Amazing instruction, clean facility, and positive vibes! Would recommend jits players of any belt level to come train here at the base.

My review is not based on the level of instruction or training atmosphere, but the complete lack of communication/responsiveness.I've tried to contact The Base both via the email system on their website as well as leaving several voicemails throughout the week, and have yet to receive a response of any kind. I understand that people get busy, but not taking the brief time to respond to someone repeatedly attempting to make contact is (in my opinion) unacceptable for a modern business, and as a potential customer has caused me to feel insignificant/unimportant before ever having the opportunity to step on the mat. I do not feel that just showing up in person should be the only acceptable method of contact.I was very interested in signing up here. The reviews are fantastic and the early morning sessions would have worked perfectly with my schedule. I am hoping that this experience is just a freak occurrence for an otherwise great place to train. If I ever get a chance to speak with someone and try a class or two, I will update my review accordingly.

When searching for a place to train the first thing that made me interested in training here was the schedule. They offer a 6 am class that no where else that I looked offered which allows me to get my training in, get to work, and not miss time with the family. The instruction is top notch and the culture is welcoming. You will not be disappointed if you decide to train here!

My 4 grandkids have been students at #TheBaseJiuJitsuBoise for over 2 years. The BJJ instruction is outstanding along with the instructors from the numerous black belts to coaches of senior belt ranks.The owner/operator Ben Buttars sets an excellent example for all the black belts and coaches who train the many kids and teens who study at The Base.I am thrilled with what my 4 grandkids are learning in BJJ and the character they are building through those studies.***** 5 Stars from me.

I had a great experience at THE BASE! I was from out of town looking for a place to train and they were extremely welcoming and acomidating even provided me a loaner gi. The instructors are high level and the attention to details awesome. Every one was very friendly made me feel like I was at my home gym the first time there. Looking forward to return as soon as possible! Thank you to every one there!

Great gym, even better classmates/instructors. Everyone is super willing to help, whether it’s instruction on technique, advice on a workout regiment or diet, or anything else you could ask. The environment is super friendly and very inviting. Would 10/10 recommend. Come in and give it a shot. Regardless of whether you’ve already trained jiu jitsu, or never done it a day in your life. You’ll have a great time.

We came to the Boise area for graduations. My son wanted to roll and BJ welcomed us in. The instructors were great and the kids class was a blast! Thank you for a great morning. We can’t wait to come back again.
