"The class was a vibrant mix of energy, discipline, and fun. From the moment the session started, it was clear that the instructors were not only skilled in Jiu-Jitsu but also in working with children. They managed to strike a perfect balance between teaching serious martial arts techniques and keeping the class engaging for young minds. The session began with a warm-up that included basic exercises and stretches, tailored to prepare the kids for the physical demands of Jiu-Jitsu without overwhelming them. What stood out was the instructor's emphasis on respect, discipline, and self-control, principles that are central to martial arts. Children were taught to bow to their partners before and after practicing techniques, fostering an atmosphere of mutual respect. The core of the class was focused on teaching basic Jiu-Jitsu techniques, such as escapes, guard positions, and simple submissions. These techniques were demonstrated step-by-step in a manner that was easy for the children to understand. Highly recommend!"

"As someone new to BJJ I was really intimated but as soon as I walked in I felt welcome and comfortable. The classes are great for beginners like me but also kids and more advanced skill levels. Would recommend to anyone looking for self defense training and a community of great people."

"Brett and Sydney are fantastic bjj coaches for my kids - they are so attentive and patient and skilled at what they do. I don’t trust many people with my children but feel so comfortable sending them here! Class is fun and great for building self esteem and confidence!"

"I had the opportunity to watch my nephew take part in a class he attends here. The instructors/teachers are very friendly, engaged, knowledgeable, and the kids seem to love them. They had a big part in turning the little one from a shy kid to being more active and outspoken. Highly recommended."

"Elev8tion Jiu-Jitsu is a hidden gem! I spent days researching and visiting potential martial arts schools in the South Bay because I wanted the best fit for my kiddo. I am ecstatic about the program I found at Elev8tion. Great Coaches: Coaches Brett and Sydni are great with the kids. They approach every class with energy and smiles. They make sure that every child feels a part of the team. Students are always engaged and supported. Both coaches participate in each class, which ensures all students receive a lot of personalized coaching. Individualized Support: As a school teacher I can attest to the great benefits of individualized support. At many martial arts schools you typically have a single instructor with a class of 20 students. In such a circumstance, students often don't get a lot of support. Brett and Sydni put in time with each individual student to help them progress. Legit Self-defense: when looking for the right martial arts program for my son I wanted something fun yet practical for self-defense; the last thing I wanted was for my son to develop a false sense of security. Elev8tion BJJ has a strong self-defense program that also instills essential values, such as the best defense is to, when possible, avoid rather than initiate confrontation. Affordable: There are 20 jiu-jitsu places in the South Bay. When I was looking for the right gym, one factor was affordability. Elev8 tion BJJ provides three weekly classes for less than the one weekly class option at other places. Camaraderie: There are students aged from 5 on up. All the students approach classes with positivity, effort and respect for each other. My son felt comfortable and acquired from day 1. Coaches Bret and Sydni set a great example and I am happy to say that the students are enthusiastically following it. My son is loving his experience at Elev8tion BJJ and my family and are excited about the progress he is making."
