My daughter is 8 she is shy and quiet. She wanted to get into jiu jitsu we found this gym called them and they where very helpful over the phone, told us to come in fill out some paper work (super easy on a tablet) and she’s in they give you a free gi and she started practice that day. Coach Corey and coach Kyle have been helping her a ton. She looks forward to going to practice. Another thing is the kids practice is 5 days a week. Which is great a lot of other places where two and felt like that wasn’t enough. Thank you the base for getting my daughter out of comfort zone and teaching her life skills.

I came here yesterday as somebody new to the area and new to jiujitsu, and the instructor Ben was extremely welcoming. He allowed me to try a class while I get a feel for gyms in the area, and even told me all about the other gyms. He was extremely respectful of those gyms, sung their praises and explained what to expect of the vibes at each one. I believe if I choose to train here that I will be in very good hands.

My son and I absolutely love this place. Very positive, constructive environment. Everybody, coaches and students, are very laid back and easy to get along with. The entire place is clean and well maintained, and the art if jiu jitsu itself is easily one of my favorite things. We plan on spending a lot of time here and recommend anyone interested, at least give it a shot!

We are from Philly and spent two weeks in Boise with family. Our 7 year old daughter has been taking BJJ at home for 3 months and we didn’t want her to miss any skills while we’re gone.Professor BJ and his staff were amazing! The teachers were attentive, the skills were targeted/focused and my daughter really benefited from the amount of time the students got to roll with each other.I wish I could give them more than 5 stars!

I've experienced nothing but smiles, positive attitudes and motivating teachers! Everyone wants to see you succeed, which adds extra motivation to help your training partners to get better.I even brought my daughter to watch a couple classes, expecting her to get bored. When she saw other girls rolling around and controlling their sparring buddies with ease, her interest skyrocketed!Jiu Jitsu is such a humbling and amazing sport! And The Base is the place to learn it!

We're a Military family who recently received orders to the Boise area. Our kids attended a small Jiu-Jitsu academy in MO. Which we absolutely loved. I wanted to try and find a similar place here in Idaho.Although The Base isn't small like our other academy, it is fantastic. They offer 5 days a week of training. Including a no gi class. Coach Cory and Coach Kyle are amazing with the kids. We are loving it!

I’m sorry that 1 star review was a typo...I must have mis-clicked while using the navigation. I would give a review of 5 stars !! First lesson was encouraging and motivational, and I had a lot of fun yesterday and today.
