The best investment I've ever made for my family and myself. In addition, the friendships that are formed make a difference.

Professor Santoro and his wife Syangy are awesome coaches and all around incredible people. They are very patient and care deeply about each and every one of their students. This gym is great for all levels and ages of BJJ players, from kids to adults and beginners to very advanced. Professor Santoro enjoys the art of teaching BJJ and is a multiple time world champion. If you're wanting to explore BJJ, learn self defense, elevate your BJJ game, or just meet new people and practice healthy habits - you need to join this gym. All of the members are very friendly and caring. I've been training here for a year and a half and absolutely love the place, Professor Santoro, Syangy, and the entire ESJJ family! See you on the mat. :)

Love this gym. Instructors are very patient with the kids. My child has been practicing for just under a year, and he’s learned so much and gained a lot of confidence. He enjoys every class.

Sayang and Eduardo are fantastic and patient professors for both kids and adults. We moved both kids to this studio from another studio after they tried out the classes a few times. Such a joy watching my 5 year old arm bar another kid :)

This place is so clean and so friendly! They make you feel welcome no matter what your skill level is. Eduardo is very skilled and knowledgable and Syang's women's class is the best! I feel more confident as a women with the self-defense I have learned here. I strongly recommend joining!
