Detroit Jiu-Jitsu Academy

This is a great gym with some really nice people, had an amazing time training here. Would highly recommend for anyone looking for a gym in Dearborn.

Great gym and community. Friendly skilled students and excellent knowledgeable professors and coaches. I only trained one day because I was visiting from out of town, but if I lived in Detroit, this would be my Gym. Thank you prof. Danny and Parker and everyone else I was able to train with. (Also amazing facility - massive, clean, Muy Thai area and weights area.too.)

The place is very clean, mashallah. When i went there, i was really surprised at how it's very neat and organized. Everything you want and need is there. The coaches are amazing. There is a boxing ring and choaches for that as well. 10 out of 10 and would def recomd tou going there and check it out.

DJJ has been a staple in the Southeast Michigan BJJ/MMA scene for some time. Really strong reputation throughout the Midwest with phenomenal adult and kids programs. I trained here for nearly five years after relocating for work, and had an excellent experience with the team.For beginners: the environment is welcoming with great instructors and zero pressure to compete/roll with folks above your skill level. I competed twice in five years and never felt pressure to do more than that (though competing is certainly encouraged).For advanced athletes: the gym is home to several current and former MMA fighters. Several of the guys have had fights in Bellator, One FC, and the UFC.For BJJ purists: several athletes have competed and performed well at IBJJF Worlds and the ADCC trials.You'll find really strong instruction and a jam-packed gym with tons of high-level talent to roll with. Really excellent experience training there.

My husband started training here about 2 years ago and has been BEGGING me to come try jiu-jitsu. As someone who has never done any sort of grappling, to say I was intimidated would be an understatement. Coach Danny and Coach Anthony were immediately welcoming and open to having someone as new as me in the gym to come train. The atmosphere and training environment cannot be matched. I’ve grown so much as a person and athlete since joining the DJJ family. There is no other place I want to continue my jiu-jitsu training except at DJJ. I’m grateful for this gym. I’m grateful for amazing coaches. I’m grateful for jiu-jitsu. ❤️

I started my grappling career at a very young age specifically folkstyle wrestling, transitioned to freestyle wrestling and thought I was invincible. I went to jiu jitsu gyms all across and was fairing well against theyre toughest guys. I can confidently say this is the #1 jiu-jitsu Academy I’ve ever been too. Professor Danny is a jiu-jitsu mastermind. I grappled with him once and he knew exactly what my weakness was. Everyone in there from white belt to black belt is legitimate. Khalil fadlallah is by far the best back taker in Michigan, I’ve taken personal classes with him and this guy is legit as they come. Highly recommend to anyone in the area to visit this gym. Actually for anyone who is serious about their jiu-jitsu journey. Love these guys soo much I’ve met some of the best people In there. Some of they’re purple belts would be black belts in 98% of other jiu-jitsu schools.

Danny and the instructors care about each and every student. My 13 y/o started a year ago, and is also working toward his black belt in TKD. This is a learning curve for him as he has been learning a lot of kicking and striking for years now. He loves it and feels it gives him a greater advantage as far as self defense goes. It’s also a great workout, which I love…tires my kid right out because they work hard!

Awesome class! Professor Parker taught a great escape from the turtle position. Then got to roll with training partners at every level from white to black. I drove all the way from Arkansas to be here. Can't wait to come back when I can stay longer. Oss!

My son and I planned a trip to visit family in Detroit for Christmas 2021. I sent a email to Detroit Jiu-jitsu in November 2021, to see if they would let my 11 year old son train while we were in Detroit. They responded immediately, that they would love to host my son while visiting. When we first arrived to the gym, I was very impressed with how clean and organized the gym was. Coach Danny walked over to us and introduced himself, and took my son to the mat where the other kids were. After day one training was over one of the kids that my son rolled with came over to my son and shook his hand and said you are really good at jiu-jitsu. My son said that he likes the school, the kids and the coaches here. As a parent, that tells you alot about a school when your kid brags about it. I highly recommend Detroit jiu-jitsu to any parent that wants their kid to train in the sport of Jiu-jitsu. Thanks to coach Danny and staff for welcoming us with open arms. Awesome school.

Started training here about 6 months ago after switching from another local gym. Best decision I ever made! Coach Danny and Coach Anthony REALLY care about their students and my Jiu Jitsu skills and knowledge have increased dramatically. DJJ for life!
