About Us
The team at Art of Entanglement is all about Jiu-Jitsu and the community. We are family run, with owner Chris Moreno coaching alongside his wife and son. That family focus extends to our entire staff, each one treating students like their extended family. They all have their own styles, but come together to teach the same concept of Jiu-Jitsu to all our students. Come meet the team and see what they can do for you at Art of Entanglement!
