I just started not even 2 months ago but this is the most fun I've ever had. Ben is extremely friendly and a great instructor pointing out every little detail all his students need to succeed. Very friendly environment that encourages everyone to get better . Not just the instructors teach, but everyone is teaching everyone. No one has been unnecessarily rough and it's a great facility. I come here to have fun and be better, the getting fit and stronger is just added pros. I've been to 2 other bjj places, but this is the one I prefer.

I was in Boise for work and found The Base. This is a great place to train. The environment is friendly and welcoming. It is a very respectful school and the coaches/instructors are phenomenal. Ben and Nick specifically were a great help to me even though I was only a guest. They have a great group of people there and I would recommend this school to anyone who is visiting in town or lives in Boise and i looking to train.

The Base is an amazing place for kids and adults to learn Jiu Jitsu and so much more! My son has been coming here for 5+ years and the growth he's had physically and emotionally is simply amazing. The instructors truly care for the success of all the kids and always make it fun to learn. This place has become our family! I highly recommend the Base Jiu Jitsu academy!

Life changing.There is something that happens to a person when they learn Brazilian Jiu Jitsu or "BJJ". It's been described a multitude of different ways. I think it's best explained by any of the parents with children attending the kids classes. Seriously, go down and ask a parent if they recommend BJJ. I think the answers will amaze most.I've heard parents speak of the way their kids have changed for the better. I see respectful kids with discipline and maturity. I see kids being comfortable with challenges.For adults, it's just as transformative. The adult classes are absent of ego, welcoming with questions - there are gonna be a ton of questions - and rich with instruction.I came for the skill, stay for the community, and recommend BJJ to all walks of life.It's life changing.The hardest part is walking through the door."Most people over estimate what they can do in a year and underestimate what they can do in 10 years"- Bill Gates

This is the place to train in Boise and a must stop for anyone headed out west. Professor Mitch is a real American Ninja, his teaching is of the highest caliber and you'll find The Base to have everything you're looking for to train Jiu Jitsu from tough, friendly competition to exceptional drill work and coaching. Thank you Mitch, Brandon and everyone who made me feel at home at The Base. Any of you are welcome to link up with me up whenever you're planning a trip to Florida. Thanks so much!
