loved by parents + teachers + kids

  • I love how Jiu Jitsu teaches kids self confidence, discipline, creativity and respect. We are grateful to part of the grounded community which has taught us not only how to defend ourselves but how to express the gentle art of jiu jitsu.

  • Lauro & Kory have created a true community that connects me to my family to our local community in ways I could not have imagined.

  • St Margarets have been working with AOG for 8 years. Under Lauro and Kory each student builds in confidence, mindfulness, humility and learns there is no obstacle that can’t be overcome when applying their teachings. It has been a corner stone of our program that has greatly contributed to our success. Thank you AOG

  • This is a great school with nice, positive vibe. My daughter has been learning jiu jitsu for the past 2 years and now she is stronger, physically and mentally. She has recently joined the Yoga classes and is in love with her community and teacher. All the teachers are professional and yet caring! Thanks to all the teachers :)
