I checked out a couple other gyms before getting connected with EDGE and knew almost instantly that it was the right fit. From the very first interaction, it was clear that the culture was kind and genuine, and the community welcoming. The owner Al was warm and friendly right away and didn't try to give me the hard sell, instead inviting me to try out a couple classes to see how I liked it. There was no pressure on me to commit before I was comfortable, which in turn made me comfortable right away. I had a drastically different experience at other gyms that I visited and the energy here was a breath of fresh air. I've been attending classes regularly for the last three months as a pure beginner to martial arts and been having an incredible experience. Al and the other instructors, Vern and Charles just to name a few, are not only masters of the craft and effective with passing on their knowledge, they care about the wellbeing of everyone present and are diligent at addressing any concerns to create a safe environment. As a result, the same attitude has been passed on to all the members. Classes have become the highlight of my week and I look forward to them every day. Can't recommend EDGE enough!
EDGE is definitely a gym that will hold a special place in my heart. The owner, instructors, and fellow teammates here all welcome a learning environment where one feels comfortable, safe and motivated to improve their martial arts game! The gym has a regular schedule offering BJJ, Muay Thai, MMA, Judo and Wrestling classes throughout the week. All the instructor and coaches are awesome and really help you improve each time. Also, being a female in male dominated spaces can be scary for some and intimidating especially when physical contact is also involved. You don’t have to worry about that here! Everyone made sure I was comfortable but also matched my speed and energy to give me a fair shot during sparring, rolling, etc. This gym is all about family and I definitely will miss training here! The commute just became too much for me but if I could’ve I would’ve trained here for a long time and more! Thanks EDGE!
Great place to train, the culture here is both welcoming and supportive. I've progressed in my jiu jitsu in a short period of time due to the quality of instruction and great training partners. Safety is a top priority here with sparring being as relaxed or intense as you want. Would definitely recommend joining a trial class to see what EDGE is about!
Edge BJJ is a fantastic choice for Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu training. Not only do they prioritize safety above all else, but the instructors also foster a supportive environment where students of all levels feel welcome. The emphasis on safety is evident in every class, and coupled with the humble and friendly demeanor of all the students, it creates a truly exceptional experience. The facilities are clean and well-equipped, and the staff is always attentive and communicative. Highly recommend for anyone interested in BJJ.
Edge Training Center offers a remarkable Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu experience centered around mutual respect and community spirit. With every class, top-tier instructors deepen your BJJ knowledge, fostering a sense of collective progress. It's an ideal training environment for anyone passionate about the art, earning my wholehearted recommendation.
I have been attending Edge for eight years. Al, Vern, and countless others have become like a second family to me over the past eight years. I came in after a few unfortunate circumstances at my former gym, I was searching for a good place and they welcomed me with open arms and it immediately felt like home to me. The vibe has always been amazing, challenging in very good ways. It’s a very encouraging atmosphere, especially to newcomers. It’s a great gym whether you want to compete or not. Vern’s coaching is also second to none. He is very thorough, and patient in his teaching and never lets you get in over your head without explaining and showing techniques in easy to comprehend ways. I can’t say enough about what Jiu Jitsu and Edge BJJ in particular has done for my physical and mental health. Come and check them out!
The place is very friendly and welcoming. I have seen my children’s skill level improve over time and it makes me proud. Coach Al and his team are great with the kids.
Competent, friendly gym with a focus on safety and technique. Al is great at finding the right balance between pushing us to improve our skills and fitness without sacrificing safety. The others training there reflect this training philosophy and style as well. Great morning class. Within a few weeks my fitness level has done gone up and I feel more and more confident to defend himself and implement the techniques I'm learning.
Great place to come and learn BJJ. Everyone is very helpful and humble. Doesnt matter what level you are. Everyone is all about safety. Great way to stay in shape.
Place is like a second home very welcoming and safe environment with great down-to-earth people and amazing instructors. Been training here for a while highly recommend.
Everyone was very friendly and inviting and also apt to teach if you're new.
Had a great time training at EDGE!! I’m a beginner and I took a class with Alvin, who took the time to show me the proper form and technique. Everyone in the class was super friendly and welcoming. I’d definitely recommend to people of all ages and skill levels.
Friendly coaches and a great training environment conducive to learning Jiu Jitsu!
Great place to train and learn for all ages. A family friendly environment along with a knowledgeable staff.
Took an early morning class led by owner and instructor, Alvin, and it was stupendous. We were drilled on falling, and some beginner Jui Jitsu techniques. We applied the techniques on eachother amongst the the other classmates. You can uses an attackers shirt collar against them if attacked on the street. The final bit of the class we "rolled," and Sparred against one another. Great time before Worm.
Love this place!!! I was tired of the gym atmosphere and wanted to change it up. Martial arts is something new for me. I was nervous and didn’t know what to expect. The teachers and everyone was really welcoming and knowledgeable . A really positive vibe that made me feel comfortable on the first day. I really enjoy it here and happy to learn a new skill and get fit at the same time.
Been training for about 1 year here at edge training center. Great coaches great family atmosphere awesome training partners. Everyone looking to help each other on there Jiu-jitsu journey No matter your age our your gender edge training center as you covered.
I'm a 40 year old guy who wrestled in high school and has been wanting to try bjj for years. A buddy of mine who's been a member of Edge had been bugging me for a while so I finally made my way there a little after 2020 started. I've loved it. Al, the owner, could not be more welcoming and helpful. He knows his stuff. The members are competitive but everyone wants everyone to get better and grow in the sport. No egos allowed. Even after a rib injury a few weeks ago (which has kept me from rolling), I still love being there and learning new things. If you've ever thought about getting into bjj, then this is the great place to start.
Just started training Jiu Jitsu a few months ago. EDGE is a great training center. Coaches are knowledgeable, encouraging, without ego and all of the students I have met and rolled with are genuinely good people. Everyone is helpful and it’s the right amount of competition and encouragement. Highly recommend!!
Intense sport, kind and mellow people. The coaches and students are here to help everyone get better. Love it for me and my daughter!
Many time slots available so you can take classes, lots of parking around Mission Blvd. Al, the owner and instructor, made it an easy transition for me from the couch to the gym.
Wonderful experience. Friendly staff. I throughly enjoyed, cannot wait to go back!
