About

Gallegos Jiu Jitsu HQ in Chula Vista's Eastlake corridor operates from Suite 110 on Kuhn Drive, founded by a BJJ black belt who began training in 1996 under Fabio Santos in the Rolls and Rickson Gracie lineage. The academy runs both a competition-focused BJJ program and a parallel Muay Thai striking track, pairing the Thai clinch and elbow combinations with the post-training soft-tissue recovery offered at ISSAN Thai Massage and Spa. A registered 501(c)(3) non-profit arm extends martial arts programming to veterans, survivors of domestic violence, law enforcement officers, and underprivileged youth through the Gallegos Jiu Jitsu Foundation. Cubs classes for ages four to seven and Lil Lions sessions for ages eight and older introduce ground-control positions and basic submissions at scaled intensity. The competition team's periodized training cycles integrate gi and no-gi sparring with wrestling-based takedown drills and strength work complemented by the recovery modalities at SoCal Wellness. Competition credentials in the head instructor's record include a Vulkan Open title, an NABJJF North American championship, an IBJJF No-Gi World Championship bronze medal, and an IBJJF Nationals silver medal.
