The tuition rates are cheaper than most jiu-jitsu academies, and the black belt instructor, Marcos Torregrosa is there for both the morning and evening classes teaching and walking around individual to individual to see proper technique being executed. If you are an avid competitor, Marcos will put you in the competition classes (no extra charge), and put you through drilling routines, competition sparring, and cardiovascular conditioning.

If you are looking for cutting edge new evolved Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, this is the place to be!
Even before I moved to California, I knew Marcos was THE instructor who I would want to learn Jiu Jitsu from. His accomplishments I saw during my search got me really excited to learn under a true competitor/champion who is not afraid to put his skills to the test year after year. Now that I am already training in the academy, I am at peace knowing that my decision was the right one. Marcos Torregrosa’s passion in Jiu Jitsu is evident in his teaching and how he runs the school – as well as the champions that he is able to produce! His attention to details is superb and he makes sure that none of his students perform a sloppy technique. He ensures that techniques are done correctly with the utmost detail to set a solid foundation – very important! Marcos is very approachable and always ready to answer questions and lets you know what to do next. His students are also classy in helping you feel welcome in the academy. They make sure that
Let me start by saying that when I moved to Sacramento, I tried EVERY jiu-jitsu school in the area before making my decision to where to train. There were many gyms that were all about the money and just getting you signed up on a contract as soon as possible. Further, the lessons were basic white/blue belts move with no room for new evolved progression of techniques that current champions use nowadays. That is until I found Yemaso's jiu-jitsu school. This school is the place to be if you want to learn new age jiu-jitsu. Berimbolos, leg drags, deep-half guard, they teach you all that! If you are beginner, Marcos will put you on another technique structure whereby you will progress quicker in your knowledge of the basics. Marcos will also give you a 1 month free pass to prove to you that this is the BEST gym in the Sac area. I would suggest you to try the class.
I have studied at several martial arts studios over the years. I have attained my 1st degree black belts in both Tae Kwon Do and Hap Ki Do. Jiu-jitsu is an entirely different animal and I wanted to see what it was like... This academy is one of the finest institutions of martial arts you will ever find. Marcos, the head instructor/owner, has decades of martial arts experience and nearly 2 decades of Jiu-jitsu experience. As an instructor, and as a man, he is as good as it gets. My fellow students and the higher ups are incredibly helpful and supportive of anyone who comes in and tries it out. Please, if you are considering BJJ, Yemaso BJJ is well worth your time and an excellent way to not only get in shape, but to learn discipline and self defense needed in this day in age.
I’ve visited the Yemaso gyms in Idaho and Reno, but I had never yet been to the HQ location in Sacramento. What a great morning! The only 5 AM clas I’ve ever been to in my life. And it made it super easy to get to work on time without missing breakfast or a shower! The mats were perfectly clean. The bathrooms were perfectly clean. But the technique was the cleanest of all! Crisp, clean, safe, effective technique. We worked standup, which I’m always grateful for. And I got some solid adjustments to both my arm drag and my Russian tie up. Perfect way to start the day. If you’re looking for a place to train and think you can’t make it work with your schedule——you’re wrong! Check them out!
Outstanding Training Experience I’ve been training for over 15 years, and I can confidently say that Marcos and his students made this one of the most welcoming and well-structured classes I’ve attended. As someone who travels frequently for work, I try to train wherever I go—and this place stood out. The instruction was top-notch, the environment was safe and respectful, and the community was incredibly friendly. I truly appreciate the hospitality and would highly recommend this academy to anyone looking for a great place to train with excellent guidance.
