I trained at two other gyms and used to travel to 26 states for work and would "Drop In" various gyms to get some mat time and see what other places are like. Shawn is the owner of the Hillsboro location and he has legitimate teaching skills. He has a unique way of detailing drills and coaching that makes you want to learn and makes complete sense. If you train Jiu Jitsu, you know what I mean. Not to mention, this gym wins a lot of competitions and has everyone from just about every profession, culture, age and size. It's great for anyone and the people are great! My wife and kids train too and they really like it. Wish I started here from the beginning. If you train BJJ or want to, I'd highly recommend calling the main number and asking to drop in. You'll be thoroughly impressed. FYI: They also do a great job with keeping you conditioned and safe during Covid. Lots of practice dummies. read more

We love CTA Hillsboro. My girls have been attending for several years now, and they continue to learn and grow. The coaches are fantastic. Jiu Jitsu is a great way to teach your kids self-defense, confidence, and sportsmanship. read more

By far one of the best gyms around!! Family atmosphere. They offer early morning classes 3 times a week which is perfect for people like me who can only train in the early mornings. Phenomenal kids program which my 7 year old is in, where they not only train kids how to protect themselves, but teach respect, confidence, and discipline. My son just recently began competing in tournaments and no matter how many kids, no matter how many tournaments going on CTA will always have their coaches right by the student's​ side coaching them up. And as a parent who is not a Jiu-Jitsu​ expert, that means the world to me. The gym​ is always super clean,well-organized​ facility with changing rooms, storage cubbies, seating for parents, a little fight shop to buy merchandise, and a lounge area offering water and Gatorade. CTA has become our second family and a brotherhood only elite gyms can offer. read more

I am working in the area and trying to make a bit of a BJJ comeback - so no excuses! I packed my gi and showed up a few minutes early to see if I could drop in. I was immediately greeted and given the 10 second tour. 30 minutes later I was training. Great instruction - friendly (but serious) members. No egos to worry about either! Thanks guys!!! read more

Had the pleasure of training at this jiu-jitsu gym during my little vacation. Shawn, Josh, and the Hillsboro team were very welcoming. If you are a female and are looking for place to train this is the place to do it! The people and the vibe was great. I honestly wish I had more time to train during my stay. Will definitely be back! read more

Excellent team atmosphere, superb coaching and intense training when you want it. Can't say enough good things about this place! My second home. read more

CTA is the real deal. Shawn is amazing. Breaks everything down great if you're just starting jui jitsu and he challenges you if you've been training a while. All stand up guys. Great environment to train. read more

This training facility is top notch! Shawn And Virgil are great instructors for adults and kids. I signed up for boxing last August and look forward to every class. My six year old daughter has also joined boxing and loves the class. If you're looking for a great workout while learning the fundamentals of boxing/jiu jitsu I recommend joining. They have morning and evening classes with Sunday classes available also. read more

Great owner and atmosphere! Everyone is super friendly and inviting. The coaches really go above and beyond for their students.

I've only been to a few martial arts gyms that had the right environment without the business sales tactics. Gyms with belt fees, contracts, and association fees are all too common these days. Definitely red flags for me. Both children & adult classes have healthy amounts of enrolled students. As an adult student, I've found that many gyms struggle to keep students in my age demographic. At other gyms, I quickly become annoyed at having to attend mixed children's classes with limited supervision or giant gyms where the ratio of was 40 students to 1 instructor. Training is efficient and competition worthy as their association is the real deal and the focus is apparent. Super friendly & supportive environment focussed on technique and training. read more

Both me and my elementary age daughters train here and I'm very impressed with Shawn, Ka'ohu, Mike, Tillman, Ben and all the instructors. They have a passion for Jiu-Jitsu and helping students improve in a non-intimidating environment. CTA is a welcoming, family friendly gym with great classes for all age and skill levels, so If you're considering training yourself or want to get your kids into an activity stop by and give it a try. read more

Great place to train martial arts. You have the balance between great technical jiu jitsu guys balanced with a great family environment. Great place for anyone who wants to learn martial arts for themselves or their kids or for those who compete. 5 stars read more

My boys who are 10 and 11 years old love attending jiu jitsu classes at CTA Hillsboro. The gym is very friendly and inviting. Coach's Shawn, Aaron, Ka'ohu and Mike are amazing. Their passion for the sport and dedication to their students has inspired my little guys to give 110% at all times. It still amazes me that the boys have only been practicing jiu jitsu for 8 months. From the training received at CTA, the boys are confident when attending competitions and have great sportsmanship not just with their teammates but with other competitors. read more
