My 7-year-old trains here, and I can honestly say this gym is an amazing place. The coaches are patient, professional, and truly care about the kids. They focus not only on jiu-jitsu techniques, but also on discipline, confidence, and respect. The environment is welcoming, safe, and very well run. My child looks forward to every class and has grown so much both on and off the mats. We’re very grateful to be part of this gym and highly recommend it to any parent looking for extracurriculars their kids!

trained here for two years and had an amazing time with my teammates. Head instructor Alvaro, morning instructor Alex, No-Gi Prof. Santi, and coaches David, Mo, and Dan are all kind, supportive, and highly skilled in both jiu-jitsu and coaching. Most importantly, this is a place where you can train and enjoy jiu-jitsu safely. Thank you to all my teammates who supported and trained with me. I hope everyone stays healthy and continues to grow on and off the mats. See you soon.

Hi my name is Leilany I am a student at @jiujit su it’s a wonderful school I love the coaches they are so nice 😊 they help a lot and make sure you do it right thing. My first day there was good they helped me and taught me well I went from white to solid grey if it wasn’t for them I would’ve never got there without them when you get hurt they give you ice. Jiujitsu su teaches you discipline endurance, helps you protect yourself and you also get stronger and learn how to control yourself they also got MMA ,kickboxing,muay Thai and you play games during class like dodge ball and play music while you work hard.So don’t listen to bad reviews try it out first before you misjudge it and I promise they are amazing people and an awesome team oh did I mention that they got a snacks and water also they have events that are fun like parents night out during parents night out you get ice cream pizza and watch a movie and parents get to go out so try it out you will lovvvvvve it 👍😄🤗🫶💪🥷.🥋 Sincerely Leilany

Professor Alvaro, Coach David, and everyone here are truly amazing and warm-hearted people. My 4 year old son always looks forward to every class and attends with so much joy. This class is not only about learning Jiu-Jitsu—it’s full of life lessons like respect, focus, kindness, and patience. Even as a parent watching from the side, I learn something new every time. It’s a place filled with love and positive energy. We feel so lucky to be part of this community!

This is an incredible school for everyone, from complete beginners to advanced students. There are classes all day long, from early morning (7am!) to late at night, and people of all ages and levels train here. Alvaro, the owner, has built something special here and created a real community. He makes everyone feel welcome. My son trains in the kids’ classes, and Alvaro and the coaches do an amazing job connecting with the kids. The atmosphere is fun and positive, but the focus on learning and discipline is always there. For adults, Alvaro and Alex are fantastic teachers. Both have the rare ability to simplify complex techniques and make them easy to understand and apply. I highly recommend @Jiu-Jitsu!
