Defcon Jiu Jitsu

Great place to train, friendly and experienced coaches! Love this gym and the people here. One thing I really appreciate is the black belts really make sure your technique is right and pay attention to each member

Amazing environment to practice Jiu Jitsu and very welcoming to all skill levels. All who attend are very friendly. Highly recommend to anyone interested in this martial art.

I started training at Defcon in early 2022. I planned to train for 3 or 4 months and improve my fitness a bit.. It's been 14 months and I'm still driving 75 miles round trip three times a week - That's how much I love this place! Super clean facility, great training partners, solid jiu-jitsu. Getting to roll often with high level practitioners like professor Art and coach Tim will quickly elevate your game. There is a solid core of experienced regulars that are happy to help out those new to the art. Already experienced in combat sports? Trust me, there is still so much for you to learn in this room. See you soon!

Friendly , cozy sized gym with good family values and knowledgeable instructors. Check it out

Great place to learn jiu jitsu. Professor Art is patient and very detailed in his instructions. All upper belts are very helpful and all egos seem to be left at home. No matter who you roll with during our training no body is out to hurt anyone. In addition I immediately felt like family from day 1 and after 2 weeks of training I've gained some new brothers thanks to everyone. OSS

Great place to learn jiu-jitsu. My son and I go. Art is a great instructor and everyone is friendly. I recommend this place to everyone I know and meet.

Art is a great instructor. Fundamentals are the keys to success in bjj and professor is a master of them. If you are looking to train in a fantastic atmosphere with wonderful people this is the place.

I love this place so much! Professor Art is an excellent instructor- whether you are a beginning white belt or a seasoned Jiu-Jiteiro-- you are able to take away so much from his classes. He takes his time to guide you through the nuances of each movement, and facilitates a wonderful and positive learning environment for students of all ages and genders. It is a safe and fun space to learn, and I look forward to coming to each class.

This has to be the best BJJ gym in Bakersfield. Professor Art has amazing fundamentals and takes pride in his craft. Also, Professor Art trained at an original Gracie academy; so you know you're in good hands. Lastly, the environment is very clean and welcoming. You will not regret embarking your journey here at DEFCON.

We drove to bakersfield from porterville. It was worth the drive. professor Art spends 1:1 time with each student. His wife is friendly and makes you feel comfortable. The gym is very clean. My grandson had so much fun. He is about 7 months into this sport and he loves it. He talked about it the entire drive home. I definitely take my grandson more if we lived closer. Overall just an awesome experience.
