Here in sacramento for vacation and I stopped in for an evening class. Coach rich was awesome and super technical. Super welcoming gym.
Amazing training with excellent technique! If you’re looking for a place to train in Sacramento I highly recommend Team Yemaso!
They won’t honor prices displayed on their website. They advertise children, age 2-5 is $50 per month. When I called to inquire I was told they only take kids starting at age 6. The man I spoke to was also extremely rude and dismissive.
Very professional instruction. You can tell Marcos and his staff take extra care and attention to make sure each student is learning to the best of their ability. Academy is clean and very well ran. Youth and adults, Men and women, everyone is welcome here to learn with the highest level of instruction I have ever received personally.
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.
My home away from home, Prof. Torregrosa is the most detail oriented instructor I know. His system of teaching jiu jitsu has lead to multiple championships and world titles both for his students and himself. Always leading from the front, Marcos is one of the hardest working human beings I know. The entire staff is professional, the classes are always on time, and most importantly there is a culture of friendship and family.
I started training here about a year and half ago, and it has been one of the best decisions I have made in a long time. Marcos Torregrosa fosters an excellent and supportive culture in the gym and training here is a great way to learn BJJ and grow as a person. If you have been hesitant about starting BJJ, dont be, once you walk through the door youll be hooked!
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!
I went on a busy afternoon but was received very amicably by the instructors. I travel for work and dont stay in one place for long, but if I lived in Sacramento, I would make this my home gym. I highly recommend checking them out, and let them know that you saw them on Google.
Great instructors, quality people to train with belts of all colors constantly available and willing to give advice. Would highly recommend to anyone who is interested in bjj.
Came to Sacramento for work and decided to check out Yemaso BJJ. They have great coaches and members. The facilities are large and well-kept. Everyone is welcoming and helpful which makes it a great school and learning environment.
Tried this place in the past with my friend and I am addicted since then. I like the awesome vibes and delightful food and drinks. Keep up the good work.
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!
I can’t recommend Yemaso BJJ enough for anyone looking to try Jiujitsu, whether for exercise, skill or competition. It’s an amazing community of people.
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.
Yemaso Jiujitsu is the best school in Sacremento.
One rank away from achieving my black belt with Yemaso BJJ and Im happy as ever to train here. This place has become a home away from home and my training partners have become a second family. I recommend this place to all people.
After a year and a half of hard work I received my blue belt yesterday from Yemaso. Jiu Jitsu has been an amazing life changing journey for me. I have learned a lot about myself, and I have become better in all areas of my life from training. I am absolutely blessed to be a part of Team Yemaso. We have such amazing supportive people at every belt level who have helped me along the way. Marcos Torregrosa has created an incredible training atmosphere. I recommend to everyone to come in and check it out for themselves. Osu!
I recommend this place to everybody.
Awesome academy with an awesome instructor, Marcos, who is on the leading edge of the latest bjj techniques. Further, Marcos goes out & proves his techniques are superior as evidenced my his #1 World ranking & his World titles. Dont miss your opportunity to train with the best! - Bruce Tafoya, 2nd degree BJJ black belt under Cleber Luciano Costa
If you are looking for a place to learn Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in the Sacramento area, whether it be for competition, or self-defense - this is the place to be! 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. And the results speak for themselves - Team Title at the IBJJF San Francisco Open, Team Title at the United Grappling Federation, and multiple medal placers at the Pan Ams and World Championships. If you are looking for cutting edge new evolved Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, this is the place to be!
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 Yemasos 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.
