A very family friendly Enviroment. Angel is a great coach with lots of patience for me at 33 and my son at 6 who neither of us have any martial arts experience.
This place is awesome! My daughter Sadie wants to go to every class because she really enjoys it. Coach Angel and his family are very welcoming. Itโs a great place to learn self defense, have fun, and get some good advice. My baby girl has so much fun with everyone there. Thanks for giving her this opportunity! still working on those kart-wheels๐คช
We started bringing our special needs son here over six months ago. Angel and his family have been amazing with him and he has learned so much from him, his wife, and their children. I highly recommend and encourage you to bring your family here. You wonโt regret it!
Great place to train, knowledgeable coaches and overall top notch! Check them out ASAP!!
Angel and Kayla do a great job running this place. the gym is clean and the environment is great for the whole family. I have my kids enrolled, some of them need to toughen up, and some of them need to tone it down, and Angel coaches each one of them with individual care and attention that helps them all grow in the ways they need. I'm always impressed and the whole family loves it.
My girls are fairly new to the gym, but I have been highly impressed with the Santiago Family and the atmosphere at the gym. From the moment my girls arrived at the gym, all the students made sure to include them in the BJJ family.

My girls are fairly new to the gym, but I have been highly impressed with the Santiago Family and the atmosphere at the gym. From the moment my girls arrived at the gym, all the students made sure to include them in the BJJ family. The cleanliness of the gym is always top notch and the open layout provides a welcoming and comfortable environment, with plenty of seating. Training at 144BJJ doesn't end with Jiu-jitsu training, you can count on coach Angel to provide genuine love and care for your children, providing tips in life that go far beyond the mats. So if your looking for a super clean place with a top notch coah, that offers a family like atmosphere to train at, this is the place for you. Less
My girls are fairly new to the gym, but I have been highly impressed with the Santiago Family and the atmosphere at the gym. The instructor provides way more then just bjj training. The time he takes to coach them up on LIFE, the FOCUS he demands, and the overall love he expresses for the team is Amazing. I highly recommend 144BJJ!

Amazing environment, great coaching, and great gym decor.
The instructor here is exemplary. On point, as in, he takes the time to explain everything in a way that you can understand. He really strives to help you retain everything he teaches you on the mat.

The instructor here is exemplary. On point, as in, he takes the time to explain everything in a way that you can understand. He really strives to help you retain everything he teaches you on the mat. And what really stands out about him is his understanding of every student's circumstances regarding life. He understands that everyone's situation is different, and does not hold that against the student, should they miss class. As for the class itself, the atmosphere is exceptionally welcoming. Everyone here is friendly and willing to help you out if you do not understand something, i.e. a move, the way to commit the techniques, etc., and it pushes you to perform your best. The biggest takeaway from this class is it teaches you not only self defense, but the will to keep fighting and perservere through anything. Traits you can take with you in everyday life, whether thay be your education, your workplace, or anywhere else you are at. Overall, I encourage any who are interested to take the time to come check the place out. It will be worth it, I promise you. Less
Thank you coach angel
Angel is an excellent instructor. I have known him for years. If your in his area and your not training there, your missing out.
Coach Angel has been an Amazing!!! My daughter has always been so shy, and he has helped her to build self confidence and be less shy. Today she had her 1st BJJ tournament with the team, and She killed it.The team was Amazing by supporting and cheering each other on even the little ones were cheering on the adults.
The facility is impeccably clean, with thorough sanitation protocols in place, providing peace of mind for all members.

This is an amazing gym! Angel puts everything he can into the gym to make it the best experience for everyone.
Beautiful training gym, big family atmosphere, amazing coaching and friendly welcoming families & training partners/ coaches! Classes for everyone! Wrestling, bjj, women's class, homeschool class, we have something for everyone.
We are so thankful for this gym, Coach Angel and his family. My son has really learned so much and gained confidence as well. He looks forward to practice even on Saturday mornings. Professional, clean and family oriented. Highly recommend for anyone.
This has been a blessing to the community! My Husband and has been attending classes 4 days a week for a little over a month. He has lost weight and gained a love of jujitsu (I realized how cheesy that sounded as soon as I wrote it ๐, but itโs true). He goes to the 6 am class and it has really made a difference in his day, at 44 years old, heโs more energetic and focused on learning new moves. I... More
This has been a blessing to the community! My Husband and has been attending classes 4 days a week for a little over a month. He has lost weight and gained a love of jujitsu (I realized how cheesy that sounded as soon as I wrote it ๐, but itโs true). He goes to the 6 am class and it has really made a difference in his day, at 44 years old, heโs more energetic and focused on learning new moves. I only mention his age in case anyone is on the fence about attending an adult class. The owner/instructor Angel is really patient and you can tell that he loves what he does. So if youโre thinking about checking them out or kicking your significant other/kids out of the house to check them out, do it! Less
Coach Angel brings a unique perspective to BJJ. My family loves training at 144 BJJ!
I started training here with no prior experience. The way Mr. Santiago teaches breaks things down, and makes it simple and easy to learn. He has created a community of amazing students here and an environment that makes it fun and safe to learn martial arts in. I try to go there as many times a week as I can. I highly recommend it.

I personally joined to stay active and learn self defense skills. I am learning so much every week! It is really a great group of people. One of the hardest things I have ever done but love it all at the same time. Canโt say enough good words about Angel and Kayla and their beautiful family. Hope to see you on the mats! Less

Super clean gym and awesome wide opened set up. Very knowledgeable instructor who is patient with all age groups but also expects the best from each individual to further progress their skill set. Highly recommended 144 BJJ!

Coach Angel is amazing with the kids and keeps them engaged throughout the class! Not only are they learning techniques, they have a blast doing it! We were super stoked knowing 144 BJJ was opening, but weโve been blown away since our kids joined! Highly recommend 144 BJJ!
My kids love coming here and they are learning so much! Coach Angel is a great with kids! Definitely recommend 144 BJJ!
We absolutely love this place. Coach Angel is hands down the best. Always so patient and taking extra time with the kids if needed. Love that we can train as many times as we want a week.
Extremely clean, professional, inviting, and overall wonderful organization. The Santiago family are committed to bringing the highest quality martial arts experience through BJJ and Wrestling to The County and its families!! Come on out, no matter your age, gender, or experience level! And bring a friend!
