I recently moved the Bronx and was looking for a Brazilian jiu jitsu academy that had morning and night class, I checked this place out and instantly became family. The instructors are very versatile in Brazilian jiu jitsu and I’ve been here for a year and half already. And this place is everybody friendly
The coaches at Bronx Jiu-Jitsu are incredible. I have no complaints, only great things to say about this place and the people I’ve had the pleasure of learning from. Started coming right before autumn of this year and I can’t wait to continue training to see my progress over time. I agree with everyone else’s reviews regarding the care of the coaches towards the students, they’re attentive and strive to see you improve. What more could you ask for?!
My son has been a student at BXJJ since he was six years old and now he is thirteen. It has been integral in his life for the past seven years. All the coaches have helped shape him into the young man he has become. Through training, he has learned the values of hard work, winning and losing, being humble, listening, competing and so much more. He always wants to go to class and has built many friendships with his classmates. It has become a part of his identity. Whether you are looking for your child or yourself, you will receive excellent training with a supportive community.
I've been training at Bronx jiu-jitsu for 7 months and it has been the best experience I've had with a martial arts gym. You can tell that the instructors care very deeply for teaching this sport and are always willing to help correct any mistakes I make. The upper belts are also very willing to help work with me and other new/white belts. This place has become a second family for me.
Great coaches and environment. Feels like a family
I absolutely love BX Jiu Jitsu. The coaches are fantastic and really care about all the students. I have seen my son grow into a passionate and skilled student. He looks forward to class every week!
Bronx Jiu-Jitsu is a safe and clean place to train Jiu-Jitsu. I have been training proudly for over 8 years at BxJJ. I consider Professor Junior (the owner) to be my brother. The instructions I have received from Junior, Luis and Michael have been life changing to say the least. They each provide a unique perspective and approach to Jiu-Jitsu. My personal life has also been positively impacted by Bronx Jiu-Jitsu. My confidence and overall stamina has improved drastically. I would recommend this place to anyone at any stage in life especially if you are looking to achieve a deeper shelf awareness. See you on the mats... Oss 🤙🏾
Great Community! Coaches are patient and very knowledgeable. One if not the best jiu-jitsu here in the Bronx.
I love the attention that they give to each individual student on the mat, as well as off it. My daughter loves it.
Best training you will receive from people who take pleasure in watching you excel. Other gyms you’re just a payment, here the instructors pull the best out of each individual person because your success is personal to them. No matter what your goal is.
I’ve seen such an improvement with both my kids who joined a few months ago. The investment made on their mental and physical strength has no price. The coaches have a great way of connecting with all kids and are really patient and take the time to teach. My kids really enjoy the classes and the friends they’ve been making.

My kids have been learning these skills for the past 2 years. It's a great place. The coaches are great with the kids teaching them not only jiu-jitsu but also life skills and self-respect as well to others . Each month there are new code that teach them values. I definitely recommend Bronx jiu-jitsu to all parents and their kids.
They are very great with kids. They make sure your child learn how to have fun in the process skills and discipline
I bring my son here to train whenever he comes to visit me. The school is super professional with professors who compete and understand the sport. I highly recommend
great place to learn with exceptional people..
This place is so much fun to learn and just vibe... Still my spot
Very small facility but it serves its purpose and the owner is a great guy
Very clean, great crowd, detailed teaching. I hope to train with them again soon.
Great school! Solid instructors, friendly environment and affordable
Great academy! Super welcoming with a friendly atmosphere, top instruction and great rounds! 👍🏽
This is one of the best gyms around I ever been to. I’ve trained in a lot of places and this place is for sure one of the best.
Beyond happy with this school. My son is always looking forward to his classes. Bronx jiujitsu is not only a place where you can train and learn new skill, its also a place where kids learn discipline and to be responsible. Couches are very professional and the staff always friendly.
I love Bronx Jiu Jitsu! All of the coaches are professional, patient, and dedicated to all of the students and their needs. Not only do they teach martial arts but they teach life lessons that the kids can use in their everyday life and make it fun! I am so happy I found Bronx Jiu Jitsu.
Junior is an outstanding Coach and Training Partner of mine and Alex's for many years in New York. You will learn high quality techniques and movements along with a friendly welcoming atmosphere. Definitely come to BX JiuJitsu if you want to improve your grappling IQ.
From the moment my son began to attend the gym 2.5 years ago I have been very pleased with the level of training the children receive and how the coaches challenge them weekly with new moves. The coaches are very dedicated, experienced, and committed to seeing the children improve and it shows... The atmosphere is very family friendly and welcoming. It's not all seriousness they have fun too :) The kids love to play a little game time at the end of class.
Highly recommended! Came in not knowing anyone and have created my own little family in the Bronx! Couldn’t have asked for a better gym and group of people to be around!
Been with Bronx Jiu Jitsu since 2015. Family oriented . Team and energy is unbelievable. Always learning. Always grinding. Great teammates. Coaches and professors are always at the ready to drop them jewels of BJJ knowledge. Personally , it transforms you to a different mindset when your feet touch the mat.
Very clean , professional, kids love going & they get to learn but more importantly also have fun
I have been a student in Bronx Jiu Jitsu for about 2 years. This school is well organized, professional, and provides quality training in BJJ. It’s a great school for beginners and more advanced students. From my first day on the mats I felt welcomed and at home.
We Love Bronx Jiu Jitsu! As a mother of a teenager I am so happy my son has a place to go that is filled with caring, supportive and motivating coaches. Bronx Jiu Jitsu does a wonderful job helping its students learn to grow in their physical, mental and social well-being. Thank you for a safe and dedicated environment to learn and grow.
If your looking for great training and in the the Bronx area definitely head over to Bronx Jiu Jitsu where Professor Ortega runs an excellent program for both adults and children!
Great academy for all ages young and old. Very very welcoming and family oriented. I’d still be training here if I didn’t move and you won’t find another academy like BXJJ ❤️.
When you want to learn jiu jitsu well Bronx Jiu jitsu is the place the instructors are great plus the place is clean. What is really awesome is that the instructors on this gym makes sure that you are learning, and improving your skill everyday on the mat.
No matter what your goals are as a martial artist, you will be able to accomplish them here. Incredible coaches and vibe. This is the place you are looking for.
Excellent place to learn Martial Art Professor Junior and his staff are kind and knowledgeable. This is not a McDojo, if you're looking for a professional and fun place to learn Jiu-Jitsu this is it. Good for kids and adults.
Bronx Jiu Jitsu is a wholesome environment like no other. It's a great place for people of all backgrounds and skill levels to train. The dedicated students make this place a wholesome and fun for people just looking to grow and enjoy themselves, but also scratches that competitive itch if you're looking for it. This school has cultivated so many dedicated BJJ athletes.
I highly recommend Bronx Jiujitsu. Both my daughters are in their kids program, they love it and always look forward to their classes! The coaches are dedicated, knowledgeable and patient with all kids. I recently signed up for the adult program and have already learned so much. Great place, great coaches - all around great vibe - what more can you ask for?
Super contenta de haber encontrado este lugar para mi hijo. BJJ es un negocio familiar lo cual indica mayor calidad y trato personalizado a cada cliente. Mi hijo y yo estamos super contento y por lo tanto recomendamos BJJ si esta en busqueda de proveer a su hijo o a usted mismo una herramienta de vida como es el Jiu Jitsu.
Family-owned school with professional and friendly instructors. My son looks forward to his classes. They really know how to keep kids interested and focused.
BJJ is a daily life training. Before I joined, I contacted multiple schools. Obviously all the BJJ schools and instructors are great but Bronx Jiu Jitsu gave me an amazing feeling. Attitude & first impressions are very important. Furthermore, the passion for BJJ among the instructors are great. I recommend everyone specially women, Law Enforcement Officers and children should have this experience.
An amazing place to train, the coaches will push you beyond your limits and your will achieve your goals as long as you stay dedicated as they are dedicated to you.
Best gym in the bx. The technique is phenomenal aswell as the work ethic. Family oriented
Bronx Jiu-Jitsu is my all-time favorite place to be! I was welcomed to be part of a family that is well-knit, supportive, and caring. Obviously, I couldn't have learned so much without the help and support of my coaches, so the motivation and push to be greater and better is consistent while training here. Without a doubt, I couldn't have found a better place to base my Jiu-Jitsu foundations from. If you're looking for a new place to train or you're just starting out, look no further than Bronx Jiu-Jitsu!
I’ve been training here since may 2021. Professors junior and Luis are very professional and show patience and support for all their students. Their knowledge of jiu jitsu is incredible. This gym is family friendly and I highly recommend for anyone. I can’t wait to start my kids here when they get old enough.
In this present world, at this moment we are faced with many physical and mental debacles. This facility cannot be considered a school for it has helped personally cope with what has and continues to transpire. It is a temple that has alleviated the tumultuous worldly events, and healed every aspect of mind, body and spirit. Highly recommend this place to help you come out of your comfort zone!
Best atmosphere. Amazing knowledge from all coaches. Good people. Best times. Amazing area. Right near a train station and several bus stations. 5 stars
This place has become second home for my kids, from the events at the school to training multiple times a week. As a parent I can’t ask for a better place to have my kids learn jiu jitsu, life lessons, veggie reports and ninja ball!. The coaches are amazing and they handle the kids really well! My kids have progressed in bjj so much and I’m really proud of them and the Bxjj school. Please drop in for information or call and see you on the mats…
I purchased their four week trial back in May of 2021. I was very nervous about trying jiujutsu, but the instructors here were very welcoming. Despite being instructors, they were very helpful and personable. They never made me feel like I couldn’t ask questions or could not come to them for help. All the instructors here are extremely knowledgeable and well respected in the gym. They emphasize a safe learning environment centered around family. That sense of being apart of a jiujutsu family is what got me to continue my training past the four week trial!
My son attended this studio as a kid and now as an adult. Great coaches and very organized.
My daughter loves the class! She likes the socialization aspect but I like the exercise and structure as well as the “can do” attitude of the instructors.
I was looking for a place to train and I randomly typed in BJJ in the Bronx and I found this school in 2018. I was going through a rough time and needed an outlet. I took the one month trial class and they were friendly and courteous, after my trial was up I knew this was the school to stay with. I know most schools give off the persona of family. Bronx Jiu Jitsu is the prime example of that and I wouldn’t choose anything else.
Best gym in the Bronx! The best decision I made was join this gym as it not only helped my fitness but also create a great group of friends I can call family!
No encontré mejor para lugar para mis hijos, ellos les encanta ir a Jiutjitusu, tanto ellos, como yo nos sentimos muy bien, los coach son muy profesionales, saben tratar muy bien a los niños y todo al que allí asiste…Siempre lo recomendaría 💯
I am beyond happy with Bronx Jiu Jitsu! They are family oriented that has made my son comfortable as well as myself! I am so happy that we chose Bronx Jiu Jitsu! Many blessings to all the staff running this amazing school! Thank you!
My daughter started Jiu Jitsu for the first time with BXJJ. The coaches have been great handling the kids. My daughter looks forward to training and has learned a lot, gained confidence, and is starting to pick up a very applicable skill. Can’t recommend this place enough.
This Gym is absolutely amazing!!! Every coach is super attentive and caring. I’ve been a member for 6+ months I’ve never had an issue . Everyone has been so patient and helpful with my own journey. The people I’ve met aren’t just training partners they’ve become family . I highly recommend this Gym . Professor Junior and Lou are the BEST!!!!! Along with everyone else at Bronx Jiu Jitsu ….. NOW go sign up you won’t regret it !!!!!
I’ve been in gyms for over thirty years, and none has made me feel more comfortable than this one. I may be a bit biased, because Prof. Ortega was my teammate for years, but he and his crew at BXJJ is top notch. I’m a black belt in BJJ, Judo and Japanese Jiu Jitsu, and when I sold my own school and left my old coach, I knew there was only one person for me to train with. In just six weeks at BXJJ, my game has already evolved. For the perfect blend of old school basics and new school cutting edge techniques along with a warm, exciting atmosphere, Bronx Jiu Jitsu is the spot.
I trained here few years ago, and the coaches are very good and professional, I remember one guy held a submission a little longer than her should've and junior the instructor, took it pretty seriously, it was much appreciated, and every student should feel they should be able to trust the tap. Great experience none the less here.
This is a great place to train. Excellent energy. Everyone is kind, passionate, and interested in your development as a grappler. The best Jiu Jitsu gym I've been to in NYC.
The atmosphere at Bronx Jiu Jitsu is very welcoming. Each instructor / coach is extremely passionate about the art. They train very hard and do an excellent job at training their students.
This is a great gym!
A great place for adults and children to train, get in shape, and build confidence. The coaches are the best and classmates are helpful and supportive. Family like atmosphere and the school is clean and modern. I proudly joined Bronx Jiu-Jitsu and became a member!
I started training here because it was close to the library where I worked but it quickly became a second home to me. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable. There is a family vibe to the school that is amazing and welcoming but if you want to get competitive and turn it up a notch there is room for that too. Whenever I'm in NYC I make sure that I get training in on these mats. If you've never done Jiu-Jitsu before give it a try and it will change your life. If you are looking for a place to continue your Jiu-Jitsu journey this is a wonderful place to learn.
This school offers great instructors, great teammates and great rolls. My son started training there in March of 2018 and even though we had to move shortly after, he still goes back to train there occasionally and is always welcomed with open arms.
I’ll start the review off by stating that I love Bronx Jiu Jitsu and if you live/work in the area and are considering trying it…you definitely should. In the 4 or so years before walking into BXJJ in August 2018 I had taken somewhere between 5 and 10 jiu-jitsu classes at about 4 different locations between DC and NY. Despite feeling like this was something I really wanted to do, I was never able to find the right place until BXJJ. This review is going to be broken down into what I feel are the relevant aspects of what makes this place special: COST: You will not find a better bang for your buck in terms of cost per class than this. Jiu-jitsu can be an expensive pursuit, especially if/when you really get into it (tournament fees, gis, rash guards, special seminars, etc.) so it’s a huge benefit to take classes at a gym that never makes you feel like you’re being price gouged. That applies to both the regular membership rates as well as the really, really fantastic introductory month specials. ATMOSPHERE: One of the issues I had with the previous places I tried to take jiu-jitsu classes was the stiff atmosphere. Yes, martial arts is serious business, but I’m also a firm believer in occasionally laughing. You’ll find that everyone from the instructors to the students is more than willing to laugh at themselves and each other and that makes it an easy place to be a newcomer and ask questions. At the same time, it is also a really welcoming place where many of the people you meet take tons of classes there and, as a result, are totally comfortable helping you out one on one when something that is taught in class goes over your head. TEACHING: Phenomenal. One of the things that I most appreciate is that you never feel like you are part of a jiu-jitsu factory. Instructors take the time to learn your name/about you and they take care in observing everyone when it’s time to roll so that you get personalized/actionable feedback. I can credit so much of my progress not just to what we are learning within the structure of the 1 hour class, but to the time instructors willingly take to break stuff down with me after class (related, it helps that they try not to pile classes on top of one another back to back to back so there is room for that). FACILITIES: The mats/training area does not stink. This might seem like a little thing, but…go to enough jiu jitsu gyms and trust me you will appreciate this.
If you want to learn jiu-jitsu and are looking for a place to train, come check this place out. You won't be disappointed
Bronx Jiu Jitsu has become more than just a home away from home - it’s a place of growth and exploration. If you want the most detailed and didactic instruction possible, this is the right place for you. Soon I’ll have been here for 3 years and I refuse to be anywhere else. The family atmosphere, competitive nature (if you wish to compete), and the amazing workout/lesson you receive every class makes it worth the next time. Even the most frustrating days lead to some sort of growth in you as an individual and a martial artist. People come here with all sorts of goals in mind, and every single one will be met here.
great organization. we drive from westchester (which i hate) to come down here since my son really likes the instructors and kids here, and didn't want to switch to somewhere closer. now if i can only motivate my fat butt to train with him... :P
My Son is turning 6 and has been going to BJJ for a little over 1 year. X3 days a week and he loves it! We love it as the coaches & staff are extraordinary role models that create an environment of learning, discipline, development, focus & fun . The coaches and younger assistants make classes at a level of one on one training. It's amazing to see the attention each individual student gets. Truly great development opportunity for any parent to provide there kids.
Awesome place with amazing instructors and a great vibe overall.
I've been here for roughly 6 1/2 years. Founding member. This place is like family. I'd never leave.
A MUST! I’ve been going here for a little over a month now and I LOVE LOVE LOVE it. The environment is like a big family, they all want to help you, other higher belts don’t mind practicing with you and slowly taking you step by step! My husband and I updated to the membership 3 weeks after getting the trial (because We wanted to) My husband is already looking into championships to go into, not to mention that he goes as much as he can, even the days I’m not able to come.
Great place to train. The staff, students, and facility are incredible. The professors always go above and beyond. I highly recommend it. Do not think twice about checking out Bronx Jiu-Jitsu.
Our family loves BRONX Jiu Jitsu! My 5 y/o son as been attending the school for approximately 1.5 years. We’ve seen tremendous growth in his confidence, coordination, and strength. All of the coaches are dedicated and extremely knowledgeable. The environment is impeccably clean and it’s very family friendly. I would highly recommend BXJJ
Great place for kids to learn discipline while being in a fun environment surrounded by great instructors!
One of the best dojos to train Brazilian/Japanese Jiu-jitsu if you want to compete, gain confidence and simply learn self-defense. But don't only take my word for it, join!! You won't be disappointed.
Very positive place to be with people that take you in as family. You learn a lot and coaches are good at making sure you understand and perform the material correctly. Definitely would recommend anyone to come and bring your family as well. Very clean and safe indoor training area. 👍🏾
My daughter joined Bronx Jiu-Jitsu in August 2017. Within two months, we noticed she was more confident and alert. The coaches at Bronx Jiu-Jitsu make the classes and training fun. The kids learn quickly and are taught advanced skills when ready, and are pushed when needed. It’s a place where you feel immediately welcomed and feel like you are one big family.
Bronx Jiu Jitsu is a very friendly and high-energy facility! They know how to motivate and teach students of all ages very well. Their leaders and instructors are the absolute best. They really know what they're doing here!!
The coaches and students are some of the best people I’ve met in my life and they’ve taught me skills I would have never learned otherwise. I recommend this school to everyone interested in learning the art BJJ.
Absolutely love this place and the instructors. Highly recommend this place to anyone from beginners to the most experienced students. Thanks for being awesome 🤙🏼
Family Friendly BJJ School in the Bronx. This is a family owned business headed by a BJJ Black Belt - you can't find any better in the area!
Love this place it's a great Academy, with knowledgeable instructors. Made me feel like part of the family from the day I walked through the doors. All the students are great at passing on any knowledge they have to you without giving it a second thought.
One of the best BJJ schools I have ever been to! After moving to the Bronx I felt lost not being able to find a gym untill I walked into BRONX BJJ! Juan “Junior” Ortega is a fantastic instructor and along with the great group of men and Women who are more then willing to help a new person feel welcome I think this would be a Perfect place for anyone at any level in their jujitsu journey to join! I will be coming here for a long time!
I have been training here for over 4 years and I have the same amazing experience from the moment I stepped through the door. The instructors are the best you can find in the Bronx and are staunchly dedicated to the martial arts and ensure they project those same emotions and ethics to each and every student. Students typically follow the example set by the head instructors in leaving egos at the door and are inviting to new faces. The academy is great mixture between top level instruction and also for busting out a great sweat and meeting your fitness goals. The community in the academy formed by these individuals and their involvement in the greater Martial Arts community is an ideal place for anybody with any level of interest. Definitely the number one choice in martial arts in the Bronx!
Wonderful academy!! If you're looking for a dojo specializing in authentic Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and ego-free environment, look no further. Our head coach, Professor Junior Ortega is an excellent teacher and a true lover of the art. He is patient, approachable, and humble as it reflects in his academy and students. With his great attention to detail he is an instructor who will invest his time into YOU his student. As a woman and single mother to blindly step into a dojo that specializes in this combative male-dominated sport I can say the staff at Bronx Jiu-Jitsu has successfully cultivated a culture of true fellowship. This amazing team will pour into you on and off the mats. My son (5yrs) and I have been attending this school for 2 years now and I am proud to call them my team, it has become my second home. Hands down the best atmosphere to learn Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in the Bronx/NYC region. Any school without these qualities is unacceptable. Try us out!
Bronx Jiu Jitsu isn't just a place to get amazing training, its a place where you can feel like family!
I've been going to bronx jiujitsu for a year and a couple of months now and just yesterday I was promoted to blue belt from professor Junior. To have reached a milestone in my jiujitsu journey, I would have never imagined it in a million years. I remember when I first walked inside of bxjj, scared. I was a very timid and nervous person... never gave things a chance, I had this mentality where I would just set myself up for failure by always telling myself I can't do it before giving things a try. Jiujitsu is hands down one of the hardest things I've ever done (and doing)Had a hard time doing warmups, picking up on things. Most days it was hard. It's taxing emotionally and mentally. Physically as well. All these aches and pains through the day...Didn't think I would even last... It for sure has not been easy. But by the same token, jiujitsu has been so rewarding to me. Along the way I noticed how it's helped me grow as a person. I'm not afraid to do things. I give things a chance. I can walk up to people and start a conversation. Jiujitsu has helped me be comfortable being uncomfortable. It's where I met awesome and amazing people I am happy to call my family. Idk why but I kept going. And going. Making sure I pack my gi in my bag so that I can take it to work with me the next day, that way I can go to class once I get out of work. Exhausted, ill still managed to make it to class on time.... I know it's just a belt and the grind still continues.. In all, if you want something, go for it and see it through. Learn and grow from it. Hard work pays off! I am grateful for Bronx jiujitsu, it has changed my life in more ways than one!
As a current student, I love the atmosphere and convenience of this school. The staff/coaches at this school, motivate you and push you to become the best you can be and take you to the next level in Jujitsu, as well as the teammates.
Excellent Location, Perfect size and community / family appeal, the instruction is world class, its run by two known Black Belts, a champion BJJ Black Belt and a 5th Dan Judo/JJ Black Belt (a beast with his hands), i loved the place so much that my daughter attends the kids classes and she has developed a similar bond with the kids at her level.
The Ortega brothers provide a safe haven in our neighborhood that is kid friendly, clean and affordable. Bronx Jiu-Jitsu employs interpersonal skills such as communication, listening, assertiveness, self-control and positive thinking. Bronx Jiu-Jitsu is the perfect place to keep my child active.
BRONX JIU JITSU is a wonderful place. The atmosphere is friendly. The instructors are fabulous and always positive. Staff is like family. Kids also learn leaderships skills, respecting others, punctuality skills besides the educational training classes. They work so well with the children. The atmosphere is always so positive. I highly commend BJJ! So stop by today and register!!
Bronx Jiu Jitsu is so much more then a school, its a home. From the day I enrolled my son they have been nothing but great with him. I have seen him learn and grow so much. Coach Jeson and Professor Junior have the perfect balance of structure while still keeping in mind they are training KIDS and making it fun. BJJ also supported myself and my family through a very difficult and personal time last year. I will forever be grateful for that.Every Saturday my son wakes up excited and ready to train. We love our BJJ family.
My children and I love it here. Amazing coaches and staff make you feel like you're family. I highly recommend this place for all young children and adults. Thank you Bronx Jiu-Jitsu for everything my children have learned and accomplished!!
Finding Bronx Jiu Jitsu has changed my life and I am so happy for it. I started going to Bronx Jiu Jitsu when I turned 35. It was my first time trying jiu jitsu and it has been the perfect place. There are a lot of women, which is great, but that doesn't matter--everyone is welcoming and supportive. Every class I leave feeling energized and happy. Jiu Jitsu is incredibly empowering; it feels amazing to learn how to use my body the way we do. It really has expanded my mind and it's definitely thanks to the instruction and community at Bronx Jiu Jitsu. I can't recommend them enough.
Bronx Jiu Jitsu is great environment to learn martial arts. With the help of the amazing staff and dedicated coaches, any of your personal goals can be achieved. Whether you're looking to lose a few pounds or get in shape, learn how to defend yourself, or become an active competitor, Professor Junior and Sensei Nate can help you get there!
I started training at Bronx Jiu-Jitsu in August 2016 and I can honestly say it has been nothing but a positive experience. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu can be an intimidating experience for anyone at first, but both the coaches and the members will welcome you with open arms. The coaches at Bronx Jiu-Jitsu are dedicated, patient, and want to see you grow. My little brother also attends the teens classes and I have watched him become not only a strong and confident fighter, but also a strong and confident person. If you are looking to learn Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, this is definitely the place to go!
Last week I called the main office number to inquire more information on pricing for the kids classes, after speaking to the gentleman on the phone I had stated that my child is hard of hearing, he then asked how much and I explained in detail. He proceeded to tell me that he wouldn’t know if it was possible because “If I tell her to stop and she doesn’t stop then it’s not going to work”. The fact that he was completely comfortable to discriminate over the phone and on top of that it’s illegal what he did. I will never recommend this place to anyone or give this place my money.
I never even got to take a class. I scheduled my free class, traveled all the way there (40 min ride one way), only to be told the class was too advanced for me. Even though it was an available option when registering. Not to mention the class is listed as BJJ 101. I listed on the questionnaire I was a beginner, so why didn't anyone notify me when I scheduled my class? I was confused and frustrated. I still decided to give them another chance and schedule the class over the phone the next day. Only for the receptionist to tell me the next available spot was 2 weeks later, when the instructor said to come back in two days. I don't even wait that long to see my doctor, why was my experience so difficult when I was trying to give them my money.
