Hybrid Academy,

950 E Katella Ave Suite. 1, Orange, CA 92867, United States

"Hybrid Academy was awesome! They have a little something for everyone. I’m currently a brown belt in Jiu Jitsu. I’ve been a MMA, and Jiu Jitsu competitor for over 10 years and I found a lot of value in Rick’s personality and teaching style. Rick and the team are very friendly, welcoming, professional, and hard working. I really enjoyed the wrestling classes and love the wrestling/ AOJ influence in the Hybrid Jiu Jitsu style. Couldn’t ask for a better training environment. Thank you guys!"

"Very beautiful place! It’s always so clean and organized in here. The team cares for each other & their dedication is so inspiring. Rick has been very respectful and so welcoming! They also have a true boxing coach, who cares for everyone’s well being and truly takes his time to better them in their skills."

"I train as a student in Hybrid’s wrestling program and have nothing but good things to say about it. Coach Rick has decades of wrestling experience and has created an environment which allows new wrestlers to learn without getting thrown to the sharks immediately upon entering the program. Students are eased into learning the fundamentals of wrestling and once they are comfortable and have basic competency, are allowed to spar with other students of their level. In addition, there are other wrestlers there with a lot of experience who are allowed to train with one another at their level, and are even given a little bit more advanced techniques to work on. Coach Rick himself is a man of great character and moral standing and is someone anyone would want as a coach. Also, everyone else there is so helpful and supports each other in learning and getting better. You couldn’t ask for a better environment."

"I trained here for a couple years and for a very long time it was incredible. it was fun and amazing but at some point things changed and a lot of the members including people from the beginning like myself all left since we were no longer treated well at all. I personally felt so forced to stay and constantly go to every class and when I didn’t I was called out in front of everyone and was called names by the owner. For the past few months I was there the curriculum was too bland and some people were not allowed to start sparring until a few months after joining."

"Both my 6-year old son and I attend classes at Hybrid so it’s become a family affair for us. We love it! I can’t speak highly enough on the level of technical teaching that come from the coaches. They’re great with kids - a typical class teaches them discipline, techniques, and skills-based games that drill in the fundamentals. Also, the teammates and families that attend are great people. No egos. Just great vibes and respect. My main reasons for joining: 6am class for both gi and nogi, good kids program, great price, and awesome people."
