Champlin Jiu-Jitsu Academy has been my son’s home for BJJ for the past 2+ years. The kid classes are incredible and provide excellent support for learning both the how and the why of BJJ techniques, as well as educating about the rules of competitions. Drew Champlin is a solid instructor and coach and has a team of amazing folks working alongside him. After watching my son learn so much in his first year, I started attending classes and have really enjoyed the journey. The gym is clean and welcoming to all skill levels. I’ve met so many great people on the mats. The class schedule at Champlin is also really plentiful. Additionally, Drew frequently hosts seminars from some of the best BJJ athletes in the world. This is a great gym to get started at, or to join to further your development. If you have child interested in learning jiu-jitsu, this is the best place in town to get them started.

I can't say enough good things about this gym. My friends and I needed a place to train, Drew welcomed us with open arms into the gym. He is an amazing coach with so much experience. He is patient, kind, and will help you level up your Jiu Jitsu to places you didn't think possible. The community and gym culture here is fantastic. It's a very relaxed place that is welcoming and full of people who support each other. I 10/10 recommend Champlin Jiu Jitsu. Thank you, Drew!

I’ve known Drew for years, and he’s the one who got me to finally commit to BJJ. Now I’m hooked. Great coaching, welcoming atmosphere, and a strong group of guys and girls who push each other to get better. Perfect for any age or experience level, whether you want to learn something new or compete at a high level. Highly recommend.

I recently moved here after the military and have been looking to get back into BJJ. On one of my rare days off, I dropped into Champlin Jiu Jitsu for an open mat and had an awesome experience. Drew is such a great guy—he took the time to chat with me, ask about my training background, and make me feel welcome right away. The gym and mats are spotless, the environment is competitive, and there’s clearly a ton of talent here. Drew was very attentive and checked in with me throughout to make sure I was good. If this gym wasn’t so far from me, it would definitely be my home gym. Thanks, Drew
