Testimonials
I can’t say enough good things about Matakas Jiu Jitsu! From the moment you walk in, you’re welcomed like family. The atmosphere is incredibly supportive and respectful, making it an ideal place for beginners and experienced practitioners alike. Professor Chris is not only a phenomenal instructor with deep knowledge of Jiu Jitsu, but also an inspiring mentor who genuinely cares about his students’ growth—both on and off the mats.
Sam L.
I can’t say enough amazing comments about Matakas Jiu-Jitsu. My boys have been attending classes for 2 years now and the patience the professor and coaches have it’s truly heart warming. Especially with my little guy in the tikes class who really requires discipline. Coaches take the time to develop focus. And for my big guy who is in the youth class, they take there time to perfect their skills which helped my son develop confidence, persistence, and determination.
