Customer Testimonials
Training at Ortiz has been fantastic for my little boy. His sense of agency, self respect & respect for his coaches has evolved immensely during such formative & impressionable years. It’s a fantastic, safe place for physical expression, and the teachers have given him the confidence, courage and tools to defend himself.
“Highly recommend Ortiz Martial Arts Academy. My son has been training there for 6 years, and the instructors are very professional – they are mentors as well as trainers. My son’s fitness, skill set and confidence has grown over the years. If you are looking for a gym that offers high level Jiu jitsu in a safe environment this is the place to come!”
