Kaizen Jiu Jitsu

Kaizen Jiu Jitsu is a very special training facility. I’ve been to other fight gyms and this one is definitely in its own tier. The patience and understanding Gibran really embodies is that of which a true coach should have. Not only is everything explained and shown thoroughly but through his energy the rest of the athletes pick up on the positive culture and support that is needed for everyone in the gym to grow and thrive. There is no toxic or aggressive energy and no matter who you are you can fit in, whether you’re just figuring out what grappling is or you’ve been in the game for quite some time and you’re a legitimate practitioner. Something different is being built around Kaizen and I’m excited to be a part of it. If you’ve been considering beginning to train this is absolutely the place to start. The community here is unparalleled and is evolving into something great!

One of the nicest looking gyms in Sac, it’s also very clean. The location is great as well, it is right off the freeway. The coach, Gibran is very passionate about jiu jitsu, his way of teaching is very clear and concise. I highly recommend this gym.

My daughter is really enjoying Kaizen! She's building confidence, learning new skills, and sweating like crazy 😀 Classes move at a good pace with demos and lots of time for practice with classmates (while guided as needed). Kaiser has a really supportive culture. It wasn't about "winning," the teacher and other students were all focused on helping each-other excel.

Recently I came across Kaizen through a friend and I’m happy I took the leap and signed up. I am new to the sport so my first class I was a bit anxious initially, but when you walk in you feel the welcoming energy. Gibran is a great instructor. You can see the passion and knowledge in his teachings. Classes are structured well, the atmosphere is nice, the people are awesome. I am a month in and feeling motivated to continue coming. Thank you to everyone at Kaizen!

Came by for a jiu-jitsu class today. All around great experience! Gibran is an involved coach who goes around and helps the students perfect their techniques by explaining exactly what they can do better, and then demoing it. I liked the flow of the class too since most of the class was focused on technique, followed by live rolling from the same position so you could work on the technique with real pressure. Highly recommend this gym to anyone wanting to get into jiu-jitsu in Sacramento.
