About Good Karma

“When I started jiu jitsu I was pushing 300lbs and insecure about how others looked at me. Today I live a healthier lifestyle and feel more confident when I am in public. I have lost almost 100lbs with the help of Yoda and his influence in my life. It has been a great experience and once you start you can’t quit-it’s addictive! ”

“At Good Karma Jiu Jitsu Academy. I have the pleasure of taking classes with the instructor Yoda and others. As a female student, I can confidently say that the Academy fosters a supportive and inclusive environment for everyone. The instructors and fellow students work together to enhance each other's learning, creating a positive and empowering atmosphere. Additionally Good Karma Jiu Jitsu Academy actively collaborates on community events with me (You Matter Foundation), further strengthening the sense of unity and giving back to the community. It's truly a remarkable place to train and grow both personally and as part of a larger community.”

“Yoda is awesome. A great teacher. Very knowledgeable, and able to teach in a way that kids can understand. My son's confidence and coordination has improved drastically in just a couple months”

“Good Karma is a very welcoming place to learn Jiu Jitsu, Yoda is an awesome instructor and one of the nicest people I’ve met. Everyone is so helpful and welcoming, which is great for people like me who are just starting out. I’ve had a blast so far and can’t wait to continue training here!”

“This academy has gone above and beyond my expectations so far. As a father with an autistic boy, finding an age appropriate activity that captures his attention is huge. But finding a PERSON/PEOPLE that are as flexible and helpful as yoda is next to impossible. The kids classes roll very slow so that the child and the parents better understand the scenarios. My family and I would be honored if you came and joined the Good Karma family, hope to see you all there.”

“I went to a few classes and it was awesome!! Yoda was a fantastic instructor and thoroughly explained all the motions. I highly recommend any female (or anyone) attend some classes to learn this form of self defense, it could be super beneficial someday. Plus, it’s really cool to say you know how to do it!”
