Jiu Jitsu Private Classes and Personal Training in Simi Valley. Kids and adults. All levels.
All levels • Kids and adults • Parents welcome
I am an instructor at Street Sports Simi Valley, where I teach group classes for kids and adults in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.
Originally from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, I've been living in Simi Valley since 2017, where I've been teaching ever since.
Iron, Fabric & Caffeine (IFC) is my teaching philosophy that guides my private lessons and training approach.
I've been training Jiu Jitsu since 2012 and started coaching in 2016 when I was still a purple belt. I achieved my black belt in 2022.
I earned my Personal Trainer certification through ISSA, initially to better guide my Jiu Jitsu students with strength and conditioning. Now I'm offering this service separately for those who want focused fitness training.

Most people dream about an outcome, like a specific body or a new belt in Jiu Jitsu. Those goals take time and will only be achieved if you go through the process.
We emphasize the process itself by creating a roadmap and making sure we follow it. The outcome is just a natural consequence.
Consistency beats intensity. Train regularly.
Measure what you do, not just results
After reaching your goals, we help you maintain them for years
Real experiences from those training with IFC.
"My two kids (10yrs old and 7yrs old) have grown so much in confidence, focus, and discipline since starting with Coach Luis. He creates a positive, supportive environment where effort, respect, and good attitude are just as important as skill. He challenges them to improve every week. You can tell he truly cares about his students, both on and off the mat."

"Professor Luis has trained my son since he was 3 years old. He is now 8 and competes at a high level with control, discipline, and skill. The training he has received with Luis has not only bettered him as a competitor, but has made him a better person off of the mats. If you are looking for someone who will get to know your child, their goals, and work with them to achieve them, Luis is definitely the best option."

"Professor Luis is the embodiment of "culture". Through his commitment to his crafts & his dedication to the hard work his energy is transferred to everyone he come in contact with. He has trained my 2 daughters since they were 3 years old & they love EVERY minute of it! He has also guided me from the very beginning of my own jiu jitsu journey & we all couldn't be more thankful. His energy is infectious & it makes learning a new discipline fun!"
