Torres Jiu-Jitsu

Before Torres Jiu Jitsu had a name, a building, or students walking through the doors, there were a lot of long days that included working full-time, training, teaching, competing, going to school, coming home late, and getting up to do it all over again.

Somewhere in the middle of all of that, we started building something of our own.

Eventually, Mike made the decision to leave the security of a “safe” job and take a chance on opening an academy.

It was a risk. It was scary. And it changed our lives!

To people outside looking in, jiu jitsu can seem like chaos. To Professor Maggie, it’s where she finds peace.

In this interview, she shares how stepping onto the mats quiets the noise of everyday life. What does jiu jitsu do for you?

Jiu jitsu has given us so much more than medals, belts, or techniques.

In our conversation with Cody Walden of Rolling Across America, Mike shares how jiu jitsu helped rewrite the course of his life, while Maggie reflects on the incredible people this journey has brought into hers.

Every person who walks through the academy doors has a different reason for starting, but so many of us end up finding something we never expected.

What are you most grateful jiu jitsu has given you?
