CANNOT THANK RAUL, ADRIANA, AND EVERYONE AT JIU JITSU THERAPY ENOUGH FOR WELCOMING ME WITH OPEN ARMS.
They do a fundamental class with coach Adrianaand the stretches and techniques there are super helpful for all the other more advanced classes! It's a great mix and environment, I love it and cannot wait to keep training and growing!

After many months of standard "cookie cutter" physical therapy following complications from knee replacement surgery, I was very happy to find Adriana.
HER BROAD KNOWLEDGE, ADVANCED EDUCATION, AND CREATIVE PROBLEM-SOLVING SKILLS PUT HER IN A DIFFERENT CLASS OF PHYSICAL THERAPISTS.
I also appreciate that you spend the entire hour with her, one-on-one, rather than be passed off to an assistant.

HANDS DOWN THE BEST SCHOOL IN SANTA CRUZ AND WATSONVILLE AREA.
This is a great school for all levels. The head instructor Raul Quintero is very knowledgeable and has a great teaching method. He is also an avid competitor who’s passioned about jiu Jitsu. The school is only good vibes, and I strongly recommend Jiu Jitsu Therapy for anyone looking to get mentally and physically strong while learning selfdefense.
THE JIU JITSU HERE IS TOP NOTCH.

After going to other physical therapists for a few months I was very frustrated by the bad advice and felt super discouraged.
I STARTED SEEING ADRIANA AND THE FIRST DAY SHE SAID “WELL LET’S SEE WHAT YOU CAN DO, NOT WHAT YOU CAN’T.”
From that day on my mind set really changed, we started off doing basic core strengthening stuff and before long I was back in the gym lifting weights! Loved her attitude and outlook on chronic pain.
