SVJJ is a great place to come learn Jiujitsu whether you have been training for quite some time or are just trying it out for the first time. The instruction is top notch and always a good time to be had. Can’t recommend this school enough.

I’ve been training here for about 2 years. The instructors are great, they go above and beyond. The people are super friendly. This is the best decision I have ever made in my life, hands down. They’re are more than professors or friends, they are FAMILY.

The facility are clean and organized. The professors are great and go above and beyond. They focus on teaching great skills to the students. They teach respect, self respect, how to build self esteem. I like how they check the kids report cards and make sure that they have been good at home, because it is important that the kids see training as a privilege.

My sons and I have been going for several years now. The people in the gym have become like family.The kids class has been exceptional. Especially for my oldest son. They hold them not just accountable on the mat but in life and school. It’s been great to have Mike and the coaches partner with me and help keep my boys accountable.

My girls have trained here for several years and we love it. This is a clean, safe school with excellent instruction and constant supervision by highly trained coaches. I encourage anyone to try SVJJ and see if it’s for you, too. This is a second home and family for us.

My husband and I love bringing our daughter to South Valley Jiu Jitsu and more importantly she loves training there. The instructors and kids are incredibly kind and welcoming. My daughter is on the younger side of the kids class but the coaches and other students have always had so much patience with her. Coach Mike goes above and beyond to make sure his students are successful both in jiu jitsu and in the classroom. We would not go anywhere else.

Been training at South Valley for a while now and can't begin tell you what jiu jitsu and the men that train there have and continue to do for me and my life. Great family environment and excellent real world Jiu Jitsu techniques that work in both street/self defense and tournament situations. Excellent kids program with the best kids coaching staff in town. Kids will learn life skills, respect, and discipline and have fun doing it. Not to mention it's the nicest, cleanest facility in town.
