Espiritu Jiu-Jitsu

Awesome place, good environment, good music, a really good approach to the martial art with good instructors, everybody is very welcoming, diverse schedules so every has opportunity to train, amazing workout, amazing place for someone that wants more then a challenge for themselves.

Great teachers! Really help kids build their self esteem while teaching them about Brazilian Jujitsu.

Was looking for BJJ place a long time and was extremely lucky to have found this gem in Oxnard. Instructors push you to be your best. Tough fighters, yet compassionate on and off the mat. Jeremy is passionate about the art; demanding excellence in the smallest details.

Awesome place to train. Professor Jeremy is the best at teaching and Coach Carlos leads the lunch classes. The people who train are very cool and always help each other learn. I am fat and lazy and this team has helped me get back on the warriors path.

Professor Jeremy and all of the coaches are super friendly. I was admittedly very nervous when I was first starting to attend classes, everyone here makes you feel incredibly welcome. The classes have very good mix of technicality and self defense. The most striking thing to me is how Professor Jeremy ties in movements and how they are used in Jui Jitsu and how they may be used for self defense. Overall I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a structured workout or the self defense aspect!

I love this place. Professor Jeremy makes learning fun, exciting and uses humor to lighten up things. I never feel pressured or unsafe in class. You can freely ask questions and your teammates are always willing to help. There’s a diverse training schedule with kids, teens, and adults. This makes for a family experience. I’m in my 40’s and training and I had some reservations when I started. Professor quickly dispelled all those fears. When I stopped showing up to class due to changes in my career Professor Jeremy reached out to me to see why I haven’t been coming to class. I had already paid for a yearly membership and when he checked up on me I ran down to him why I haven’t been coming. But I promised him I’d be back and I’d be making some changes in my career to get back. If you’re serious about learning and scared to make the leap this is your sign and the place to do it at. He also offers private lessons and is totally approachable. I recommend this place to everyone.

Professor Jeremy provides a well balanced training environment for beginners, as well as more advanced Jiu Jitsu artists. The curriculum is taught with a systematic approach with an emphasis on fundamentals - which includes wrestling and judo. The sense of community is strong within this academy and that all starts with Professor Jeremy, and his wife Meyann. They are welcoming, fun, and caring and it shows with the students that show up each and every day. Its a blast to train here and I highly recommend it to ANYONE.Lastly, Espiritu BJJ also has a phenomenal kids program. Watching young people meet good friends, work hard, build confidence, and find out what they're made of is what its all about and Professor Jeremy and his coaches - Daniel, and Aymee - do a fantastic job at taking care of the students.This academy is AWESOME. :)

I started training at Espiritu Jiu Jitsu and Jiu Jitsu in general for the first time last year in 2021 at the ripe old age of 35 yrs old; as a full -time farther/husband , full-time student and full-time employee I have plenty of excuses not to train. Professor, Jeremy has created a easy to learn curriculum combine with a welcoming environment for people of all ages and experience interested in Jiu Jitsu. I recommended anyone who is interested in joining a gym that they give Espiritu Jiu Jitsu a try.

Just started here and immediately having a blast! Came in a total newb, but the atmosphere was so friendly and supportive I didn't feel nervous long. Professor Espiritu has a great disposition for teaching, and provides just the right balance of push and patience. I really enjoy hearing him explain the history and rational of every new move he teaches. The humor he throws into mix just makes it even more fun! Great time for beginners and advanced! You learn so much it makes all the sweat worth it. Highly recommended!

Jeremy Espiritu was one of my first Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu coaches and he is awesome. First off, he makes classes fun and engaging with his great communication skills and sense of humor. Second, its a great workout. The drilling and cardio mixed into his classes keeps you sweating and moving for an hour. Third, he is just a great guy to be around. Dedicated family man who genuinely cares for his students. Highly recommend.
