Really good jiu jitsu gym that is new to the Chinatown area! Great group of people and Ean is a great instructor who excels at teaching the fine details of techniques and applying them in live sparring. Whether competitive or hobbyist, there is something for everyone at Taggz. It’s always a blast training with these guys whenever I’m in town and hope to be able to visit again soon

Ean at Taggz Jiu-Jitsu is phenomenal! He’s been incredibly patient and dedicated in helping me improve my basics and fundamental skills. Every session is a perfect balance of clear instruction, hands-on coaching, and encouragement. You can tell he truly cares about his students’ progress and takes the time to correct details that make all the difference. I’ve grown tremendously in my technique and confidence since training with him. Highly recommend Ean to anyone who wants to build a rock-solid foundation in jiu-jitsu! Highly recommend!!!
