New Ground Jiu Jitsu

Absolutely incredible training environment. Clean space, friendly people, and Mike is one of the nicest and most skilled gym owners I've ever met. Been training a decade and am yet to find a place I'd rank above this one in all those areas.

New Ground is an amazing academy for Jiu Jitsu. I had never done any kind of grappling prior to showing up here a couple years ago. Every coach here is patient, kind, and crazy knowledgable. Coach Mike has really fostered an environment where you can feel comfortable showing up and training in a safe, clean environment, no matter your level of experience. The sense of community that all the coaches have created and continue to develop and spread is such an awesome thing to get to be a part of. When I first came to New Ground it was during a very weird and difficult time in my life. I’m grateful this place exists not just because it helped me get through a pretty wild time, but because others benefit the same way I did. I train here, my kids train here, and I can’t recommend enough that anyone and everyone should train here, too. 10/10 gym and people.

Extremely good vibes, clean mats and had I known about it beforehand, would have used their showers (most gyms don't have 'em). If you're curious about BJJ or have been training already, definitely recommend to stop in. Good people.

Coach Lobes is one of the better people I’ve met in all of Jiu Jitsu, and I’ve been training for 15+ years. This is one of the safest cleanest environments I’ve ever trained in as well. Whether you’re a beginner, or have been training for a while, New Ground has a bit of everything for no gi training. Come try a class, seeing and feeling is believing!

I’m brand new to Jiu-Jitsu, and walking into a gym for the first time was pretty intimidating. But from day one at New Ground, the entire process felt smooth, inviting, and genuinely fun. The coaches are very patient, clear, and always open to questions. They create an environment where you can ask anything and never feel “too new” or out of place. Very quickly, I realized the coaches treat every student the same, no matter your rank or experience level. Whether you are brand new like me or have been training for years, they give you the same respect, attention, and encouragement. There is never a sense of superiority or arrogance, just a genuine desire to help everyone improve and learn. The other students are a testament to the atmosphere the coaches have built. Everyone I have trained with has been friendly, supportive, and quick to offer help. If you are considering starting no-gi BJJ but feel nervous or unsure, New Ground is the place to take that first step.
