As a new member I was nervous on my first day in but everyone I met was super nice and respectful to me and taking time out of their training to help me out and show me things to remember and really made me feel welcome, I’m now a full time member

Highly recommend! Bryan is great instructor and has a great community inside the gym. Doesn’t push anyone to compete but pushes everyone to be the best they can be. Always open for questions and discussions about different moves. Cant say enough good things!

This gym is amazing. The coaches here are very knowledgeable, and the other members are very welcoming, and understanding when you are "the new guy/gal". Also equipped with a fitness center and sauna, as well as a large parking lot with overflow parking available. If you're looking for a place to learn BJJ, this is the place you are looking for.

My favorite place to exercise and learn self defense. Through Bryan's training, I eventually lost 20 lbs. The atmosphere is supportive, yet challenging.

I recently visited Bryan Guidry's gym as my first experience with BJJ. As a beginner, a skinny guy, and having recently turned 30 I had lots of reasons to potentially feel intimidated. The gym was exceptional, Dan the instructor of my classes, was positive and knowledgeable. The culture of the gym was great. The hot sauna is a nice extra. After my first month I was unable to train due to changes in my health insurance and work schedule. When I had issues with my billing, Bryan was quick to respond and to resolve the issue. I have nothing but positive things to say. If you can afford it, it's a fantastic place to learn. A+++

Bryan is great as well as Dan and the rest of the coaches. Good mix of STL city. Very diverse gym, a number of law enforcement members train here as well. Very welcoming to new students, and a good mix of men and women. Definitely recommend to anyone. Not only jiu jitsu, but there’s cardio equipment, sauna, showers, anything you need to get a quick workout in. Also kids classes look fun. Definitely come visit!

Great place to train bjj. They have plenty of classes to fit into any schedule. Brian and all of the instructors are very friendly and helpful. There is a sauna and work out equipment as well to make this place a one stop shop for fitness. I'm glad I found this place.

Bryan Guidry is running a laboratory to create super heroes in St Louis. After a year or two of training at North Broadway Jiu Jitsu you will be more confident, fit, and calmer. I sometimes deal with social anxiety and the mats are one of the few times when nothing bothers me. I trained at NBJJ for a few years then moved away. I recently revisited and can say this is still one of the best gyms in the country. Bryan teaches a fundamentally sharp, relentless brand of Jiu Jitsu and always hunts for the submission, its what the art is all about. Cheers.

Great group of guys, and Bryan is the man. He is hilarious and disarming with how he goes about class, there is always some laughs and an easy going but passionate environment. It is a very fun, dynamic, never boring way to get a hardcore workout. You will not leave class without being drenched in sweat usually, the key thing though is it was fun.

Very knowledgeable and experienced instructor. Love the vibes of this gym. Doesn't matter if you have years of experience or if you've never even heard of jiu jitsu, Bryan will take you in and treat you like family from day one!

This is the best gym in the area in my opinion. Bryan is a world class bjj player, but he makes all of his students feel comfortable and welcome, no matter their level of experience or ability. I can't recommend this gym highly enough.

Bryan Guidry is an excellent teacher, as well as fierce competitor, and the whole Broadway Team is a class act. Anyone can fit in here and their BJJ game will soar under Mr Guidry's instruction! I look forward to getting back to North Broadway just as soon as I travel to St. Louis

The premier place for jiu jitsu/fitness in st louis. I trained at north broadwy jiu jitsu for 6 months, then took over a year off for financial reasons. I went back this past thursday for a jiu jitsu techniques class and then sparring afterwards. It was like I never left. The same people were there and many more as well. Most had some stripes added to there belt and also some color changes. Techniques classes are clear and to the point. Sparring classes are without egos. Brian also participates in sparring classes. At first I didn't think I would make it through an hour of sparring class. But through encouragement by students I was "rolling" with I made it. I'll tell you even my hair was sore afterwards. I am 45 years old and will continue my training at northbroadway jiu jitsu well into my twilight years. You should stop by for a visit.

I'm a Sanshou kickboxer and I wanted to get into the MMA sport, knowing my intention, I needed to learn about ground fighting. I came from a traditional combative school, Wu Hsing Chuan Five Animal Academy where Dr. Larry E. Adams is a 7th Duan (Quan shi) is my Sifu. I knew I needed the same type of background to be comfortable. Both World Champ/ Black Belt Bryan Guidry and David Burk has shown me that you have to earn your stripes. Nothing is given in their gym. You truly feel you handle the world and anything in it, with no fear. The Vaghi Team is so easy to get along with! Everyone gives a helping hand, there are no put downs. From Conditioning, Technique to Sparring you feel incredible and see immediate results. Best of all, the hours of operation can fit anyone's schedule! One thing you realize from this school is, the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. Rickson Gracie (World Champ )-> Rodrigo Vaghi (World Champ) ->Bryan Guidry (World Champ) ->YOU. Name another Martial Arts institution you can say the same about! Thank you Bryan, David and Vaghi Organization, Maurice Bembry

You won’t go wrong checking out North Broadway Jiu Jitsu. If you are looking for a fun and different way to exercise while developing a skill that can be used to protect yourself or your family this is a great place to check out. They have people from all age groups training here. I started training at North Broadway Jiu jitsu 6 months ago and I have loved every minute of it. I have tried out many of the Jiu jitsu schools in St.louis and the surrounding areas and have found that North Broadway Jiu Jitsu has one of the best gym atmospheres around. The people there have no egos and are willing to help you learn and grow as a Martial Artist. Also if money is an issue North Broadway Jiu Jitsu has the most reasonable gym prices that I have came across.

I've trained in Jiu Jitsu in several places but this school I feel I've had the best experience. I like tough schools and the best competition possible and I get that here for sure. I also like the comradery and respect that this gym offers. Everyone at all levels are interested in learning the art as well as helping the newer students so that they can comfortably advance.
