Nemesis Jiu Jitsu 635 Northwest 16th Avenue, Portland, OR 97209

"Amazing students, always a great place to train and find new friends. Eric is a savage, all of his colored belts are legit."

"I have had the pleasure of training in various gyms/academies with a variety of practitioners, ranging from the guy who just wants to learn self defense to UFC fighters. I came to Nemesis for the first time about a year ago and instantly felt comfortable at Nemesis. Everyone introduced themselves and were very welcoming to new additions. More importantly, I would like stress how amazed I was with Eric Hemphill. His knowledge of Jiu Jitsu and small intricacies were nothing but spectacular. His ability to explain a particular movement was a light bulb flashing above my head. I will continue to train here and be a student of Eric Hemphill and the Nemesis way. I highly recommend Nemesis Jiu Jitsu, and I recommend learning from Eric Hemphill even more!!! Eric, thank you for allowing me to train with you and Nemesis, I look forward to learning much more."

"Fantastic gym. A lot of very experienced grapplers and a few newbs like me. The crew here couldn't have been more welcoming. I'm hooked. Eric is on another level and all the other coaches are great too. Monday and Friday evenings are the best for beginners. Check out Stewart's fundamentals class at 5:30."

"Nemesis is an awesome place to train. Eric Hemphill is one of the best coaches you can get, and all the grapplers are friendly and excited to train. I love rolling here."

"Eric Hemphill is a standout. He moves brilliantly on the mats and embraces old-school Jiu-Jitsu as much as he embraces new-school Jiu-Jitsu. The place is clean and all of the people who train here are very respectful and concientious. A great place for a beginner or a veteran."
