Customer Testimonials
I’ve been training at Ortiz academy since 2012 and as someone who started as a kid (9yo female), and has continued for all these years (21yo), I can’t recommend it enough. The community is awesome and Eddie and Thiago are one of a kind instructors who really want to see you progress and learn and aren’t afraid to push you to achieve that.
