Mindset Coaching and Private Jiu-Jitsu in Las Vegas
I'm Benjamin Olivares. First-degree black belt, father, and 20+ years in high-level sales. Every week I send out free mindset coaching on discipline, pressure, family, and not quitting. Join for free. If you're in Las Vegas, train with me one on one.
Mindset First. Jiu-Jitsu Is the Tool.
One-on-One Coaching
Every session is built around you: your level, your body, your goals. No waiting in line to ask a question. You get a black belt's full attention for 90 minutes. Come in once for $50 or train 2 to 3 times a week on a monthly plan.
Free Weekly Mindset Coaching
Not everybody can train with me in person. So every week I send one email on discipline, pressure, family, money, getting older, and not quitting. Real talk from decades on the mat and in business. It's free and there's nothing to sell.
Real Self-Defense
Learn to escape, control, and stay composed against a bigger, stronger person. Jiu-Jitsu works on leverage and timing, not size. Sessions are by appointment, mostly mornings from 8:00am to 10:30am, with Sunday mornings available.
Coaching Programs
Young Men's Mentorship
For young men who need structure, confidence, and a strong male mentor. We build Jiu-Jitsu fundamentals, fitness, and daily habits that carry into school, work, and life. Parents are welcome to call and ask questions first.
Coaching for Professionals
For business owners and professionals who want to get in shape, learn to defend themselves, and sharpen the mindset that holds up under pressure. Morning sessions fit around your work day. Benjamin has spent 20+ years in high-level sales, so he knows the pressure you work under.
