Granite Bay Jiu-Jitsu

"My son loves his class! Ryan and his team are amazing at what they do. They are fun but, focus on learning and building the kids skills. My son has changed so much since he's been apart of this program. He so much more confident and has grown to use his voice a lot more. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who feels like they're a kid needs a little bit of structure But aren't into the traditional sports at school. From this point my son has said he always wants to do ju jitsu. We are sad to be moving but happy that our son found his spark."

"This is an outstanding place to train. Coach Ryan has fostered a really positive culture at this gym. The teachers are outstanding and approachable. Everyone is helpful and willing to teach. We celebrate everyone’s success and personal growth. If you like to compete, you can ramp up the training w the competition classes and they have done really well at tournaments. I can personally vouch for the character of coach Ryan and his business. He is passionate about jiujitsu and wants to see his students develop/grow in jiujitsu and life."

"For three years we have stuck with this JJ academy because of the relationship coach Ryan has with the members. The community is great! The coaching style is just what the kids need! Ryan is very accommodating and encouraging. The flexibility of class options for the students to be involved in many ways to develop skill sets is our favorite aspect of this academy."

"My son has been with GBJJ for 6 years now. At first I thought he would not like it due to close contact. Ryan, the coach/owner, made him feel comfortable and confident. My son now truly loves training with Ryan. Ryan skill level along with the way he treats his students is unremarkable. He does not favor anyone in the class as he treats everyone the same. Most importantly, Ryan teaches them to respect the martial art they are learning. I am completely happy with GBJJ and more so with how Ryan. If anyone parent is undecided about sending their child or if any adult is on the fence about training with Ryan at GBJJ, I would say you won’t regret it. I would like to say thank you to Ryan and GBJJ for being professional, fun and having respect for all students."

"Great group of instructors with an amazing facility (dojo) and a strong kids program. Practical, competitive, or hobbyist pathways are supported. Emphasis is in personal growth and confidence building. My son gained a lot of confidence in 2 years and now has a solid base in grappling defense, positioning, and fundamental finishes to protect himself and end a fight if needs be through control and de-escalation."
