“I’ve been training under Jason for about two years, and as someone new to Jiu Jitsu, I truly appreciate how welcoming and supportive his approach has been. He strongly promotes cross-training, which has helped me develop a more well-rounded game and grow without limitations. His guidance has been a major part of my journey and progress.”

“Better gym than others. Great community and nice people.”

“My son broke out of his shell, lead by Jason, special thanks to Amy and Jasper for the extra care!”

“I started my Jiu Jitsu journey with Jason at the old IJJ Pucks Alley location with the sunrise samurai. I was nervous walking into that first class and immediately he made me feel welcome. He built my confidence up and taught me to love Jiu Jitsu. I’m forever grateful to him.”

“I have trained under Jason for a good bit now and his teaching style is right up my alley. He answers questions honestly. A big plus for me is that when rolling with him, he lets you work. He wants to see what you know/remember. 10/10 would definitely recommend.”

“When I first went to Jason’s class, I had NEVER done any kind of self defense class/fighting/martial arts, and yet Jason still made me feel right at home the first time I walked in there. His patience, energy, and love he pours into this sport and to his community is contagious. He has taught me in competition when I was scared of others that wanted to fight, that he didn’t raise us to be fighters and to be rowled up by fights, but to focus on our technique and to be technicians. And that I will take with me for the rest of my life.”

"I’ve had the pleasure of knowing Professor Jason for nearly 10 years, and in that time, I’ve learned a great deal from him. I truly appreciate his teaching style and his thoughtful approach to sharing technique. Above all, the most valuable quality I can attribute to Professor Jason is his ability to create a safe and welcoming environment for Jiu Jitsu practitioners of all ages, sizes, and genders. His inclusive and respectful atmosphere makes training both enjoyable and accessible to everyone.”

“Professor Jason is great with kids. Structured, fun, disciplined, patient, and knowledgable. The coaches were equally as amazing. My daughters showed so much growth and gained confidence during their time with Jason and his team. We are definitely interested in starting up again.”

“Simply in support of professor Jason Aquino , the first black belt to make me feel welcome on the island. A kind soul.”

“The very first time I walked into the space with Professor Jason, I remember being greeted with big smiles and a warm send of feeling welcome. It felt more like a fun hangout rather than a snake pit which other gyms can sometimes feel like. Didn’t let that fool me though, the level of knowledge and focused practice of jiu jitsu I found with Jason and those around him was still world class, and quickly learned that I’d found a place that combined the high level of jiujitsu practitioners as well as a respectful, warm, and fun environment to learn in. Good vibes all around with these guys.”
