I have two boys who have been taking instruction from Coach Alex for the past several months. Not sure how I would deal with teaching a roomful of boys but, Alex has patience that only a skilled teacher and father could possibly have. These boys love and respect Alex and it shows in each and every class. Alex is a top notch instructor and we feel very lucky we stumbled into the gym that day:)

My 10 year old son has trained under Alex Henley for over a year at Mario Esfiha BJJ. Alex is an amazing instructor — connecting with the students and conveying the technical instruction in a way that makes sense for each age level. This is a great program that instills confidence and promotes character and integrity.

My two sons ages 6, and 10, have trained at “Mario Esfiha BJJ” for six months under Alex Henley. With Alex’s encouragement at age 42, I myself now train as well. It is obvious that Alex’s passion for practicing BJJ, is equally matched by his passion for teaching BJJ. As a father, and a student, I highly recommend Alex Henley!
