Carlos got involved in Jiu Jitsu (Martial Arts) because he wanted his daughter to be able to defend herself. As a child, Carlos trained Tae Kwan Do, but realized that punching and knocking someone might be more difficult for a girl. He was looking to provide her with a more effective way to deal with threats. He found a local Jiu Jitsu school and started she started training. Two (2) weeks later, he liked it so much, he joined and started training. Within two (2) years he opened a strength and conditioning gym (Monstros); which offered Jiu Jitsu training as well.
Carlos was researching better techniques to help himself and his students and was drawn to Eddie Bravo's - 10th Planet program. Soon thereafter, he connected with Lonnie Vickery who had the same interests. Both he and Lonnie realized that although punching and kicking may be a nice way to defend yourself - submitting someone with style is priceless.
The Monstros location is bilingual school (Se Habla Español). Classes are taught for kids, teens and adults both in Spanish and English.
