Student Testimonials:

"While training under Dave Jacobs, I have fallen in love with the art of Brazilian Jiu-jitsu. Dave is an outstanding instructor that tries to bring the best out in his students. I have been involved in Martial Arts my whole life and you would be hard pressed to find an Instructor like Dave. He is down to earth, humble, friendly to boot. He has a unique perspective on this art and his passion for it comes out every class. He will push you beyond where you think you can go and then look at you like it was a given."

   -George Wehby

"I trained at two other bjj schools prior to joining the Yamasaki Academy and training under Dave Jacobs. I can say that Yamasaki has offered the best instruction by far. My jiu-jitsu and overall level of fitness improved tenfold. Within the sport Dave is one of the top competitors and as a result what he teaches is proven to be practical and effective."

   -Chris Kinser

“Excellent class, excellent instructor!  A great way to loose 20 lbs in 3 months in a fun and non-intimidating environment.”

  -Michael McNally

"I've found that if you want to excel, you need to train under excellent instructors.  Dave Jacobs and the other Yamasaki Academy instructors compete, win, and just plain know their stuff.

They can get you where you want to go, whether you are just out for fitness and self defense skills, or you want to win international titles. I know because they've helped me with both."

"On July 6th of 2006 I turned 30 years old and weighed 208 lbs.  A few days later a close friend sent me pictures from that day.  I was shocked at my appearance and decided it was time to make some changes in my life.  I had been thinking of joining a Brazilian Jiujitsu School for years and always talked about it but always had an excuse not to do it.  I remembered that a buddy of mine, Trey, trained with David Jacobs so I stopped in one evening just to check it out.  It was apparent immediately that Dave was someone I should begin my training with.  His style of instruction forces you to push yourself without even realizing it.  Everyone in his classes is enjoying themselves and getting a fierce workout at the same time.  I have been a member now for 7 months, quit using tobacco, lost 30 lbs and added more muscle mass to my body than I've ever had.  Diets weren't working and other workout routines had failed me, but training at Yamasaki Academy has improved my appearance, energy levels and best of all my health.  Do yourself a favor and come check it out."
