I can't say enough good things about the coaches here. Coach Gonzo and Coach Larry are the primary coaches I see with my kiddo (9) being in the older kid class. It's coach Gonzo's gym under Caio Terra. He doesn't baby the kids. He treats them with respect and teaches them the importance of discipline when motivation begins to falter. What an important thing to instill in kids, even when they might not fully understand it yet. He also is mindful to switch it up and include play based learning for the kids, things to include team building and such. One of my favorite things is the way he teaches the older or more advanced kids in the class to always take care of their teammates (being mindful of their size and skill level vs who they're sparring against) thus decreasing injury. The gym is clean, it even smells clean without smelling toxic-clean LOL. the bathrooms are clean as well and there's even a baby changing table in there. He responds to messages and he's so freakin' pleasant and knowledgeable about his craft. Even I learn a lot from him sitting on the sidelines waiting for my child to finish class. Coach Larry is also a lovely human, kind to the kids and quick to redirect and help out when they get distracted. Definitely recommend! read more

I grew up with my brother in Karate which never seemed to be functional in an actual fight. I'm a Marine and they taught us more ground fighting techniques with MCMAP (Marine Corps Martial Arts Program). I really liked how they taught us holds, choke holds, ground combat but ultimately mental, physical, and character disciplines. My son is currently 5 and small for his age.... he also is more of a pacifist than a fighter. However, he is starting to have anger/reactions and lashing out. I wanted Jiu Jitsu for the discipline but also a positive male role model(s) in his life that can model what it means to be a good man that knows when and how to defend him self. Going to the class and having Coach Gonzales's presence and his talks with the class and reassurance/correction has already made a positive impact on my son. That is first and foremost important to me. I want a coach that my son can emulate. Second with his size Brazilian Jiu Jitsu promotes the concept that a smaller, weaker person can successfully defend themselves against a stronger and bigger opponent. And I believe everyone should know how to get themselves away from an attacker and to safety. read more

We have been extremely impressed with Otomi Martial Arts. When I started my children there, they were 5yr old and 3yr old. We started them in Jiu Jitsu in hopes that they would learn new skills, confidence, focus, and respect for themselves and others. Coach Gonzo is an amazing instructor. From the moment we first walked in to his school, he was very welcoming and respectful to my children and this has never changed during our time with OMA. Everyone, coaches and students, are very respectful to others and take the time to help each other succeed. I am very impressed with the daily life lessons that Coach Gonzo takes the time to teach the children. He not only applies lessons to what they are learning in class, but to everyday situations in life. My children love their time in class and their OMA family. We couldn't be happier and would absolutely recommend Otomi Martial Arts. read more

We've been with Coach Gonzo at Otomi for going on three years now. His rapport with the kids' classes is ridiculously strong - I've seen him tell "dad" jokes and make the class laugh; in the same hour, he'll deliver blistering lectures about how he wants great things for them. He is relentless in his focus on the strength of the technique over power and how BJJ is an art that affords him the opportunity to win without hurting the opponent (or the attacker, depending on the context). He is also aware of the wide range of motivations for the students coming to class - whether exercise, self-defense, or competition - and encourages safety and care for the entire class. I have no reservations in recommending Otomi for someone looking for a welcoming environment that will always push for more. read more

Otomi is incredible! I can't believe how fortunate we are to have this place right here in Parker. Coach Gonzo has really created a welcoming atmosphere for people of all ages and levels, from those who are competing to people who just want to improve fitness and be able to defend themselves. I started taking classes a year ago and I can't believe how kind and supportive the community has been. Our family members, ages teens through fifties, all love their classes at Otomi. Through jiu jitsu, my strength has increased while my waistline has shrunk. I never thought I would enjoy my time on the mats so much, or that I would be my strongest at this stage of my life (late 40's)! So grateful for Coach Gonzo and the whole team! read more

Coach Gonzalez is amazing! He became my mentor very quickly because of his method of teaching. He keeps me motivated and pushes me to always do better. The best part is he's very careful to teach proper skills so you do not injure yourself. I have learned so much and because of his coaching of me for the last five years, I know I will stay healthy for the rest of my life. He keeps me focused and always moving forward. I highly recommend this school to learn martial arts and to become better as a whole. I promise you, you will feel very motivated all the time And love learning from him. read more

When I first moved to Colorado, I looked at various schools to train in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. When I stopped by Otomi and Mr. Gonzalez, I was so impressed with him and his teaching ability. He is patient, excellent with technique and has a positive and up-beat personality that makes learning from him fun and rewarding. He is excellent with both adults and kids! If you are looking for a martial arts school, you won't find a better one. I have trained in Jiu-Jitsu, Hapkido and Kenpo karate from various instructors and no one is as good as Mr. Gonzalez. read more

This is a great place for anyone seeking fitness,confidence,protection,self-respect,and discipline.

You get a healthy mix of both physical and mental challenges that still feels fun even as you sweat your excuses off. I love this place,the training and how I feel every time I go. read more

I would recommend this class to anyone who is interested in putting their kids Jiu Jitsu. Coach Gonzalez works very well with the children but also do not hand out belts and stripes. He teach self defense as well as life skills and principles that every child should have. He reinforces everything that we try and teach in our home. read more
