We have been taking our daughter, now 7, to Motive for close to three years now. We love Professor Anthony, coach Cruze, and coach Gia, they really have become like family to us. Ellie has become a great jiu jitsu athlete through their teaching and support. It's a great group of kids, we are happy to be a part of the Motive family!

Coach Anthony is invested in the growth and knowledge he gives to his students. If you want your children to be taught the right way or you want to learn yourself, this is the place.

So worth it! My boys aged 6 and 9 have been taking classes here for the last few years. These are life long skills and I promised my boys that I'll pay for them to attend classes until they are at least 18! We love the coaches too, they are the best!

My son has been training here for a year and a half and absolutely loves coming! He has learned so many skills which have translated both on the mat as well as at home and in school. Disciplined and high expectations, but not intimidating — my son has such respect for Professor Anthony and all the coaches.

Professor Anthony is an amazing instructor for all ages and walks of life. My son and I have both trained under him for over a year. Coach Gia and Coach Cruz (Anthony's son and daughter) also teach classes. This whole family is amazing with children AND beginner adults. One of the best decisions I have ever made was starting my journey at Motive.

Coach Anthony is wonderful! He and Gia have so much patience for these little kids and our daughter (6 years old) has learned so much in only 5 months. I'm so glad they are here and 100% recommend them. They are building skills and toughness for life.

Motive Jiu-Jitsu changed my now 11 year old daughter's life! Less than a year into training with Professor Anthony, her personality had gone through the roof with confidence. Today my daughter continues to thrive, battle, and win Jiu-Jitsu tournaments! Professor Anthony is awesome with the kids — a great balance of fun and learning a real effective martial art you keep with you for life.

Best instructor and greatest coach ever! As a woman this place taught me so much that I can use in my daily life to feel safe when I am out. As a mother, Coach Anthony took the time to teach my son not only the basics but also self-esteem, which he has used to stand up to bullies and for his friends.

My kids have been studying with Coach Anthony for two years. There is a great methodology to the classes, using games to teach basic skills and keep the little ones engaged, progressing to 'live battles' to further demonstrate use of those skills in real-world situations.
