Park City Jiu Jitsu

Park City Jiu Jitsu is top notch. I have been to a number of different gyms over the years and this is the one I have chosen for my son. This gym and it’s coaches expect a lot of the kids that attend and I love it. It teaches the kids discipline, leadership, hand/eye coordination, respect, being a team player, and so many other positive things. My son has grown so much as a person on and off of the mat. I have watched multiple children come in timid, anxious, and scared and within weeks be thriving. The instructors teach their students to tap early and tap often and take safety seriously which I also appreciate.

Park City Jiu Jitsu is a fantastic facility that offers world class instruction. I train out of Steel City in Pittsburgh but travel quite a bit for work which gives me the chance to visit lots of other facilities. Park City is one of the best I’ve visited thanks to the high quality of instruction as well as how welcoming everyone was. The gym is clean and the training is respectful and safe. They had a good mix of men and women as well. Professor Mike Diaz is an incredibly knowledgeable and friendly instructor. He ran an open class and made time for questions and extra review for any issue people may have had with a certain move. Park City is extremely fortunate to have such a facility. I highly recommend and hope to visit again.

I started looking for a self defense program for my daughter after she was bullied in her dance class and she was afraid to go back. What I found was far beyond a self defense program. After visiting and attending classes in over a dozen different studios, Park City Jiu Jitsu exceeded any other Jiu Jitsu or martial arts program I have experienced. Professor Mike Diaz deeply cares about the progression and safety of each student, developing their independent needs. I have watched my children rapidly progress in technical application, physical strength, conditioning and most importantly self-confidence. Mike has a rare ability to elevate the potential of each student, to exceed their personal expectations and to become better than they believed possible. Regardless of age, experience, or physical attributes, you will learn and have fun! At Park City Jiu Jitsu you will develop physical conditioning, improve mental focus, with the ability to protect yourself and those you love with the most effective self defense techniques available. Mike Diaz at Park City Jiu Jitsu is a world class coach.

I was visiting from out of town as an older blue belt and stopped in at Park City BJJ. I joined the beginner class first and was really impressed — the instruction was clear, thoughtful, and accessible for all levels. The vibe was welcoming and positive, which set the tone right away. After class I stayed for open mat: 20 rounds, 3 minutes each with 30-second breaks. It was a fantastic mix of training partners — black, brown, purple, blue, and white belts — and everyone was very welcoming to visitors. Great rolls with a variety of styles and energy levels. The academy itself has a clean, cozy, family-friendly atmosphere that makes you feel right at home. Whether you’re a local or just passing through, this is a great place to train. Highly recommend!

We absolutely love Mike & all of the Park City Jiu Jitsu coaches! My son has been going to this gym for the past couple of years and I truly believe it is one of the best decisions we have ever made as a parent. Not only is Jiu Jitsu an incredible life skill, they push kids to work hard, be respectful, never give up and be extremely disciplined which is rare to find these days. I have watched my son’s confidence grow so much in all aspects of his life since coming here. Can’t say enough good things about this place.
