I feel so lucky that our family found Jonatas and Channel Islands Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. It’s more than a Jiu Jitsu studio, it’s turned into our family!

I have been wanting to join a BJJ academy for years, however, I was apprehensive due to some of the hot headed and ego driven people I've witnessed in professional MMA. Last year, I started both of my daughters (5 & 8 years old) at Channel Islands BJJ with the intention of helping them build self confidence, and I am already seeing them becoming more mentally strong and more resilient to life's challenges. The environment that professor Jonatas has cultivated is more like a family, void of ego and selfishness, as we all rise together. I started attending adult classes a few months ago and now I am completely hooked. I am a life long surfer and this is the perfect balance of cross training I have been looking for. This has been life changing for me as it gives me something to strive to excel at and an outlet for me to excersice when the waves get bad. As professor Jonatas says, the mornings are for surfing and the evenings are for jiu Ji

I am grateful for the positive impact that Channel Islands BJJ has had on my children and highly recommend it to parents who are looking for a well rounded activity for their kids.
Channel Islands BJJ has changed my life! Professor Jonatas and the team are like Family! My daughters, wife and I have been apart of the Academy for 3 years. The academy just recently has moved locations. The new academy is so clean and new, and In a good part of Ventura.
