My daughter has been training competitive jiu jitsu for 6 years now; she's currently 11 years old. We both started training together though, admittedly my daughter has been much more consistent over that period. However, I have recently been training much more frequently in the past two years. When we moved down to South Jersey (from Bergen to Gloucester County) three years ago it took a while for us to find a high level training facility to which our daughter was accustom. She also wanted to start training stand up and MMA. We eventually found Quintella and we could not be happier! Sensei Alex Quintella is highly committed to his program, he teaches many of the classes, including many of the kids classes, both Muay Thai and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. I personally started training again in the parent oriented fundamentals classes but eventually started taking the more advanced classes as well, and finally competed in a couple tournaments myself. I owe those experiences to Sensei Alex and the other professors at Quintella that have motivated me and instructed me along the way. I can't provide enough encomiums to express my gratitude to everyone that instructs classes at Quintella- it's just a great place to train and learn! My daughter has continued to progress immensely in Jiu Jitsu and is doing exceptionally well in Muay Thai. I have also recently joined up my youngest daughter as well (she is 4!) and she loves it! I can't stress it enough how the art itself builds up confidence in your children and as a practical matter teaches them how to defend themselves if necessary. Sensei Alex and his truly exceptional group of professors do a wonderful job. Finally in closing, the facility itself is always clean! There are showers in the women's and men's locker rooms. I highly suggest you come check it out!! It's my home away from home. read more

My family has been training at Quintella MMA for several years now and it has truly changed our lives. Not only have we learned valuable stills in muay thai and jiu jitsu we have become part of the Quintella family. After meeting Sensei Alex for the first time I knew I not only entered the right academy but met the man who was going to help my son, My 5 year old at the time was extremely shy, lacked self confidence and in my opinion was susceptible to being bullied. He assured me that he would teach my son how to fight and that we would be part of his family. He has lived up to his word. Here we are almost 4 years later and my son has been transformed into a little fighter despite still being sweet and quiet. My second son has been training jiu jitsu for a few months now and again I am witnessing this awesome transformation in his skills and self confidence. If you are looking for a family oriented environment where you can train with a great group of people than Quintella is for you. read more

There is not enough good things I can say about this place and this man. He's a true family man and has unconditional attention to detail. He is patient yet firm. Fun yet serious. He involves himself in every aspect. Has patience. When my son ( was 5 ) first started going there he was a shy, timid, non competitive, not excited about sports little boy. Today he's a totally different kid. He's never lost his kindness and his huge heart because Sensai does not teach that to the children. He just shows them how to be the best version of themselves and how to know how to act and what to do in unwelcomed life situations. This is a class act, a clean gym, and fierce fighting machine as a teacher with a heart of a gold. My son loves him. And all the kids respect this man. I only wish my son listened to me at home the way he listens to this man in class. Will never go anywhere else. Quintella for life. read more

I recently attended a BJJ women's self defense seminar at Quintella MMA. Alex, the owner, is obviously very passionate and knowledgeable about Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. The seminar was very hands on, giving students plenty of practice utilizing newly learned skills. The skills we learned were very practical. The training area was very clean and well kept, the mats were very comfortable. Some of the attendees of the seminar were female students who practice BJJ at Quintella, and they were very well versed in BJJ techniques, obviously taught well. In addition to men and women training Jiu Jitsu and Muay Thai, children's classes are also taught multiple times per week. I will definitely return for the next seminar they offer, and I am interested in having my female children attend here, as BJJ is a great skill for females to have to protect themselves. read more

The atmosphere and trainers here at Quintella in Folsom are amazing. I (my 2 children) are new to MMA and we were welcomed with open arms. Alex gave us the opportunity to watch/train for a week at no charge. Both of my kids, age 4 and 12, felt comfortable and wanted to join the program. My daughter now trains 3 days a week in Muay Thai and the same for my son with jujitsu. We are now 8 weeks in and learning so much each class. The trainers have tons of patience with the younger kids as they are easily distracted. We attended a local competition to watch our new friends compete. We were proud to see so many students of Quintella at all levels rank among the best. I highly recommend this MMA school based on cost, the wealth of knowledge provided, and the resources to grow in the sport. 10 out of 10! read more

I contacted Alex Quintella by email about getting my 14 yr. old son some training for self defense. He told me to bring him in for a free week of classes, after the first night of Jiu-Jitsu,and Mauy Thia we sat down and talked about what was the best thing for my son since he never had any kind of training in self defense. He recommended to do Mauy Thia to get some skills before he tries Jiu-Jitsu. After watching Alex work with my son for two nights we decided this was a good fit for him. I also watched Alex teach a couple of class while I was there it felt like one big family. I would totally recommend Quintella academy if you're thinking about doing some self defense training. Give him a call you won't be disappointed. Joe from N. Wilmington Delaware read more

I am fairly new to Quintella and to Mma. In the short time I've been training here, I've learned a lot. Everyone in this gym is very welcoming, supportive and helpful. Every instructor I've trained with has been great. I haven't experienced one bad ego or attitude. I believe it's due to Sensei Alex's great character and the way he leads by example. Not only in training but in life. I love watching how he teaches and interacts with the children. I am looking forward to bringing my son here when he's old enough. It's definitely a family oriented environment. Highly recommended!! read more

I have been to BJJ/MMA academies across the country, from CA to DE and have yet to find someone who know more about fighting than Alex. His understanding of brazilian jiu jitsu, muay thai and mma and what it takes to become a fighter is second to none. Alex also understands the psychological demands of fighting at the highest level but is able to adapt his teaching style to all levels and ages. JS, bjj purple belt read more

We tried a couple other local academies before going to Quintella and hands down Alex runs the best program around. My son loves it. He has been training at Quintella for 2 years. The change in him is remarkable. Alex and Matt are awesome with the kids. We love our MMA family read more
