Testimonials
“Our 6 year old son has been attending Kogaion Academy for just over six months, and it has been a fantastic experience! The coaching staff is incredible with the kids—supportive, skilled, and dedicated. Not only has my son made great progress in Judo and Jiu Jitsu, but he’s also grown as a person. He’s learned patience, respect, and how to handle frustration and losing with more maturity. We couldn’t be happier with the positive impact this academy has had on him. We would highly recommend.”
“The kids program at Kogaion is *chefs kiss* 🤌.
Kogaion Academy is a family. The head instructors, Victor and Beatrice, are welcoming and friendly, and their love of the sports of judo and Jiu-Jitsu and passing on their knowledge clearly shows.
I started my daughter in the kids Jiu-Jitsu classes three years ago; she now attends adult class and helps assist with the younger kids classes. Seeing her change from a quiet, shy girl to a quiet yet confident young lady has been amazing to watch, and I credit Kogaion for that.”
“My daughter has been attending judo and jiu-jitsu classes at Kogaion Academy and the transformation has been amazing. She’s more confident, focused, and disciplined both on and off the mat. We’re so grateful for the supportive and professional environment.”
