Conveniently located in Boise, our martial arts classes are excellent choices for self-defense, discipline, and fitness for all ages & fitness levels.
It’s tricky to count the many different BJJ gyms in the valley and I haven’t been to any other locations except this one, with my son, because this was our first and last stop. We can all agree that there are many aspects to winning someone’s business, I can confidently say this business is easily 5 stars in all aspects. Thank you, Driven Jiujitsu, for creating an amazing environment in so many ways.
Posted 1 year agoDriven Jiu Jitsu has become a second home for my daughter where she feels welcomed, safe, and inspired. The kids are treated with kindness, respect, and dignity while also being held to high standards of behavior and character.
Posted 1 year agoI personally have always been apprehensive of martial arts as a true form of self protection. I grew up with friends in various martial art fields and it always seemed like such a money grab. Buy a gi. Buy a belt. Buy a useless foam weapon. Pay gym fee. Rinse repeat. Until I learned about Brazilian Ju Jitsu. It started with a coworker raving about how wonderful their gym was. At first I dismissed it...as most people do. The movies have made us predisposed to see martial arts in an "interesting" light. After a lot of convincing I took my 6 year old autistic daughter to a class. I figured why not. At worst she will make some friends. However, she did much more than that. Driven is such a supportive and all inclusive environment. I was shocked at how they treated my daughter (showing up in jeans and a slack tee btw). She received a loaner gi and hit the mats like she was one of the many other kids that train every day. Ever since than she has thrived. Her self confidence has improved. She for once in her life will tell me when she doesn't like something. (Not something a lot of parents want....but for her...it was big). I am just so proud seeing her come out of her shell and participate. The professor Matt is absolutely amazing in helping the kids learn and grow. He cultivates such a unique culture. I love that my daughter is now a part of. He challenges the kids to do better every day and doesn't accept excuses. Growing up I went to many gyms, watching my friends compete....but I have never seen such a unique and inviting environment. Sometimes the kids class will be absolutely packed with students. At first I worried that my kid wouldn't get the same amount of experience because of it. However, when the kids class gets that full the adults class coach will step in. It's absolutely fantastic. The way the owners run this gym together is perfect. I am so happy my daughter and I are part of it and I hope to watch them grow even bigger and reach even more students in the future. They recently had a 1 year anniversary kids tournament. And my daughter actually won a gold metal! I was so proud and it made her the happiest I think I have ever seen her. (I have to attach a photo)
Posted 1 year agoVisiting Boise decided to drop in to Driven jiujitsu and glad that I did. From the time I walked in I was made welcome and everyone was super nice. The instructor and the instructions were all top notch. Definitely a great place to train.
Posted 1 year agoI don't usually post reviews for things but i feel like the changes i have seen in my boys warrants a comment. Driven has been an absolute game changer for my kiddos. My oldest (7) deals with super low self confidence and pretty severe adhd/anxiety. He has tried other martial arts and even other bjj schools in the valley, but Driven just clicked for him. Professor Matt, coach Kris and coach Mike are nothing short of amazing. They make all of the kids feel capable, welcomed, cared for and are the ultimate hype team. We are so lucky to be apart of the Driven Family!!
