The training philosophy at Forge Brazilian Jiujitsu emphasizes proper technique, safety, and a supportive community atmosphere. As a small gym, Forge BJJ takes pride in being client-focused, ensuring that every member receives personalized attention and meaningful results. The academy welcomes students of all experience levels, from complete beginners with no martial arts background to seasoned practitioners. Classes are designed to develop not only physical attributes like strength, agility, and endurance, but also mental qualities such as confidence, discipline, and mental toughness.
The gym is led by head coach Alejandro Perez, a black belt under the legendary Jean Jacques Machado. Coach Alex brings decades of experience and a deep understanding of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu to his students. He is supported by Coach Sam Lee, a brown belt with over ten years of mat experience who embodies the Forge BJJ lineage, and Coach Anthony Rico, a brown belt with a strong wrestling background who leads the stand-up class every Wednesday. The coaching staff is passionate about helping students master the art of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu while creating a fun, dynamic, and supportive training environment.
