Bluestarr Grappling

In July 2020, I began my training at Bluestarr. Despite my previous attempts at losing weight through traditional methods, such as running and weight training, I was unable to shed pounds when I weighed close to 250 lbs. As a former Marine, fitness was always a top priority, but I couldn't seem to make any progress. From the very start, Sadiq and Dana welcomed me into the Bluestarr family. Grappling gyms can be intimidating for new members, especially for adults who have never done it before. However, the inclusive environment at Bluestarr was apparent the moment I walked through the door. Sadiq ensures that the training sessions remain versatile by incorporating various grappling arts such as BJJ, judo, wrestling, and sambo. In addition, during kids' classes, Sadiq engages them through relevant games, which help them learn and remain active. Now, nearly two years later, I am down to 211 lbs, hold a blue belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, and have grown to love the sport more and more each day.

If you're looking for a top-notch training facility, BlueStarr is the place to be. Their instructors are highly skilled in various forms of martial arts, including Jiu Jitsu. Sadiq, in particular, stands out as a true master of his craft and an exceptional teacher. I usually attend classes with Carlin, James, and Julio, all of whom are also excellent instructors. It's a supportive environment where everyone, from black belts to purple belts, is committed to helping me grow and improve.

Bluestarr has become a beloved activity for my entire family. What began as a novel experience for the kids less than a year ago has blossomed into a shared passion. The instructors are wonderful, and our positive experience with the team has been consistently warm and inviting. We truly consider ourselves part of the Bluestarr family.

In the past seven years, we haven't encountered a skill set as exceptional as the one offered at this Academy. Although jujitsu can be learned anywhere, this Academy provides the opportunity to learn from the finest.

Bluestarr provides an excellent opportunity to master grappling and self-defense skills. Professors Sadiq and Julio meticulously teach the martial art and ensure that you or your young one become proficient in grappling within a brief period. Although it has a familial environment, training sessions are demanding to equip you for learning, competing, or defending yourself in a real-world situation. Bluestarr instills confidence and character, catering to individuals of all ages.
