Concept Jiu-Jitsu of Clearwater

Awesome Jiu Jitsu gym! High level techniques, good vibes! Definitely the right place to be!

Brian is probably responsible for most of my admittedly small knowledge of grappling, he is a process oriented instructor and a terrific guide into the world of BJJ.The facility is amazing with bright lighting, a clean and tidy appearance and most importantly large and clean mats as well as showers.

Brian Frias has been one of the best Black Belts (let alone, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu practitioner) I’ve had the pleasure of training with, during my current short period of training BJJ. Whether In the Gi or NoGi.Very informal, knowledgeable and coherent. Works very well with people with disabilities, as I’m a double above knee amputee with a few missing fingers, and he easily found a workaround for my situation.He helped me in my process to find a gym that had solid fundamentals and would accommodate me well while he was getting ready to move out of state (eventually landing in Florida).Every time I have the opportunity to train with him, it’s a great learning experience as he’s more than willing to work with my tempo.He was also more than willing to take time out of his schedule to substitute as a coach for me in my first ever Competition (Para Jiu Jitsu through SJJIF).Phenomenal Instructor to say the least!

Love this new gym, it’s spacious and clean. The instructors/coaches are very knowledgeable and welcoming. I definitely recommend Concept Jiu-Jitsu. LEO friendly. 😊 …

I've had the pleasure of working with Brian on several occasions. He's incredibly knowledgeable, very welcoming, and a truly great human. The new facility is clean, and really well managed. I highly recommend Concept JJ to anyone interested in BJJ, or looking for a new home to continue their journey.

Would definitely recommend! I am very new to Jiu jitsu so I was nervous coming into the gym but Brian made me feel super comfortable and broke down movements in a way that was super easy to learn. I started a little apprehensive and nervous but I left feeling really good.. I’m excited to keep learning and coming back. The gym also looked brand new and was super clean.

I’ve trained with Brian in BJJ. He’s a legit dude and instructor. From a Military and law enforcement stand point, he brings a common sense approach to his instruction and tactics. I highly recommend his gym especially to military / law enforcement.

I have known and trained with Brian for years. Whenever he gets into something, he dedicates himself to it. He has dedicated himself to self defense. Whenever I have rolled with him, he was very knowledgeable. He shared his knowledge with me in a way that was easy to understand. He knows the small details you need to easily do specific moves. Brian has selflessly gone out of his way to constantly better the ones around him. If you are looking for a new professor, it wouldnt get better than Brian. The new gym looks awesome and I can't wait to train there.

I’ve trained with Brian for over the last 7 years since starting Jiu Jitsu. His instructorship has allowed me to progress quicker than many of my peers. With so much available information online it was difficult to know what to focus on when I was first starting. Brian provided methodical guidance early on in my training without wasting my time on the new hype or fads going around. Brian instructs a strong fundamental understanding of Jiu Jitsu, wrestling, and overall concepts of control leading to submission. His Military and Law Enforcement background gives him a unique ability to teach self-defense that is practical to the environment that everyday citizens may encounter.
