Amazing BJJ gym. Came up from Dallas for a few weeks during the holidays to get some training in and Shawn and the rest of the instructor team is letting me get some lessons in for no charge. Everyone is welcoming and I'm getting some solid rolling and instruction in. Highly recommend to anyone in the Hillsboro area.

The best martial arts gym I’ve trained at thus far. Shawn is so knowledgeable and a great teacher. Everyone in the gym is welcoming, kind, and competent! This gym has ignited a spark in me for BJJ and I plan on sticking with it. Such a wonderful community to be a part of. I’m always looking forward to class.

Chosing the CTA Hillsboro Jiu Jitsu was one of the best decisions I've ever made. My son has been going to the school for almost 2 years and loves it! We are very happy with the school. It is great for teaching kids respect, confidence, and discipline. Great coaches!

After taking a 2 year break I was finally looking for a place to continue my training, I found a couple places in the area but stopped by here first. The environment and the people were so welcoming that I didn’t even go to the other schools I had planned to. It’s pretty tough to find the type of training environment Thats here in CTA Hillsboro. It’s a very welcoming and family like bond here with everyone, I’m glad to call it my school and my team.

I trained at two other gyms and used to travel to 26 states for work and would "Drop In" various gyms to get some mat time and see what other places are like. Shawn is the owner of the Hillsboro location and he has legitimate teaching skills. He has a unique way of detailing drills and coaching that makes you want to learn and makes complete sense. If you train Jiu Jitsu, you know what I mean. Not to mention, this gym wins a lot of competitions and has everyone from just about every profession, culture, age and size. It's great for anyone and the people are great! My wife and

CTA Hillsboro is an awesome place to train. It's the first place that I've ever trained and everyone there are amazing team members and very welcoming to beginners. My fiance and I haven't been training for very long but already feel a sense of belonging there. All the instructors are very knowledgeable and are really good at providing feedback to make you better. 10/10 recommend, if you are thinking about training BJJ this is a great place to do it.

Both me and my elementary age daughters train here and I'm very impressed with Shawn, Ka'ohu, Mike, Tillman, Ben and all the instructors. They have a passion for Jiu-Jitsu and helping students improve in a non-intimidating environment. CTA is a welcoming, family friendly gym with great classes for all age and skill levels, so If you're considering training yourself or want to get your kids into an activity stop by and give it a try.

I am working in the area and trying to make a bit of a BJJ comeback - so no excuses! I packed my gi and showed up a few minutes early to see if I could drop in. I was immediately greeted and given the 10 second tour. 30 minutes later I was training. Great instruction - friendly (but serious) members. No egos to worry about either! Thanks guys!!!

By far one of the best gyms around!! Family atmosphere. They offer early morning classes 3 times a week which is perfect for people like me who can only train in the early mornings. Phenomenal kids program which my 7 year old is in, where they not only train kids how to protect themselves, but teach respect, confidence, and discipline.
My son just recently began competing in tournaments and no matter how many kids, no matter how many tournaments going on CTA will always have their coaches right by the student's side coaching them up. And as a parent who is not a Jiu-Jitsu expert, that

I've only been to a few martial arts gyms that had the right environment without the business sales tactics. Gyms with belt fees, contracts, and association fees are all too common these days. Definitely red flags for me. Both children & adult classes have healthy amounts of enrolled students. As an adult student, I've found that many gyms struggle to keep students in my age demographic. At other gyms, I quickly become annoyed at having to attend mixed children's classes with limited supervision or giant gyms where the ratio of was 40 students to 1 instructor. Training

This training facility is top notch! Shawn And Virgil are great instructors for adults and kids. I signed up for boxing last August and look forward to every class. My six year old daughter has also joined boxing and loves the class. If you're looking for a great workout while learning the fundamentals of boxing/jiu jitsu I recommend joining. They have morning and evening classes with Sunday classes available also.
