Testimonials
"I have trained at Connect jiu jitsu under the direction of Professor Gustavo Carpio for the past year now and couldn't be more pleased! The minute I walked into Connect Bjj I felt welcomed by Coach Becker and Professor Gustavo. Day in and day out Coach Becker and Professor Gustavo were there with positive attitudes and a willingness to teach and train. Gustavo is a hardworking martial artist with a passion and great talent for jiu jitsu. He is an amazing teacher and has become a roll model to me over the past year. I credit my success in tournaments to his training style and his mindset that he gives to me and to all of his students at Connect Bjj. Connect Bjj is a warm and friendly environment that I would recommend to anyone who is interested in pursuing jiu jitsu. Whether it be for fitness, self defense, or to be competitive in the sport of jiu-jitsu, Connect Bjj in Downey is the place to be!
