Testimonials

Brand new to Jiu-Jitsu, Eric and all the students at MLJJ welcomed me into the classes. Everyone is friendly and respectful. I've learned a great deal in my short 5 months here. With dedication, Eric will see that you succeed in your goals for Jiu-Jitsu because his passion extends beyond his own goals as a Jiu-Jitsu practitioner. He strives to grow the school he has established here in Mammoth Lakes with skilled and competitive students to share in his own passion. MLJJ is very much like a 2nd family. Come try a class, you'll be glad you did!

"I joined Mammoth Lakes Jiu-Jitsu a little over a year ago and it's the best decision I've ever made. I'm not only learning skills in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, takedowns and self-defense, but also meeting great people and becoming a better person myself! This has been a great opportunity to challenge myself, and the results have been weight loss, increased cardio performance, and more confidence both in my personal and professional life."

- Jamie M.

“Came to train here while visiting the Mammoth area and Really glad I did. They are Friendly with Great coaches! Thank you for a great night of training.”

- Jennifer L.

“Conditioning, camaraderie, and confidence is what Mammoth Lakes Jiu-Jitsu is to me. Retiring from a team oriented emergency response organization I was looking to fill that void in my life and Mammoth Lakes Jiu-Jitsu did that. Having trained for almost two years under Eric I look forward to every class and the opportunity to learn more. I wish I had found Jiu-Jitsu sooner.”

- Kevin M.

“I have been training with Eric Leach for over 13 years. Eric is an inspiring and motivational coach, but more than that it is obvious that he cares about creating meaningful relationships with his students. When you walk into the MLJJ studio you can immediately feel the atmosphere of respect and acceptance that Eric has worked hard to establish. If you want to gain self-confidence, create friendships, or improve your jiu-jitsu technique MLJJ is a great place to start!”
