The academy’s story is closely tied to Anthony Gutierrez, whose grappling foundation began in wrestling at age five. He quickly built a reputation through high school, placing three times in CHSAA State Wrestling, finishing 6th his sophomore year and 3rd his senior year at the CHSAA Wrestling Championships. In 2002, he won The Centaurus High School “Top of the Rockies” Tournament and closed his senior year with a 40-5 record. His resume also includes multiple National Championships placements during high school, plus later success in Jiu-Jitsu tournaments such as 2nd place at the 2005 Grapplers Quest West Coast and 3rd place at the 2006 Pan-American Championships.
That competitive experience carries into the academy’s approach, especially for students who want coaching rooted in real pressure-tested grappling. Anthony’s transition from athlete to youth wrestling coach also shaped his love for teaching and sharing knowledge, which gives Motive Jiu Jitsu Academy a clear coaching identity. Students can expect instruction influenced by both wrestling and Jiu-Jitsu, with a philosophy centered on practical growth, confidence, and skill development. Programs like Street Ready and Women Street Ready suggest an emphasis on usable self-defense and real-world application, while Advanced Adults gives seasoned grapplers a place to keep progressing.
For local students, the academy also offers a few everyday conveniences that make training easier to fit into a routine. Bike parking is available, and the gym accepts credit cards.
