From the Mats
Real Students. Real Progress.
"No Gi sessions are fast, technical and brutal in the best way. You will not find better pressure training anywhere on the island. Highly recommend."
Tomas VillanuevaNo Gi
"I was nervous to try BJJ at 40. Coach Ray made it accessible, safe and genuinely fun. I'm in the best shape of my life and the community is incredible."
Liza MercadoGi
"The attention to detail is unreal. I've trained at academies in Manila and nothing compares to what Coach Ray brings to Palawan. The mats are clean, the vibe is electric."
Sarah FernandezGi
"My kid was shy and unconfident. Six months later he's a different child — focused, respectful, and proud of himself. This academy changed our family."
Jun ReyesKids
"From day one you're treated like family. Open mat is the highlight of my week — great rolls, great people, great coaching. Come try it."

"I walked in with zero experience and felt at home immediately. Coach Ray breaks everything down so anyone can understand it. Best decision I've made in years."
