San Diego Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu & Mixed Martial Arts

Fantastic family atmosphere. Great camaraderie, sportsmanship, and respect. And it’s a fantastic work out. These are just some of the words that come to mind when describing San Diego Brazilian jujitsu and its owner Paulo Augusto. Very thankful for a gym like this place.

I can't say enough good things about SDBJJ. I love the boxing, fitness, Judo and Jiu-Jitsu classes, but even better are the inclusive, welcoming and knowledgeable teachers and participants. Becoming part of the SDBJJ family has helped ease my anxiety, lowered my blood pressure and has been positive for my overall mental and physical health. My son loves the kids classes and is getting experience making new friends, gaining confidence in himself and learning to physically defend himself and others. The friendships we have formed at SDBJJ will last a lifetime.

We started bringing our kids little over a year ago, and SDBJJ has been great for our them. Aside from the obvious boxing, jiu jitsu and judo skills they’re learning, their confidence and physical growth is through the roof. The various coaches and senseis are very supportive and while it’s a lot of work, they make it fun for the kids too.Paulo, his family, and staff make this place feel like home for many. Also, he’s really good with names…!

This is the best BJJ school for miles around.Teachers here are great. Ive mainly learned from Wesley, Jason and Adam, and they are AMAZING teachers. I went from no training to fighting pretty decently in ~4 months. This is a really great school that allows you to go at your own pace. WOULD recommend highly.

Truly a great place to learn. All of the instructors are knowledgeable and encouraging, and there is a special culture at this gym that I haven't seen anywhere else. Everyone is eager for newbies to succeed, and this has made all the difference to me. I highly recommend SDBJJ if you are looking for a place to get started.

This is the best place I have trained at. They offer a wide range of classes to keep you engaged: bjj, judo, Muay Thai, boxing, and fitness classes. I am so happy to have a chance to work on both grappling, and a striking discipline. And even to work on take down with Judo. The only thing that is better than their schedule is the people. The coaches are knowledgeable, funny, and approachable. The students are helpful. Highly recommended for everyone.

My husband and three daughters have been training at SDBJJ for years. This has been a second family to us and we could not be more grateful. Sensei Paulo and his team are truly amazing. I would recommend SDBJJ to anyone who is looking for a fun, family oriented community with the best judo and jiu jitsu instructors in San Diego.

SDBJJ is a warm and welcoming gym that provides top level jiu jitsu instruction for all ages, shapes, and sizes. There are always multiple black belts on the mats and everyone is willing to share knowledge. This school is top notch for sure.

This is the best place to learn Jiu-Jitsu and Mixed Martial Arts. Everyone is super friendly and helpful towards helping you achieve your goals!

My family was going here before the pandemic and I want people to know how great it was to go especially for families and individuals who want to train several aspects of mixed martial arts, they lost their Muay thai trainer some time back but that is only thing they are lacking and only because they only hire trainers who are dedicated to the job and the ones there definitely are. My family and I will be back soon.
