with this group of incredible women. Iu2019ve trained in jiu jitsu on and off for bit, but like many, life and work sometimes get in the way. I was invited to join their all-womenu2019s class, and Iu2019m so glad I said yes. From the moment I walked in, the environment was welcoming and supportive. The women truly push each other to grow, build confidence, and step into their power. ”

“I started training in February of this year and Tama Jiu-Jitsu has become a space where I feel the most expressive. Johnny is a not just a world-class athlete, but also a world-class professor and coach. He truly cares about each student and has created a genuine, friendly community that cannot be not found in every gym.

“I have been training at Tama Jiu-Jitsu for almost a year, and it has been a great experience. The coach challenges us to learn everything from basic to high-level techniques in a way that is clear and easy to understand. As a woman, I feel very safe and comfortable training here, even though jiu-jitsu is a male-dominated sport. This school provides a supportive and respectful environment for everyone.”
