“Mike Davila embodies everything you want in a coach. He is passionate, understanding, and admirable. From the moment I met coach Mike he always made sure to explain each sequence of technique he was teaching. He never failed to answer any questions anyone had. He always extends his help and share his knowledge and experience in Jiu jitsu with all his students. From white belt to black belt he treats everyone equally. Learning Jiu jitsu from Mike Davila has changed me not only as a Jiu jitsu practitioner but also as a person. I have set goals for myself and viewed myself differently because of his coaching and the advice he has given me. It’s rare that you come across such a person with a high-level experience and technique who is willing to share it openly and wants to see others grow. Anyone learning Jiu jitsu from him will receive the most important lesson of their lives. That persistence, hard work and having patience with yourself is key to climbing the ladder of success in Jiu jitsu.”

“Adam is a phenomenal coach and trainer. His expertise and knowledge of JUI JITSU and MMA is top notch and his resume is deep, but that’s not what sets him apart. What does is his passion and dedication to his students. Adam is always in your corner both literally and figuratively. There is no one I’d rather train BJJ and MMA with. Adam sets the same high standards for his students as he does for himself. He’s always helped me reach the next level, pushing me to be my best reaching levels I previously didn’t know I could and I guarantee anyone who trains with Adam feels the same!

"Adam and mike are two of my closest friends and some of the best people you can ever meet. I first saw mike Davila fight in 2013 and immediately wanted to know where he trained at and he invited me to come train with him in the Bronx, and ever since then he’s been a big part in my career. Mike has taught me so much in terms of mma, jiu jitsu and just life and general, he has cornered me in most of my fights and he is one of the best grapplers on the east coast, I’m am honored to be his first bjj brown belt and anyone should be honored to learn underneath him and Adam.
Adam is one of the best human beings I have ever met, an all around great guy who took me in with open arms when I needed a gym to train at. He’s been a very close friend/coach of mine for over 2 years and I can’t thank him enough for everything. He has some of the best jiu jitsu I’ve ever seen on the east coast and his accolades speak for themselves. I’ve learned some great boxing and mma skills from him that I always use in the cage. Any student who has the pleasure from learning from these two high level martial artist will be very fortunate and most definitely will succeed in their martial arts journey. They are truly some of my favorite people."
