Self Reliant Jiu Jitsu

Self Reliant Jiu Jitsu is not only a fantastic martial arts gym but Andrew and Marie have created an incredible community around the sport. You get top tier instruction for kids and adults, coaches with huge hearts who adjust approaches to individuals, and a place to build technique and personal empowerment. If you are looking for a place to try or practice Jiu Jitsu, look no further. You won't find a better facility and a group of people in the valley.

SRJJ has been such a wonderful influence in my daughters’ lives. The coaches are professional, kind, and incredibly welcoming to both students and parents, and they’ve created a supportive community where kids feel supported and challenged. They teach much more than jiu jitsu instilling respect, hard work, teamwork, sportsmanship, and the importance of pushing through even when things feel difficult. Since joining, I’ve seen my daughters grow so much in confidence and resilience. They’re more comfortable in their bodies, more aware of their strengths, and they walk a little taller. They’ve learned how to handle losses with grace and are stronger, both mentally and physically than they ever believed they could be. The coaches are attentive, thoughtful, and truly care about the development of their students. I’m so grateful that this gym has been such a positive part of my daughters’ childhood and adolescence.

Our son has been training at Self Reliant Jiu Jitsu since he was six years old, and we truly cannot say enough good things about Andrew, Marie, and their entire program. The children’s program is outstanding. The coaching, structure, and consistency have made such a difference in his life. Through their guidance, he has competed in tournaments, earned wins, and learned how to push himself in ways we never could have taught him at home. The confidence, discipline, and resilience he has gained carry over into every part of his life. Andrew and Marie pour so much time, effort, and care into their students. They genuinely invest in the kids, not just as athletes but as people. Watching our son grow into a determined, confident little fighter has been incredibly rewarding, and we credit this school for a huge part of that growth. If you are looking for a jiu jitsu school that truly cares, challenges your child, and helps them become stronger both on and off the mat, this is it. We are so grateful to be part of this community.

My son has been training with Andrew and Marie for almost two years now and we couldn’t be more happy with them and their gym. Every day these two work extremely hard to not only coach at an elite level but always make us feel like family! We have one of the best kids programs in the valley and I would recommend anyone bring their children here to learn an incredible skill and make lasting friendships!

Our son has been training at Self Reliant Jiu Jitsu for almost two years, and we truly love it. Training under Andrew, a black belt world master, is a real privilege. Coaches Marie, Tylor, and Andrew are extremely attentive to detail, very technical, result-oriented, and truly supportive of every student. The gym is always very clean, the environment is friendly and disciplined, and the competition results speak for themselves. The kids are confident, well prepared, and show great sportsmanship. We also love the jiu jitsu camps, the Friday adult class where parents can train with their kids, and the strong sense of community. Events like the Christmas cookie share, fun games and celebrations, and the anniversary celebration with the jiu jitsu family make this gym feel like much more than just a place to train. Highly recommend to any family looking for top-level jiu jitsu training and an amazing community.
