South Shore Jiu Jitsu & Mixed Martial Arts

I attended a class at South Shore Jiu Jitsu while visiting San Diego for work. From start to finish, Professors Shawn and Ronnie were exceptionally welcoming, helpful, and engaging. The class was so great. Everyone I trained with was friendly and technical. Got some very helpful feedback along the way. Highly recommend the gym as a place to train. Already looking forward to visiting again when back in town. Update in 2024. Visited again while in town for work, and great experience once more. Professor Ronnie and everyone was very welcoming and helpful. Had such a great time training here. Will definitely be visiting again.

20 Stars if I could! The Highlights: - Top-Tier Owners & Instructors: Professional, talented, and hands-on. - Elite Talent: High-level training for all ages. - Unbeatable Community: A welcoming environment for the whole family. - Great Value: Very fair and friendly membership plans. If I could give this place 20 stars, I would. My four children and I all train here, and it has been an incredible experience. After visiting many BJJ studios across the world, including in Asia, South Shore Jiu Jitsu & Mixed Martial Arts stands out as truly world-class. The instructors are phenomenal. They know exactly how to connect with students, making sure the kids stay motivated while ensuring the adults get top-tier training. Their reputation in the military and local IB/Coronado communities is well-earned—they’ve trained some of the highest-level athletes and service members around. What I love most is the environment they’ve created. It’s a place where families learn self-defense, build resilience, and support one another. With friendly pricing and a team of owners who truly care, it’s the best investment we’ve made for our family.

This gym is so great, we’ve tried so many gyms in SD to find our fit, and have never been to a gym this down to earth and welcoming. The kids program is so fun for the kids and the coaches are so attentive and take the time to get to know their students. My kids have a blast in class. I’m so glad south shore has sparked their passion for bjj ❤️ PS- the gym is also spotless and in such a great location with a view and plenty of parking. You can easily get coffee lunch or dinner right next door, or go on a trail walk after class!

Amazing gym to get kids introduced and started to Jiu Jitsu. Ronnie and Shawn are world class and they do an incredible job with the kids, especially the little ones. Our son started when he was 4 and has a blast. Its a perfect blend of getting the kids moving around, having fun and learning skills.

My 3 & 5 year old love this gym! It’s a great way for them to burn some energy, learn great skills and challenge themselves. The youngest group is a lot of fun play mixed with drills, the coaches really know what they are doing. The community and atmosphere is phenomenal, you should definitely give this place a try!
