  My 7 year old son has been going here for 2.5 years and he loves it. His growth in not only jiujitsu but his mental strength has been outstanding. I’ve also started in the past few months because I know the quality training I will get. Highly recommend to any kids or adults to learn some great self defense jiujitsu in a low pressure environment.

  I was going to write this review after the introductory 15 minutes I spent with Justin after having my mind BLOWN by a trap and roll, but I figured I should probably finish out the class before I jumped to conclusions.Then I realized I could never write a proper review until I finished out the free 10 day trial (which I made sure to squeeze as many classes into as possible). Once that was up I figured I should at least get my first stripe at 20 classes before I made any assumptions. Next it made complete sense to wait until I got my second stripe and was allowed to spar so my review contained all that was available (Not to mention Muay Thai, Wing Chung, and Judo). Of course, you can't REALLY review a place like this until you have spent HUNDREDS of hours there, shed blood, sweat, and tears, become a part of a huge community of some of the most wonderful people around, and allowed such an amazing lifestyle to truly propagate through your entire being….. so now, after 2 years of training, 5 days a week, getting the first stripe on my blue belt, I feel like I can say... I think i'll wait for my Purple belt! But seriously. This school has been such an integral catalyst for change in my life that I feel forever indebted to it. Justin and his team have built something truly marvelous here and they welcome new people with open arms. This is the perfect balance of self defense, exercise, community, and sport. I have come up through the ranks here with some of the finest individuals I have ever known. The children's classes are top notch and the kids get a fantastic education while having fun and learning to defend themselves. We call the kids "bully-proof" and I think it is the perfect description. If you have ever seen a UFC fight go to the ground and thought "Man, I would love to be able to do that," or you just need some more exercise, this is the place to be. I cannot wait to meet you. Chances are, I'll be there.

  My son has been attending N.M Jiujitsu Academy for about the past 18 months. I have been extremely happy with the quality of the instructors, supportive environment, and responsible approach to teaching these skills, particularly to younger children. The classes provide great exercise, help build important life skills, and will hopefully help my son keep from losing his lunch money in the Albuquerque Public School system. The students are taught to develop strength and confidence while reserving the fighting skills for defending themselves, rather than utilizing these to become a bully aggressor. It has been a great experience so far, one which we expect to continue for at least the next several years.

  I can only provide a very positive review of Justin Hall and his New Mexico Jiu Jitsu Academy! I have been training with Justin for about 3 years now and have found him to be an excellent instructor as well as an accomplished martial artist. He runs his business professionally and with high integrity, serving as an important role model and mentor for kids and adults alike. If you have any interest in learning how to defend yourself, I would strongly recommend that you visit Justin's academy and try a few classes. You won't be disappointed!

  I have been training hear for over 10 years in Jiu - Jitsu and Muay - Thai kick boxing, and love it! It always feels like a welcoming and big family. The instructors; Armando, Joe, Anthony, Christian, and Dylan are super knowledgeable and friendly with kids and adults. Also when I travel or need to put a "hold" on my account, it is as easy as one phone call. I can't say enough good things about this business!
