Why parents choose Komunal Jiu Jitsu

Kids training grappling techniques on mats

Rolando began Jiu-Jitsu in elementary school. While still in school and training only part-time, he won several IBJJF World Championships, earned his degree at SDSU, and made Honor Rolls and the SDSU Dean’s List. He proved you don’t have to sacrifice education, family, or life to reach the top — all with a clean lifestyle and no PEDs.
