I have been training with Justin for 7 years. I really like the fact that he teaches the actual arts. A lot of places teach Jiu Jitsu and Kick Boxing, but they are modified for MMA. At the New Mexico Jiu Jitsu Academy, you will learn Gracie Combative Jiu Jitsu. The curriculum was setup by the family of Grand Master Helio Gracie and is the purest form of self defense Jiu Jitsu. We also learn authentic Muay Thai. Justin learned Muay Thai from Ajarn Chai Sirisute. He brought Muay Thai to the US in 1968 and is the President of the Thai Boxing Association. If you are looking for a place to train, I highly recommend the New Mexico Jiu Jitsu Academy. It is a beautiful clean facility where you will learn the correct techniques and nuances of Jiu Jitsu and Muay Thai. It is a classy school where lessons are taught in a methodical and respectful way. I plan on training here for the rest of my life.

Excellent school to learn Gracie Jiu Jitsu and Muay Thai. The instructoris excellent and professional at the classes he teaches. The school has a amazing family-friendly atmosphere and the students are great to get along with. As a affiliated student for 5 yrs, I've had a great experience learning both Jiu Jitsu and Muay Thai, and how it taught me the art of Self-Defense as well as discipline. I would highly recommend this school to anyone looking to learn self-defense.

Best place to learn Jiu Jitsu the way Helio Gracie intended it; as a form of self defense! The instructor, Justin Hall, teaches both kids and adults in positive environment and has developed an atmosphere where any age and ability will feel comfortable. My son was having difficulty in school due to constant bullying and harassment. By learning and employing the techniques he learned from Justin, he is now confident and excelling. I can't recommend this school highly enough based on our experience there.
