Capitol Jiu Jitsu is such a nice gym! My daughter and I dropped in while we were in town for the weekend and we were immediately welcomed like we were part of the Capitol family. The gym is ultra clean, well laid out and family friendly. The rounds were tough but clean and fun. You can tell these guys LOVE Jiu Jitsu. Thank you Jenna, and the whole Capitol Family for welcoming us to your place. We will definitely be back.

I dropped in as a visiting white-belt and Capitol Jiu Jitsu was great! The coach took the time to come give me some tips and the team is super welcoming. You can tell by the posters and whiteboard that they have a great training regimen and teach a lot of technique. Will definitely be coming back!

I was in town for a few weeks and dropped in to train at Capitol Jiu Jitsu — I couldn’t have picked a better place! From the moment I walked in, the members were incredibly welcoming, and the owners were fantastic. The coaches are knowledgeable, supportive, and do a great job balancing technical instruction with hard training. The class schedule was convenient and offered plenty of options to get on the mats. It’s a tough room with a lot of high-level experience, but what really stood out to me was the culture — everyone is willing to teach, help, and push each other to improve. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced grappler, this gym has something to offer. I’d highly recommend Capitol Jiu Jitsu to anyone in the Sacramento area or just passing through like I was. I’ll definitely be back next time I’m in town!

We have been partaking in the Senior, or Longevity classes twice a week for over a year now. We are 64 and 68 yrs young. We both feel better all stretched out and flexible. Classes are a lot of body movement stretches and light lifting. Hips feel great! Hamstrings and glutes are stretched and healthy. We both like the personal training here at CJJ

Capitol Jiu Jitsu is simply fantastic. I moved from the LA area a year ago, and thanks to a friend, I was immediately introduced to Capitol. I’ve had approximately 15 years experience with the sport and I had some concerns with my goals, wondering if any place can fulfill them. Day one, I knew I found my home. From the amateur, to the hobbyist, to the competitor, Capitol has no shortage of training partners. The coaching/ teaching is very high level and they are always learning like ourselves. It’s a highly familial, friendly vibe, and I highly recommend anyone new in town to pay them a visit. You won’t be disappointed. Wanted to thank coach Jibran and Garrett for making my experience so great from past to present!

Amazing Jiu Jitsu Gym I started jiu jitsu about 1.5 months ago and I regret not starting sooner. I had been thinking about starting for a long time and finally decided to check out Capitol Jiu Jitsu. I was hooked instantly! Everyone at Capitol Jiu Jitsu is so welcoming and friendly. The facility is very clean. The bathrooms, showers, and changing areas are all nice. The instructors (Gibran and Garrett) are extremely knowledgeable and are great at breaking down techniques. Capitol Jiu Jitsu is the only gym I've trained at, but I've talked to multiple people who have all said it's one of the best gyms they've trained at. I'd recommend Capitol Jiu Jitsu to everyone. If you've been thinking about starting jiu jitsu, come to Capitol Jiu Jitsu. If you just moved to town and need a gym, come to Capitol Jiu Jitsu. If you're looking to get into the best shape of your life and learn some cool moves, come to Capitol Jiu Jitsu.

As someone who began training Jiu Jitsu in the early 2000s, gyms at the time left a lot to be desired. The instruction tended to be unorganized, gym culture was tribal, and mats were often dirty. It left me wanting for a better way of learning and a healthier community. Thankfully, Capitol Jiu Jitsu is the result of discarding the negatives of the early days of BJJ in the US and transforming the training environment to maximize learning, culture, and fun. Technique/Instruction: Classes are taught in an organized manner, with clear progression and and understanding of the "why" behind the technique, instead of just learning a handful of random moves each class. The technique itself if top notch, coming from the instructors' experience in BJJ and MMA competition, as well as state-level wrestling. Culture: Members at Capitol train hard, but intelligently, and are friendly to regular training partners and visitors alike. I got the impression that the students were game, but also looking out for each other's safety. Facilities: In a world of strip mall martial arts schools with harsh fluorescent lights and plain walls, this academy's thoughtful aesthetic makes you proud to train there. It's sparkling clean and has the vibe of an upscale social club, with plenty of mat space, a full weight room, kickboxing bags, a sauna, and changing rooms with showers. What is even more amazing is that the membership is extremely reasonable compared to many other jiu jitsu academies that lack the same amenities. Closing thoughts: Capitol Jiu Jitsu sets the bar extremely high for quality of instruction, academy culture, and facilities. When I drop in at other gyms, this is the standard by which I compare them to. I highly recommend training at Capitol Jiu Jitsu, whether you live locally in Sacramento or are just dropping in from out of town. Tell Gibran that Ryan sent you, and ask him if his ankle still hurts from that footlock. See you on the mats ✌️

Capitol Jiu Jitsu is top notch! Great school all around. I’ve been training jiujitsu for 16 years and have trained all over California, several other states and few other countries. After moving to Sacramento a few years ago I started checking out various schools and I can only say great things about this one. I love the building and space, it has a lot of character, great design and layout, clean, and has a weight room too. The head instructor does a great job of welcoming outsiders and is very knowledgeable, respectful, and professional. Everyone I’ve met there was kind and friendly to us. If you’re looking for a place to train or looking to get started in jiujitsu I highly recommend this place. They also have a solid kids program that I would trust with my own kids (if I had any) or that I would recommend to my friends with kids. They also recently added Muay Thai classes which is super cool and the instructor was very nice when greeting me and seemed very competent as well. Overall great vibe here and a fun/safe place to learn!

Well to start I will say this place is excellent. You should definitely train here. Breaking it down further I have traveled all over the country stopping into gyms. I emailed the owner and he responded immediately inviting me to come drop in. As I arrived (parking can be difficult so come early). The gym is awesome. Old building lots of character has a weight room, sauna, shower facilities and cool lounge area. Most importantly it was clean. Mats were spotless. As I waited for class everyone was welcoming happy to engage in conversation and interested in what brought me to the gym. The class was taught by Garrett a black belt. His training was great. It incorporated solid basics and some cool new moves I have never been exposed to. Open mat was great. Rolled with a belts ranging from blue to black. All great people who wanted to learn and get better but nobody was trying to kill me or break my limbs off. This was a great experience and I will definitely be back. I even hung out with a few of the black belts later on and they were just great people. This is definitely the place you should come train. They are even opening a second location in Carmichael. Check them out

Exceptional Jiu-Jitsu Gym with a Strong Sense of Community I’ve been training at Capitol Jiu Jitsu for a year and a half now, and I couldn’t be more grateful. From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed by both the coaches and the members. The atmosphere is incredibly positive, with a perfect balance of friendly camaraderie and serious dedication to improving at Jiu-Jitsu. The instructors are top-notch — not only are they highly skilled, but they also take the time to explain techniques in detail, ensuring that students of all levels can understand and apply them effectively with a written out curriculum. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced practitioner, they offer personalized guidance that helps you grow. The attention to detail during each class, along with the focus on fundamentals, makes every lesson invaluable. Capitol Jiu Jitsu truly feels like a family where everyone encourages each other to be their best. The gym is the most beautiful I’ve ever been to with exposed brick, high ceilings and stained glass. Feels like the church you should’ve been going to your whole life. If you're looking for a place to train, whether you're interested in learning self-defense, getting in better shape, or competing in tournaments, there is a place for you here. Truly living up to the motto of jiujitsu for everyone. I’ve made incredible progress here, and I’m excited to continue my journey. Highly recommend!

I was on a work trip and I wanted to train at school that was close to my hotel. After sifting through some schools I found one, Capitol Jiu Jitsu. This school looks exactly how it feels, welcoming! When I walked in Coach Justin welcomed me and showed me where to find things. When I was stretching, I spoke to a few of the members and they were all great. The class was lead by the owner and Gibran Maciel and he too was welcoming and we had a great roll. I highly recommend this school for locals AND visitors. If I lived here, I could see myself at this school and it is my hope that when I do return in the future, I can visit Coach Gibran and his team at Capitol Jiu Jitsu! THANK YOU CAPITOL JIU JITSU!

Joined this gym back in May with very scant martial arts experience. I was drawn to the beginning Jiu Jitsu and Muay Thai classes for self defense and a good workout. I do those classes and the Mat Strong (weightlifting). The class times work great with my night shift schedule. This is a great gym for beginners with/without experience in martial arts. Good for adults, teens, families, women and men. Everyone has a great attitude to helping each other improve. The facility is nice with changing rooms, loaner gear, showers, and lounge areas. I genuinely look forward to going to the gym now and I’ve already seen great skill improvements in just 3 months attending classes 3-5x/week. I’ve already recommended the gym to several local friends.

I was visiting Sacramento for a few weeks and I wanted to find a solid gym so I wouldn’t get out of practice while I was out there. I looked around online and I thought I would give this gym a shot and Im very happy I did. The gym is very welcoming, has a high level of competition, and a great place if you’re visiting or looking for a place to start. I usually train in the gi so it was a culture shock training no-gi, but it was fun to train up my wrestling and get better at another style. Vibes are immaculate and they have cool t-shirts too. If I’m ever in the area again, definitely coming back.

I started jiu jitsu right before covid hit and bounced between a few gyms before I found Capitol Jiu Jitsu. The place instantly felt like a home. I felt super fortunate to walk into a gym and immediately be treated as a part of the team. No matter what level you're at, you'll always find value in training here. They offer so many classes that help cater to beginners and hobbyists, as well as those who want to take training more seriously and compete. One of my favorite aspects of CJJ was that the owner is constantly trying to provide more value by improving the facility and adding classes that offer boxing, muay thai, wrestling, strength training, and a few more. It isn't a huge building but they certainly make the most out of the space. Couldn't recommend this place enough. Don't be afraid to sign up if you've never trained before, there are new friends for you at CJJ.

Capitol Jiu Jitsu is an amazing place to train jiu jitsu, whether it's your first day or 10th year, and to just grow as a human being. Very safe and clean space, the instruction is clear and digestible for all skill levels, and everyone treats each other with dignity and respect. The culture here begins with the coaches, but infectiously lives within every member. Everyone is welcoming and eager to help each other learn and improve. If you forget something valuable after practice, rest assured it will be there when you come back. There isn't a better environment to be in if you're going to put your neck on the line (literally)! The schedule of classes is great for the various jobs out there. You can get your training in early in the AM, lunchtime, or in the evenings. Saturdays have a class for you and a second open mat on Sundays. They have a fantastic strength and conditioning coach with Nick, as well as an experienced Muy Thai instructor with Justin. If you have kids, they have classes for the little rugrats too. You will challenge yourself everyday here, but you'll have a smile while doing it, and I think that speaks volumes about Capitol Jiu Jitsu and its community.

The no gi classes I attended were well-structured, starting with a comprehensive warm-up that included both solo drills and partner exercises. The instructor was knowledgeable and had a clear and effective teaching style. During the technique portion, we focused on a series of leg locks and submissions that built on one another, ensuring that everyone, from beginners to advanced students, could follow along and grasp the concepts. The instructor took the time to correct individual mistakes and offer personalized feedback. The sparring sessions were at a good pace and controlled. Overall, my experience training at Capitol Jiujitsu was fantastic and I was glad I could find somewhere to train while away from home.

If you’re new to the sport, Capitol Jiu Jitsu is a fantastic place to start your journey. The coaches are welcoming, encouraging, knowledgeable, and genuinely excited to help their students learn and progress. The camaraderie amongst the members is awesome to witness and the more experienced folks are great resources to lean on when you have questions. I recently started taking private lessons and was set up with an incredible instructor, Kelvin Martinez, who plans out each session methodically and with purpose. He has really helped me get more comfortable being uncomfortable and constantly reminds me to be kind to myself. The sport is already hard enough and you will certainly feel like a fish out of water at first, but CJJ is a place free of ego and judgement. The positivity and good vibes not only make it fun, but also encourage you to keep pushing your limits.

My 15 year old son is a wrestler. I was looking for an Open Mat and found Capitol BJJ and Gibran. I emailed Gibran if we could train during is Open Mat schedule. Gibran got back to me quickly and said, "Sure, come down". When we got there, everyone was welcoming and the spot was awesome. Clean, great mats, good space. Gibran came over introduced himself, helped my son with techniques and even had one of his guys spar with my son. I would definitely recommend this place and will be back. Thank You again everyone at Capitol BJJ!

I can not stress how important Capital Jujitsu has been for me in this last year. I toyed with the idea of starting Jujitsu for about 5 years and the second I walked into the academy and met Gibran, I knew I had to join. Everyone is so nice, welcoming and encouraging and this is a true community that welcomes everyone regardless of skill level. Do yourself a favor and get in and start working. You will not regret it.

What a great gym! The gym was very warm and inviting. Everyone was super friendly. The head instructor couldn't be a nicer guy. Showed some awesome turtle attacks . I will definitely drop in again and If I lived in the area I would make it my home gym.

I signed up for capitol jiu jitsu back in July after taking a couple years off from training and it’s one of, if not the best place I have ever been a part of. Gibran runs a great program the fosters a lot of growth and competition without any ego or bullheadedness involved. Everyone who trains there is friendly and outgoing and they also have a great striking program ran by Justin and nick kills it on the strength and conditioning. I would highly recommend capitol to anyone who either wanted to continue and elevate their training or if they are a first timer who may feel nervous to start.

The culture here is excellent. Great instruction and the vibe is very open and friendly. I've trained at a lot of different gyms and Capitol Jiu Jitsu is definitely up there. They've been very welcoming the couple of times I've visited, and all of the students are technical and challenging rolls. The facilities are also top tier, including plentiful and clean mat space, a sweet strength and conditioning area, the thoughtful changing areas, showers, etc. -- a hard to find combination in any martial arts facility. If I lived in the area this would be my spot, 100%. Looking forward to returning here when I'm in town visiting family.

I came here with absolutely no grappling experience. I was hesitant to sign up not knowing how I would fit in as a beginner. During my trial class I got a sense that everyone wanted me to feel comfortable and welcome. Ive been attending for a couple months now, mostly taking the morning Jiu Jitsu classes, and some of the evening Muay Thai classes as well. The instructors, along with the other students have been more than helpful. It's nice to be a beginner and feel that everyone has your best interest in mind and wants to see you grow. This is a great spot, with a great community, Im completely hooked.

If you’re in search of the best all around Jiu Jitsu training school, look no further than Capitol Jiu Jitsu, Sacramento CA. Their team of seasoned professionals consistently exceeds my expectations. They took the time to understand my specific needs and provided me a tailored approach for my desired training regiment. There are no egos from the staff or students. Overall, the business is above reproach. I highly recommend Capitol Jiu Jitsu!

I trained at capitol jiu jitsu for a little while. I took the beginners class they offered, but they really encourage all students to go to all classes. The lesson plan for beginners is digestible and easy to follow, and all of the instructors are very welcoming and eager to help. Overall great environment for new or experienced people.

This place is amazing. Great vibe and great people. Was in town for a Jiu Jitsu tournament and dropped in. I was stunned by the style and cleanliness of the gym. The people were extremely welcoming. Definitely the place to check out if you are thinking about training or looking for a new spot in Sacramento.

Stopped in for a class while in town on business. Facility is beautiful, clean, and everyone was inviting and friendly. Class was fun and rolls at the end were tough!!! Capitol Jiu-Jitsu is definitely worth a visit if you are in the Sacramento area.

Spent awhile looking for the right gym and found it day one at capital. High level coaching that's easy to understand, classes that fit my crazy schedule and a bunch of knowledgeable and helpful teammates. Nothing but positivity there, won't find a better gym.
