"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."

"I have been training with Luis for about 4 years now. Out of the last 15 years studying martial arts, those 4 years has had the most progression. If you want to get your mind, body, and spirit as strong as possible Luis is the man to see. I have complete confidence that if you hired him as a coach you would be completely satisfied."

"Luis truly embodies the ethos of Iron Fabric Caffeine. With discipline, integrity, resilience, and community. I have trained with Professor Luis for five years, and the impact he has had on my life goes far beyond the mats. His coaching is technical, thoughtful, and intentional, but what sets him apart is his character and the culture he builds around him. He leads by example every single day. He pushes you to grow, holds you accountable, and at the same time creates an environment where you feel supported and valued. Both of my sons train with him as well, and they love and respect him deeply. As a father, that means everything to me. If you are looking for a place to start your journey, whether it's fitness, martial arts, or personal growth, I cannot recommend anyone more highly than Professor Luis and Iron Fabric Caffeine."

"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!"

"Luis has been an incredible coach from the moment we met and started working together. His ability to carefully explain moves in a way that I can learn them has been incredible. He takes the time to make sure I'm truly understanding the motion and why it's preformed that way. He's been invaluable to my BJJ growth and I can not thank him enough for everything."

"I have trained BJJ private classes with Professor Luis for years. You should also note I didn't start until I was in my 50s. Professor Luis was understanding of my limitations but also developed a realistic plan for my advancement. He is funny, fun, friendly YET keeps you motivated to learn. To anyone thinking of starting a BJJ journey, young or old, go see Professor Luis. You will be glad you did!"
