writing another review. i got into an altercation with a grown man recently (tonight, the same night as my second ever class) im also 17 years old. he came up and pushed me and instigated the entire thing. i then proceeded to dig deep and use absolutely everything ive learned from professor Rodarte in the very few classes i’ve taken with him and if it wasn’t for his teaching and technique building i wouldn’t have walked away from that fight as unscathed as i did. i’m beyond grateful and will 100% be returning frequently

I always learn a lot with Professor Leo. He’s very patient and explains things well and make sure everyone understands what we’re working on. As a beginner, that’s extremely helpful.

I’ve been in Coach Leo’s JiuJitsu classes for more than a year. Prior to that with Coach Jason. Can’t say enough good things about these coaches and this gym. Knowledge, respect, community/brotherhood, support of the coaches and training partners just to name a few positive attributes. I have also done private lessons with the coaches. Each engagement has been top notch and catered to individual development needs. When you train here at Peaceful Warrior you’re a part of something bigger. It’s hard to explain. But if you let yourself into the fabric of this gym, it helps you enhance your life both physically and mentally. It’s about the people and the extra steps they take for you and others. I started training here about 8 years ago. Jiujitsu, 2.5 years ago. I’m 64 years old—my plan is to be here for many years to come.

Best gym hands down. Ran phenomenally! The owners, staff and other students make up an amazing community. Professor Rodarte is a true professional and great at instructing. I love this gym and im not leaving! The environment it has created has made me into a quick learner and fall in love with the process!

The environment is super welcoming, everyone on the mats brings good energy, and you can tell there’s a real passion for the art. Coach White brings high-level skill, but even more importantly, he’s an incredible teacher. You’ll leave every class feeling stronger, smarter, and more confident in your game

Professor C, Jim, taught me the basics, the meat and potatoes he says!! Very simple understanding of guard and where I want my body, hip control, space control and arm control, of myself and my opponent, pushing but finding space to be methodical always while tightening on the opponent. Three different front chokes, an arm bar, and a rear choke, with the whole process and psychology as well as knowing when and what to look for and when to know when you’re most lethal and when to move for the kill/break/tap and what that looks like, even to the minute details of how even turning the opponents wrist disengages them that much more and each little detail counts and adds up. This is my first time ever doing jiu jitsu and I feel like I’m gunna get my butt kicked a lot but learn a lot and kick some butt along the way too haha, hopefully to the point of being able to know this backwards and forwards and be able to play all kinds of chess with it with greater and greater skill, engagement and confidence! Looking forward to it! And looking forward to my fiance learning later tonight and our kiddo when she gets older!

Professor Rodarte is an exceptional Jiu Jitsu instructor who creates a positive, challenging, and respectful training environment. His clear instruction, deep knowledge, and ability to adapt to all levels have greatly improved my skills and confidence. I highly recommend him to anyone looking to grow in Jiu Jitsu.

I had a great time I learned a lot. If the technique wasn’t understood professor rodarte took the time to ensure everyone understood and explained into detail.

PWJJ has so many great teachers and Leo is leading the pack. I love that he works through a linear curriculum that goes week-by-week. He doesn't teach random techniques, he teaches concepts and chains them together as pathways so we can retain the information and use them in live rolls. I can't say enough about his teaching style. He is a true master and we are so privileged to have him!
