  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.

  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 the “new guy” doesn’t get lost in the mix, but is an active participant which makes the class very enjoyable and definitely educational amidst the demanding challenge of training with the best.

  Had a great experience with Marcos. We dropped in from out of town and everyone was very professional and welcoming. Felt very lucky to have been able to experience such a well run class. Marcos is a world class instructor and his enthusiasm for the sport shines through. Top quality instruction and a very clean gym. Highly recommended!

  This place hands down is the place to go if you want to grow and succeed in this sport. Professor Marcos is constantly competing, evolving, and challenging his students to strive for more! If you want attention to detail, challenging classes, and an instructor is loves his job wholeheartedly then look no further! The kids classes are amazing and are at great times for the parents. If the parents want to participate in the adults class in conveniently right after kids class! Check this place out! They have a groupon that will let you get your feet wet!
