We have my daughter enrolled and it is a great school! The coaches are so amazing and patience. My daughter has gotten so much more confident. If you’re looking for a place to go for self defense/ Jiu jitsu 925 is the way to go!

I recently started my Jiu Jitsu journey only 3 months in so far. I can't say enough goods things about this place and the coach Erico! I was very skeptical about starting jiu jitsu and didn't wanna go to the wrong place and just not learn and get injured or thrown to the wolfs in rolling. Erico is very thorough and precise in his teachings. Very welcoming from him and all the other guys who go! Been nothing but an awesome experience! Anyone interested in giving it a go or on the fence definitely give this place a try first!

Erico has fostered an environment in which both children and adults have the opportunity to enhance their self-confidence, build tenacity, and gain positive relationships. The depth of knowledge and passion he brings to his coaching style gives a clear map of the techniques and philosophy of Jiu Jitsu. The members of the Six Blades Academy are welcoming, helpful, and buoyant. The mentality and skills I have learned through Erico have not only helped me to advance in my Jiu Jitsu but also create peace and calmness in my professional and personal life. I am better able to approach problems/challenges with a clear frame of mind. This Academy has been the best experience I have ever had while training Jiu Jitsu.

Our family loves the 925 Jiu-Jitsu & Six Blades Jiu-jitsu family. The entire crew - from head coach, Erico, to the Ninja Tods - is filled with outstanding human beings. Everyone is welcoming, encouraging and supportive. I've never seen a team this united and selfless since my military days.Their schedule is optimal for this full-time working mom, allowing ample time to get my kids to training and then later, be able to jump into the adult classes. On some days, I'm able to train in their amazing state-of-the-art gym before adult class and I'm loving it!It's a super fun and safe environment for the entire family. All coaches (jiu-jitsu, boxing, Muay Thai and personal trainers) are incredible. They'll invite you to jump into classes and/or support you if you choose to get on the rower or bike instead. All fun and laughs the entire time.Lastly, and one very important call-out is that Head Coach teaches all of the kids classes. How special for the kids to receive training for our head instructor. I can't say enough about how my daughter's confidence has soared under his leadership. This is so important and especially in today's world.Highly recommend, you won't be disappointed.

Coach Erico and studio 925 have been the best decision we have made for our children to learn the martial arts, specifically Jui-Jitsu. Coach Erico takes a very thoughtful approach to kids of all ages. My daughter (5 turnings 6) is in the 4-6 class, and my son (9 turning 10) is in the 7-13-year-old class; we transferred from 10th planet and will never look back. Coach Erico continuously assesses the kids, reverse engineers his approach by putting them in positions where they learn through action, and is consistent each class in the fundamentals he teaches.

After almost two COVIDY years of limited physical activity due to no real physical education being taught in the schools, park closures and ‘distance learning’ we had been searching for a healthy outlet for the boys. We started the boys with Erico at 925 Jiujitsu in November and we cannot be more pleased. Erico is an exceptional coach and mentor, the boys look up to him and want to make him proud. Erico provides them with discipline and structured learning that applies both inside the gym and outside; life lessons in manners, discipline, grit, effort, respect, and self-defense. Erico is not only building some great worriers on the mat but also in life. Our younger son Jackson really struggles with his self-confidence and sometimes holds back his real effort, Erico sees this and uses is incredible coaching skills to push Jackson. It is so rewarding to see Jackson’s face when he has realized he CAN do this. Our older son Sebastian has been training with Erico 5 days a week, and the few occasions we were not able to make it he was very disappointed. Our 11-year-old loves this training and this school so much he wants to be there EVERYDAY, and not every day is easy. I LOVE That. What better gift in todays crazy world can you give your child than the ability to protect themselves? Known as the gentle art you are not promoting striking or hitting but rather teaching them to be able to submit their aggressor, this is why Jiujitsu was excellent option for us.After watching the boys have all the fun for 3 months, I decided that this is a skill that will only improve my fitness, strength and my ability to protect myself. I took my first class on Monday; I can see why Sebastian is so hooked!! My husband and I both joined as well and are very excited to train as a family with Erico for many years to come. Thank you Erico!

Probably the Best style of BJJ around. I drive 1hr from Sacramento just to train with Erico's classes. The facility brand new and It is well equipped for strength & conditioning or crossfit style training. The atmosphere is very welcoming and a solid group of students. Thanks for having me!

Best jiu jitsu gym in the East bday. Erico is one of the most knowledgeable jiu jitsu instructors I have ever learned from. His ability to teach both sport jiu jitsu and self defense is unmatched. He’s very good with the kids and is already starting to breed champions

I am new to Jiu-Jitsu, but before I joined Erico's team I checked out other places and they just don't seem principally based from all my research this is the place for fundamentals. I know its going to take time to get my black belt but I know I will deserve it when I receive it.

925 Jiu-Jitsu Club is an amazing Jiu-Jitsu school. The head instructor, Erico, is very articulate and well spoken when teaching Jiu-Jitsu. The way Erico explains techniques are broke down and pieced back to together for a clear understanding what to do, and how to do it, correctly.The atmosphere here is extremely positive, the team members are very helpful and (to me) it feels like a family. Im very happy and fortunate to be apart of this Club.If you're interested, free class is complimentary! Hope to see you on the mat!
