Carlsbad Jiu Jitsu

"Carlsbad JiuJitsu has been an amazing experience for my nieces and nephew. They have gained so much confidence and discipline. The coaches are so encouraging and motivate them to be better. They have done tournaments and I can see how much the kids look up to the coaches. They love going and have met so many new friends, its a great place for the kids and have exceeded our expectations!"

"Both my son and I train here. This jiu jitsu gym is the best. Clean mats, great instructors and such an awesome family environment. There are always multiple black belts on the mats in the adults class. The kids class and instructors are amazing, my son has made some great friends and loves his instructors. Can’t say enough about what a great experience we have both had, highly recommend Carlsbad Jiu Jitsu!"

"My kids have been coming here for 4+ years. Amazing instructors that are patient yet command respect at the same time. It’s a safe environment and they add games to make it fun for the kids. My kids have learned so much and can defend themselves if needed. Yet, have the respect to never use their skills to bully. So glad we’re here."

"I am grateful to have found this place for my daughter. She loves training with her friends here and has really thrived in this focused but fun environment. Jiu Jitsu is a kinetic activity, but my daughter feels safe on these mats because everyone here is expected to be respectful and worthy of respect - which is key to maintaining an environment where you can trust each other. One of the reasons that we chose to come here was that this place allows for continual growth and development. The youth classes balance discipline, exercise, and play, there is a competition team for kids who are really excited about advancing, the adult classes feature camaraderie and skilled practitioners, and all who are interested are well prepared for participating in tournaments. I can see that she will be able to continue training here as she gets older which could be challenging for girls at many places. Additionally, all classes are well populated, which means that there are always enough training partners. Many of the kids that my daughter trains with have been coming here for 5 or more years - some of them with their entire families. That so many people have been loyal to this place for so long is testament to the relationships that they build here as well as to the strength of the programs they offer. Also, Professor Aaron, Professor Elijah, and all of the coaches are strong, patient teachers. I am impressed with the way that they structure lessons and provide valuable coaching with the goal of helping each student improve. The instructors know the members’ skill levels and personalities and take care to make sure that each person is challenged while remaining comfortable. It is this aspect of Carlsbad Jiu Jitsu that really sets it apart. I really do feel lucky that my daughter ended up here. Jiu Jitsu has become an important part of her personal journey and I trust these people to guide her."

"I was very nervous to start Jiu Jitsu as an adult with no previous martial arts or wrestling training. Carlsbad Jiu Jitsu made me feel welcome from the very beginning. The training is top notch and has the perfect balance of being challenging but still fun. Coaches Aaron and Elijah have taught me so much in just over a year."
