San Diego Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu & Mixed Martial Arts

SDBJJ has great members and sensei’s!! I love to learn and train judo and bjj here! Great place, I recommend it to anyone that wants to learn and make themselves become better as a person. Thank you sdbjj!

I started my 4 year old daughter at SDBJJ about 4 months ago. She absolutely loves it. It’s great fitness mixed with fun and discipline and is helping her grow into a strong and confident little girl.

I came to San Diego Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu around four years ago as a way for my two youngest sons to get some exercise, gain social skills, and learn self-defense. San Diego Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu did such a great job that the rest of the family signed up as well. Sensei Paulo, his wife Katia, and all of the staff do an awesome job of creating a facility that is warm and welcoming while at the same time promoting self-defense and fitness.

My 7 year old son and 9 year old daughter have been going to SDBJJ exactly a year from today. Armin and Averie have shown much growth in all aspects as students in the gym and at home. Paulo, Katia and their staff are professionals and provide the best services to all families. It’s a well rounded gym with many things to offer from Jiu Jitsu/Judo, fitness and boxing. My kids enjoy going there and I couldn’t be any more happier. The sensei’s are great and are so patient with the kids. Both of them have learned so much in the past year in their training and I can’t wait to see what the next year will bring. - Paula S.

Paulo sensei and the other senseis are amazing, respectful, and spirited people. It is a great opportunity to get introduced into the martial arts worlds and life open experience.

You wouldn’t find a better place than sdbjj to train and learn the art of bjj/judo and other disciplines of MMA. Friendly staff and members make it a family friendly gym where everyone can learn and grow; not only in martial arts, but as a person....The equipment and set up is out of this world..

I’ve been coming here almost daily for a month and I really like the atmosphere and the people I’ve had the pleasure to meet. The classes are very flexible to my busy schedule and the instructors are awesome. I’ve never felt left out or discouraged from any activity here because the staff are so helpful, friendly, and professional. If you’re looking to better yourself, physically or mentally, this is a great place to be.

It only took ONE visit for my child and me to see that San Diego Brazilian Jui Jitsu was where we wanted to be. The physical skills taught are extraordinary. However, combined with character development and accountability in all walks of life makes SDBJJ simply exemplary.

We joined SDBJJ in July and have been extremely happy with the classes and instructors. Our kids love to go, and I get to work out while I watch them. The instructors are the best!!

I tried BJJ severals years ago in another state and suffered a bad injury. I have always wanted to train again, but after my previous experience I was hesitant. 10 years later I have found a home at SDBJJ. Everyone from the coaches to the students are welcoming and want you to be successful. The facility is huge with plenty of space to train and always clean. Sensei Paulo and Sensei Adam make attending class fun while you learn. Sensei Paulo and the upper belts always put an emphasis on safety, which is very important at my age. I highly recommend SDBJJ
