Active Jui Jitsu Cypress has been a solid 10/10 experience thus far. I have been attending classes for the past month and I have nothing but great things to say about the facility and head coach, Joe Sirju. I would like to start by saying that the coach ensures a clean sanitary place. He takes pride in his gym and it shows in all aspects. Secondly, his attitude and tone is a very friendly, affirming approach. He has made me look forward going into each class and ensures an educational, safe teaching. He is very knowledgeable in his practice and helps students of all ages have a clear understanding. With that being said, I would highly recommend Active Jui Jitsu Cypress to anyone who is considering joining. There is also a free trial class offered to first timers that is a great way to put your foot in the door and see if it’s suitable for you!
My 2 boys enjoy this school very much. It’s good exercise for them and builds discipline!
Awesome gym with super skilled and experienced coach. Most importantly great, respectful culture of martial artists that want to see you grow. Coach Joe has done great work.
Great instructor, plenty of flexible classes, my daughter loves it
I found the active Jiu Jitsu cypress via Google search and enrolled both of my boys for a free trial class. My boys (6,8 age) love going to class as they have tons of fun and learn new skills. If you are looking for an extra curriculum activity for your kids or yourself this is a good option to look into.
Joe is an awesome professor! Great group of people. Fosters a positive and welcoming environment and amazing resources. The app is a helpful way to go over your skills too.
great time, loved the energy and everyone is so helpful
What a great environment totally comforting and friendly.Everyone treats each other very well.There is absolutely hard work in this gym.And I am very grateful to have found a place my daughter can grow and be treated with dignity and respect .
I had an amazing experience! I took the free trial class with my friends to try something new and I wasn’t disappointed. We had an amazing instructor who taught us real life applicable skills for self defense and now I am very confident I’d be able to protect myself if I ever got attacked. It was fun yet informative and I’m considering paying for classes.
My experience was amazing!!! I took a free self defense class and even though it was free, my instructor was still very hands on and involved to made sure I was doing everything right so I would know what to do if I was ever attacked. I would definitely take this class again and I would recommend it to everyone who wants to know more about protecting themselves!!!
Very educational and demonstrated well. Had so much fun and plan to hopefully sign my brother up. Professor Joe was informative and active.
I honestly didn’t know jujitsu was this much fun. Very interactive and definitely a good form of exercise both physically and mentally. Friendly guys and always ready to help. I’m definitely recommending to all my friends and family.
A very nice experience with small class setting. You will definitely get some good one on one training. These can be good skills to learn so you can apply for safety measures.
I did the women’s self defense class with a friend and it was genuinely great. We were taught a lot of things that could be helpful for our safety, but even more than that everyone there was kind, open, and respectful. If you have doubts about this place, don’t. They’re honestly amazing.
I recently went to a trial class, and it went well. The instructor is very clear and welcoming and overall there is a good direction and it is not as intimidating as it would seem to attend classes.
I Ben to this bjj school all I can tell it’s a good team professional training with good professor teach you all the technique you need I love it
I randomly received an advertisement on Facebook for a Jiu Jitsu summer camp for my kids and filled out the information for more details. The coach recommended a free consultation which is basically a free class to see if my kids would enjoy the training. If you are familiar with this type of martial art, this isn’t for everyone. My kids loved it, especially my 6 year old daughter. I was surprised to see how engaged she was and her ability to pick up in the concepts quickly. My son 9 years old had a great time as well. We signed them up for the summer camp. Excited to see the progress at the end of the summer.
Joe is an amazing instructor and we are glad we found him as he supports the growth and development of my son and husband in Jiu Jitsu and Kick Boxing. Just Love it.
Fantastic experience at Active Jiu Jitsu Cypress! The instructor Coach Joe is incredibly knowledgeable and supportive, creating a welcoming environment for both beginners and advanced practitioners. The facilities are clean and well-equipped, making each session enjoyable and effective. Highly recommend for anyone looking to improve their skills and confidence in a friendly, professional setting!"
Joe's a personable and patient instructor. I took my 4 year old son here for his first jiu jitsu lessons. I think this age group might be a little too young for jiu jitsu in general but my son did catch on quickly. We're going to return when he's a little older but I think Joe did a great job at sparking his interest.
Coach Joe is great! I took a women’s self defense class and he was very knowledgeable and professional. I recommended his classes!
I am so happy to have found this gym. It's been a very welcoming, and comfortable environment for both my daughter and I to train. Safety while training is something that I personally hold in high priority, and this gym meets that expectation to the letter. Professor Joe is so patient, and very informative not only with his instruction, but he is wonderful at answering any and all questions that you may have with technique, or training. I feel so much personal growth in just the short time that I have been here, and am looking forward to the journey ahead.
This is a great gym, the owner/head coach Joseph was very knowledgeable, welcoming and helpful. I highly recommend this gym to everyone.
Joseph is a great coach and a class act guy. I have been teammates with and coached by him, to say that he’s there for his students and teammates would be an understatement He’s very knowledgeable in grappling overall, and has a great way of explaining things. He has coached myself and others at competitions even though we’re under a different gym, it says a lot about him as a person. I highly recommend his gym to anyone.
Coach Joe and Johnny are the best! My son and I enjoy coming to train at this gym. The coaches are patient and attentive. Nice chill and fun environment to train jiu jitsu!
We reviewed many BJJ locations and this one was for us. My husband and both boys 18 & 7 love it. Coaches are great no matter the experience level.
My son has been with Active Jiu Jitsu cypress for a year now. And he loves it there the coach’s are really nice.
I have my 10 yo daughter enrolled and I loved seeing the growth in her. Professor Joe and Coach Johnny are the best because they have a heart for the kids growth in the sport. They don’t rush or over teach, they take their time in making sure techniques and skills stick. The fact there are beginner and advanced classes for the kids is an amazing perk for my daughter. Love it here!
WE LOVE ACTIVE JIU JITSU💕! My son has been coming to Active for almost 3 months and I’ve already seen so much growth and confidence! Coach Joe and Coach Johnny are amazing instructors. Would HIGHLY recommend giving them a try!
My son has been coming here for a few months now. They do great handling him. He can be a little difficult and the patience they show really means a lot to me as a mom. I've seen a difference in my son since we started. It's helped curve some of his ADHD and Asperger's symptoms. He seems more disciplined now too. I would recommend this facility to anytime looking to try Jiu Jitsu.
Very fun environment to be in and everybody is helpful for beginner, coaches are very patient. Love being apart of this Jiu Jitsu community!
Professor Joe and Coach Johnny are amazing teachers and have a great patience with the kids which helps each student to learn and improve with their own pace.Its a fun and safe learning environment and would highly recommend!!!
I really enjoy attending Active Jiu Jitsu Cypress. The instructors are very patient, thorough, and seem to enjoy what they do. I’d recommend them to anyone young or old that’s willing to put in the work to learn and get better.
Very welcoming environment at this gym. Lots of opportunity for personal growth and a supportive coaching staff. 🤙🏻
Great place to train , great place to practice and learn , coach joe and Johnny have a lot of knowledge to shared , very technical and experience
Great gym. Joe and Jonny are outstanding at what they do. highly recommend.
Coach Joe and Coach Johnny have amazing patience with the kids. My son loves going! He has learned so much!!
Great price. It helps my son grow confidence in himself. Friendly environment. Joe and Johnny are great with the kids.
Being one of the first people to join Active Jiu Jitsu Cypress the gym has grown exponentially. I’m able to call it a second home because how welcoming it is and the people who attend there are some of the best people you’ll ever meet. Both coaches Joe and Johnny have been great both on a personal and coaching level. They both make sure any questions are answered about a technique or demonstration of anything. You’re greeted before getting on the mat making the gym welcoming. They also help produce competitive people for competition against other Jiu Jitsu gyms. Both coach Joe and Johnny help me overcome my own internal obstacles as they helped me grow in confidence and patience. Truly the best at what the gym does.
Great place to train and learn. Professor Joe is an amazing teacher, and all the students reflect his great attitude and focus.
My kids love it here! Professor Joe and Coach Johnny have amazing patience with the kids. They really take time to make sure each child is understanding the moves they are teaching and will give extra help when needed. Definitely recommend!
Been attending for over a year and it's one of the best gyms I've ever been to. Instructors are top notch who care about the students' growth and personal safety. The vibe is very chill and makes everyone feel welcome regardless of age or experience. Would highly recommend to those thinking about it to give it a shot.
Professor Joe and Coach Johnny are extremely technical and have infinite patience for the students in both the adults and the kids classes. Having trained jiu jitsu for over 5 years, I have had the privilege of training at different schools and working some truly talented practicioners. So when I had the chance to drop by this gym, it had an atmosphere of friendliness and warmth. Overall, Active Jiu Jitsu Cypress has very chill vibes and is a great place for an individual to learn and grow in a fun and safe environment!
Got to join a Saturday woman's self-defense class and have to say it was a great experience! The coaches were amazing! Johnny, Gabby and Joe were all very nice, patient, and helpful when it came to teaching! Over all great facility and would highly recommend!
Great knowledgeable teachers who really care! Wish I could come more often! Their self defense class was great
Active Jiu Jitsu it’s such an amazing gym, previously I have never done Jiu Jitsu or any kind of wrestling, I gave this gym a try and immediately got attracted to their culture. Picking this gym has been one of my best decisions I’ve made, coaches Johnny and Joe make it so easy and understanding for everyone, the environment is very friendly it almost feels like one big family. Can’t wait to see how far I can go with my new hobby.
Love it the coaches are so nice and patient definitely recommend
Stepped on the mat for a first time several months ago with no grappling experience at all. If my schedule was clear, I would always try to find a way to show up. Last week, I registered for my very first championship and with coach Joe and Johnny’s help, I took home gold and silver for 2 divisions. Along with another student who won silver for division. Yay!
Perfecto para quienes quieren aprender o mejorar jiujitsu, mi hija es muy feliz en este lugar. Los maestros son excelentes personas! Recomendando 100%
Professor Joe and coach Johnny are super talented and are experts teaching their students BJJ . Super patient and very respectful with children .
My son is having a really positive experience. He looks forward to going. He smiles the whole hour. He is fully engaged the whole time. I love that they get into grappling practice right away. The folks that run it, Johnny & Joe, are great. My son has the opportunity to go 3 to 4 times a week so it is an incredible value.
Amazing teachers in a really good and safe learning environment
Active Jiu Jitsu is great for those who are newcomers and for the seasoned. These guys have a wealth of knowledge and a passion for BJJ that can’t be matched. They are patient with adults and children while still pushing individuals to their maximum potential. I wouldn’t send my kids anywhere else. Keep up the good work guys!
My son and I have trained with Joseph Sirju at his previous school. He is a top notch person, mentor and instructor. He is very knowledgeable of BJJ and enjoys taking the time to teach others. I wish he was still at my school and he is missed, but I know that he needs to spread his knowledge and enthusiasm to others. I highly recommend Active Jiu Jitsu Cypress and the entire Active Jiu Jitsu network.
Joe and Johnny have created a great environment to learn the art of Jiu Jitsu. If you’re looking for a place that will welcome and grow both new and skilled Jiu Jitsu students, this place is where you need to be.
I noticed their sign while driving home early last week and decided to look them up when I got home. So glad I did! After filling out the contact form on their website, I expected it to be a couple of days before I heard from anyone as is usually the case with most business. Imagine my surprise when I received a text from one of the coaches telling me that he would reach out later that evening. Great first impression. Within a couple of hours, Coach Johnny and i began corresponding over text. I explained what I was looking for in a school in great detail. Instead of hurrying me along or pushing me to join, Coach Johnny listened to every concern and then addressed each one, also in detail. He invited my children one child, one tween, and I to visit the following day. Life happens and we weren’t able to make it but Coach Johnny happily rescheduled our visit. His demeanor gave me the impression that he wasn’t doing it solely for scheduling a “sale”, he wanted to know when we were coming in order to make arrangements to give us the attention we needed as prospective students. He really cared that we got the attention and information we needed. We visited last night and all of my initial impressions were confirmed. Although it is a small school that’s only recently opened, the mat space was large and clean, the instructors, Professor Joe and Coach Johnny were attentive and welcoming. I felt at home right away. The kids took part in the Little Warriors class and I was impressed by not only their teaching curriculum but the patience and attention given to each student. Both instructors have a way of meeting each student at their level and tailoring the instruction to their needs. The class was fun as well as instructional. My kids warmed up, played games related to the technique they would learn that day. Then the technique was demonstrated, then practiced, and the class then wound down with another technique related game. My wife is an educator so though her I’ve been made very aware of the challenges of teaching kids. These guys have it down. They made learning fun and we’re able to keep the fun going while being able to refocus the kids attention when the began to stray. The class was the perfect size, plenty of mat space. Needless to say, we will be back. Do yourself a favor. If you’re looking for a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu school with a personal touch, none of the ego that can be prevalent in the franchise and boutique schools, Active Jiu-Jitsu may be the place for you. Give the a call or fill out the contact form on their website. Disclaimer: I am not affiliated with Active BJJ nor was I reimbursed by them in any way for this review
If you are looking for a fun and safe environment for you or your kids to learn jiu jitsu, then Active Jiu Jitsu is the best choice in Cypress!
Very knowledgeable and highly recommended! All levels will feel comfortable training here.
Definitely recommend Active Jiu Jitsu Cypress for both newcomers and seasoned practitioners. Joe and Johnny are passionate about sharing their knowledge and each class feels like a private lesson. Stop by and try a class.
I just started going to the BJJ Essentials class and I LOVE it. The instructors (Joe & Johnny) are so welcoming and detail oriented. They definitely know how to guide, train, and encourage newbies like myself. Looking forward to consistently training w/ them!
Best place! Love the trainers, great people. If you haven't try it would said do it!
As someone who is new to Jiu Jitsu, the instructor was very welcoming and informative. If you’re curious about Jiu Jitsu or looking to improve your skills, go check out this place!
A fun, hard working environment that allows a student to improve at their own pace. You don't feel pressured to be the next UFC sensation but learn to protect yourself. Joe is an amazing instructor.
Joe is attentive, respectful and one of the realest people I know. His loyalty and dedication will take any student who is looking to join for community or for the athlete that is looking to compete to take their game to the next level, I strongly recommend!
Great facility with well versed instructors
Amazing gym! Great instructor and great people! A really good place if you’re looking to get into Jiu Jitsu!!
I’ve trained with a lot of people in my time and none are as detailed and versatile as Joseph Sirju. He know the ins and outs of Jiu Jitsu and is a amazing teacher, if you are interested in being a future competitor or just training for heath and safety you couldn’t ask for a better instructor.
Great place to learn Jiu Jitsu. Trainers are amazing. Very kind and great to work with.
