Salinas Jiu Jitsu & Personal Training

Salinas Jiu Jitsu & Personal Training is led by Coach Adrian Garcia, a black belt under Professor Stan Kendrick of Triune Jiu Jitsu Brasileiro. Adrian brings a background not only in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu but also as a certified personal trainer and fitness nutritionist through the International Sports Science Association. The academy traces its lineage through Helio Gracie to Francisco Mansur and Claudio Franca, grounding its instruction in traditional BJJ principles while emphasizing self-defense and fitness. Adrian’s daughter, Jenna Garcia, is a black belt with extensive competition experience in both Jiu-Jitsu and wrestling, highlighting the family’s deep involvement in grappling arts. The academy offers structured classes for kids under 7 and 8 and up, as well as adult gi classes. Training focuses on building confidence and self-control rather than encouraging fighting, reflecting the school’s commitment to mental as well as physical development. Many students, including the Garcia children, have applied their skills effectively in real-life situations, underscoring the practical emphasis of the curriculum. The academy also supports competition preparation and encourages a steady progression through skill levels. In addition to BJJ, Salinas Jiu Jitsu provides personalized fitness training tailored to individual needs, accommodating injuries and personal goals. This combination of martial arts and fitness training aims to improve overall health alongside grappling skills. The facility is wheelchair accessible, and the schedule includes opportunities for private sessions and drop-in classes, making the academy accessible to a broad range of practitioners in Salinas.
