From the reviews
Like many of us, I’ve had my own personal struggles and issues. 8 years ago, I met sensei Marcos Rubio. I walked into the dojo one day and tried out a lesson with him. One lesson was all it took for me to know this was something I wanted to be a part of and I made the decision to sign up.
I originally had this dojo rated 3 stars, but after Sensei Marcos showed me the error of my ways in the parking lot, I have corrected my review to 5 stars. 😂 Seriously though, my two boys have been coming to this Z Ultimate location for around a year now, and we all love it.
A great place to train and learn martial arts! You'll learn many different techniques and skills here. Plus, the instructors and other students are awesome to work with!

Your first BJJ class at Z-Ultimate Self Defense Studios
Nervous about walking into a BJJ gym for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good coaches expect beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, then drilling basic positions and escapes with a partner — not hard sparring. Rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: athletic wear you can move in (or a gi if you have one); you'll train barefoot on the mats. What to bring: water and a mouthguard if you have one — many gyms lend a loaner gi for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gi (or a rashguard and shorts for no-gi) and a mouthguard. Live rolling eases in gradually, once your fundamentals are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the coach. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
