Coach Manolo is an outstanding coach and all-round human being. He's been so great to my sons and…read morehas shown them so much about MMA and Kickboxing. I was grateful to see him corner my son at MDL. My kids love him, wife and I too! You can tell he really cares about his peeps. Get to know him and you'll be glad you made a new friend. Coach Josh is an extremely knowledgeable boxing coach and exceedingly patient. My kids' striking has improved so much since training with him. Thanks for letting my boys train with you and your students. Coach Nate is a seasoned wrestler and wrestling coach. He does a great job of clearly communicating and demonstrating techniques and the purpose/intent behind each skill. Coach Monsa is great at supporting and encouraging folks new to Judo. I would not want to be hip-tossed by him, but he's too nice of a guy to do that to me lol Coach Boogey is obviously passionate about jujitsu and coaching his members - and it shows. Coach Chris, Coach Jacob, and Coach Jasmine are super friendly and kind to all the kids. My kids also love taking Strength and Conditioning with Coach Matt and the other coach (I can't remember her name right now for some reason and apologize for the early-onset dementia).

It's been a little over a year since I have started training here. And it has been of one the BEST…read moredecisions that I have ever made for myself. For context, I had taken a few years off from training after my previous Muay Thai instructor had passed away in a tragic accident. I had trained under him for several years before that happened, and so for me, for several years, I never truly felt that "click into place" feeling with any other KB or Muay Thai instructor. As soon as I joined this gym, I Immediately felt like family. This gym has become my saving grace, my family and my new home. Almost immediately, with Manolo specifically, I had that "click into place" feeling after taking his class. Im a little shy, but he made me feel welcome with his big personality and his even bigger sense of humor. Laughter brings out the best in people, and Manolo, makes everyone laugh. You can tell by the way he coaches, that he coaches through experience: both very technical and pragmatic. You can also tell that he is amazing at what he does, by looking at the champions he has brought from the ground up. In my experience, he reads the room really well, and coaches/pushes each of us accordingly, and that's why anyone with any level of experience leaves his class feeling great. outside of coaching, Manolo was one of the few people to really be there when I was at rock bottom. He helped me to believe in myself again and to get back up. There are several champions and very high level athletes that come in and out of there on the daily, but everyone comes in humble and with no ounce of ego whatsoever. Everyone has always maintained the idea that "iron sharpens iron", and so when you come here, you will see everyone helping everyone get better in BJJ/wrestling/boxing/Muay Thai/strength and conditioning. I can't emphasize this enough, when you join this gym, you aren't just a member, you become family. you feel that with all of the members and ALL of the coaches here. I am forever grateful and deeply loyal to this family now. Once a freak, always a freak.

Yes you will be sore and tired but Fabio is Great. You should come by and take a look and decide for your self. Old school in the new age. Another thing that you might like to know. There are many people that come to train here for a day or two. Many schools out there have a blue belt teaching or purple or brown. Here you always have Fabio. Plus I have seen as many as 8 Black belts train in regular classes. This is by far the best value for your dollar! Most Black belts charge up to 200 per hour to just train with them. Some times in class you can roll with three or four. We also have the best kids training program around. Alex just won the worlds in no GI. How cool is that. Your child will be taught by the best!

As a beginner, I really appreciate how my training partners and coaches take the time to guide me, explain things clearly, and make sure I understand always in a way that feels encouraging and uplifting. You can tell there's a strong sense of community and care in this gym, and it makes such a difference. If you're thinking about joining and you're new, I highly recommend North Park Jiu Jitsu.

Its a super friendly, chill training environment, where everyone is there to learn. Coach Mike was very welcoming when I arrived for no-gi and gi classes. There are classes where you drill specific moves, then have a chance to apply them in a safe, live setting. Then there are classes that take a more eco approach, with situation specifics, tasks, live problem solving with questions from practitioners and direct, tailored feedback from the coach. If you're new and looking to get into the art, a hobbyist looking for a more chill vibe, or a competitor wanting to test yourself and get out on the comp mats later, this is the place for you.

We've had such an awesome experience. Professor Carlos, Mark, and Matteo are super passionate about BJJ and are always so patient and helpful. They break things down in a way that makes it easy to learn, no matter your experience level. What I really love about Five Peaks is how welcoming and supportive everyone is. I was a complete beginner when I started, along with my youngest daughter, while my two older daughters had some experience. No matter where you are on your journey, you feel right at home here. The classes are a great balance of challenging and fun, and you really get a good workout while learning solid BJJ skills. The family vibe is also what makes this place special. My two youngest kids absolutely love the kids' classes, and it's been amazing to watch them build confidence and discipline. The professors do a great job keeping things fun while making sure each kid gets the attention they need. Five Peaks has definitely become like a second home for us. If you're looking for a place with top-notch training and a great family atmosphere, this is it!
