I couldn't say enough good things about Cortez Martial Arts. It's the place to go for all your Self Defense, staying fit, and martial arts needs. Cortez Martial Arts is not only an amazing place to learn Jiu Jitsu and SELF DEFENSE, (Because a LOT of Jiu Jitsu schools don't even touch self defense) but it's also an amazing place to learn life lessons, comradery, humbleness, and respect for yourself and others. As soon as I heard Sensei Jason say that Cortez Martial Arts is here to build confidence, character, and change lives, I knew I'd found my school. This school is for ALL ages, and not only teaches Jiu Jitsu, but other forms of Martial Arts. AND, it's TOP NOTCH teaching. I always come out a better person with each training session. There is nothing like going to a session and leaving a brand new and improved person and at Cortez Martial Arts and Charles Gracie Jiu Jitsu is the place to do that, specifically under Sensei Jason. Every
Full Circle Martial Arts Academy is a good academy. Sensei Jason is a legit Black Belt in BJJ and knows his stuff. With his knowledge of Kosho-Ryu he has an interesting spin on a lot of BJJ techniques that makes it his own. He had taught me a lot about mat etiquette from a students perspective to the teachers perspective. A lot of my expectations for my students come from his influence and my time at Cortez Full Circle Martial Arts Academy. Coach Eric has been around martial arts since forever with his father being a master of the arts himself. Coach Eric does a great job on the Muay Thai side of things and has been around the Muay Thai scene back when Master Toddy had a gym in Vegas. There is no doubt you will learn something new or improve in your Martial Arts journey if you join. Jason Sensei, Larry Sensei, Coach Eric and Miss Lillie are great people and been in the business for a very long time. If you want a place where you will le
Cortez Martial Arts is one of the best traditional kenpo school anyone can enroll in. We had our 2 sons enrolled with the Cortez family since 2007 and till this day, MJ and Marc talks about how kenpo has had a huge impact on their individual lives. Today they are both well disciplined instructors with 1st degree black belts who guide their fellow students in the path of achieving their own black belts. The head owners Sensei Jason and Lillie Cortez stand strong for keeping the arts alive. Our kids have gone through numerous tournaments and experienced many challenges in their time training in the dojo. Sensei Jason and his staff keep the environment a family friendly yet highly competitive ambiance. A great place for a child to grow. Wethank the Cortez family for supporting my children throughout their time with them and for providing them with the wisdom and strength that comes with the Kenpo style under the Mitose Kosho Ryu system. I
This is a great academy and state of the art facility. You will find everything you need here and nothing you do not. They have an excellent kids program, with talented instructors. This place changed my life and I highly recommend it. No matter what your fitness level, come in and try a class, you will be very impressed. It has been the greatest gift I ever gave to myself and has made a positive impact on everyone in my life. Please do not hesitate or tell yourself when I get in shape, then. You have everything to gain and zero to lose. I am in my late 40's and in the best shape of my life, but I did not start out that way. Every week I got a little better, and a little stronger. Thank you Cortez Martial Arts and the Charles Gracie Team.
I signed up with my niece at the end of November 2021, three months ago. We go to the adult Muay Thai classes 5 days a week, and love it. I joined to support my niece and to get into shape, but I really enjoy it and have really noticed positive changes. I have lost 20 lbs and am still loosing weight (235-215) and no longer take medication on the daily for heartburn. I went to the doctor yesterday and she asked what I had changed because all my numbers were outstanding and was closer to a healthy weight (less fat.) The warm up exercises in the beginning are rough, but accommodations are made for those who can’t do the full thing. The instruction and motivation given from Coach Cliff and the other instructors is top notch. All the students are respectful, but still have fun. TLDR: I was old and fat, I am now old and less fat, and have enjoyed the process of getting healthy. Learning the sport for me is a vinous, but I do feel confident I
I can’t recommend Cortez Full Martial Arts highly enough! The instructors are incredibly skilled, patient, and truly passionate about teaching. They create a welcoming and supportive environment that motivates students to push themselves and improve. Whether you’re a beginner or experienced, you’ll feel challenged and valued here. The classes are well-structured, and they emphasize discipline, technique, and personal growth. It’s not just about learning martial arts—it’s about building confidence and character. A fantastic place for anyone looking to train and grow. Thank you, Cortez Full Martial Arts!”
