"Great instruction from Coach Edwin. His background in exercise and his BJJ lineage is as legit as they come. Laid back environment but serious jiu jitsu. Oss!!"

"The gym is really grassroots. It's a super relaxed atmosphere with a great coach in Edwin. Not a lot of formality, as in no need to bow getting on the mat and Edwin doesn't go by Professor or anything. Great group of people as well, as everyone is friendly. Edwin explains technique in great detail -- he has an eye for common little mistakes in jitz like guard retention and grip fighting. His drills emphasizes correcting those mistakes and they make sense as a holistic lesson, rather than speed running a bunch of random techniques. He also emphasizes safety and cleanliness, which I appreciate."

"Coach Edwin is my first jiu jitsu coach and I could not have asked for a better one! He is super chill and very kind but when it’s time for jiu jitsu he’s completely locked in which I really appreciate as a coach. He teaches jiu jitsu in a way that makes sense and isn’t confusing. I only go to jiu jitsu about twice a week and I feel like I’m learning a lot and gaining much knowledge under coach Edwin. 10/10."

"Coach Edwin is a great bjj coach, he has a way of teaching that makes it very easy to understand the complex movements of jiu-jitsu, he not only teaches a technique but also teaches why each technique works and flows into another. He is very patient and takes the time to go over things if students don’t understand something and is always ready to answer any questions students might have. I couldn’t recommend his classes more!"

"Been working with Edwin from the start of my BJJ journey and it’s been a great experience. It’s been 8 months and Edwin’s knowledge is on a different level. It helps that he has a masters in motor control, so his class is structured to really help you learn and ingrain the movements. He pays attention to details from the warm up, drill time, to the physics of why one technique works better than another. Highly recommend for all levels, but especially for beginners looking for fundamentals."
