Northpark Jiu Jitsu is a fantastic gym. My son went there for several years and we would’ve continued, but we had to move. We appreciate all of the coaches and the great program that they ran. My son learned so much and we highly recommend this gym.

I started with North Park Jiu-Jitsu back in 2018 and highly recommend this academy to all levels of experience. The moment you walk in, you’ll immediately feel the academy’s friendly, close-knit, and family-oriented atmosphere. Over the years, they’ve taught me various techniques and concepts of the martial-art, for which I’m forever grateful for and still use to this day. The knowledge and wisdom I’ve gained from these exceptional instructors are truly unmatched.

Before coming here I trained at another high quality school in Orange County. I moved to San Diego and was worried I wouldn’t find a place that I would like as much. I originally planned on doing a trial at three different places before making a decision but ended up trying NPJJ first and staying. What I like most about NPJJ is that the techniques/methods of teaching are always evolving.

A welcoming environment for all. BJJ has helped me with anxiety and depression as well. It has helped me come out of my shell to try new experiences. I have learned from my failures in class and come to class whenever I can make it. I've met many interesting people and can say it brings together all sorts of personalities. It has really opened my eyes to a new way of living life as well. I appreciate all the other professors who take their time and patience to teach us techniques. Private lessons have been helping me as well.

NP Jiu Jitsu has one of the best atmosphere for learning. The instructors are all awesome and welcoming. Mike is an amazing instructors that will teach you the concepts & techniques and has a great ability for breaking down the technical piece so all levels can learn successfully. Paulette is amazing with the kids program and makes everyone feel safe, comfortable and welcoming for all kids at all skill levels. My two girls age 10 and 11 have been training with Paulete and are always excited to go to class. Having a female black belt instructor is great for young girl’s to look up to and to see that they can be successful in Jiu Jitsu. They have grown so much in their Jiu Jitsu journey.

I started out here as a complete noob white belt and now am a formidable purple belt. I have traveled around and visited many Jiu Jitsu schools and I can tell you that the level of technical Jiu Jitsu that is being taught here at North Park Jiu Jitsu is world class. Because this is my home academy, I didn't realize how good it was until I saw other schools. Not only that, but North Park Jiu Jitsu is constantly hosting famous Jiu Jitsu competitors as guest instructors. People like Lucas Lepri, Nicholas Meregali, Abraham Marte, and more. You really can't get much better than this. I can't believe I randomly stumbled upon this hidden gem years ago. If you are even considering trying out Jiu Jitsu, don't hesitate to come here. The people are kind and considerate and the Jiu Jitsu is top notch.

I've been coming to NPBJJ for just a couple months now. Total beginner, no experience in martial arts. But it's been an awesome experience, and I feel lucky that NPBJJ was the gym I stumbled into. The whole team here, and everyone I've taken classes with, Mike, Paulete, Ram, Audric, Tio, Romero, Johnny, have been incredibly warm and welcoming. I told them at the outset I was looking to learn discipline, and when I started missing classes a few weeks in, Mike reached out to me directly to see what was up. I've seen Mike and the team give everyone that comes through the door that same level of attention and respect, whatever their background. They have created a community based on trust, humility, and camaraderie, and you can see it in the loyal trainees that come by every day. There's more being taught here than just technique -- and ultimately that's what's kept me coming back. Really recommend anyone to come by and give it a go. You will meet some incredible people, and find a real challenge.

I started my 7 year old son here 4 months ago originally as a way for him to get out of the house and not play as much video games, but his has turned out to be better than I had hoped. The friendliness AND professionalism that the coaches show all while building an environment of teamwork and friendship will have a lasting impact on my child for years to come. There has to be a level of patience above normal when teaching kids as young as 4 with very little attention span and this place has it. Highly recommend it and thanks team North Park BJJ!

My daughter (5) has been attending the children's classes for a few weeks now and absolutely loves it. As a parent, safety is always top of mind, especially for younger children who require more supervision, instruction, and repetition. This is something I think the coaches do very well, especially coach Audric. His teaching style is thoughtful and age appropriate (something that can be very challenging with children of varying ages). As a parent, I highly recommend the childrens class. My daughter looks forward to attending every class!

Came to North Park Brazilian Jiu Jitsu because how close it was to my home. But after my first week i realized it had been i had made a great choice. Any sport let alone a martial art can be intimidating to start especially as an adult. But at NPBJJ those fears quickly vanished and it just became a fun learning environment. No ego or chips on shoulders, at least none that i could see. Men and woman even kids rolling around in the same class. Safe fun and welcoming. Starting this mew adventure at NPBJJ was a great choice for me. Now i would not want to move from where i live just to stay close to NPBJJ. Profesor Mike is the man him and the other coaches are great teachers. Definitely check out NPBJJ

My journey at North Park Jiu Jitsu began a year ago when I was first introduced to BJJ as a means of managing my health, diabetes in particular, while learning the art of self defense. When searching for a gym, I looked for a place that was welcoming to beginners and responsive to diverse needs. Some enter BJJ to compete others, camaraderie through athleticism. Some are those like myself who are interested in learning an art while achieving health goals. The great thing about North Park Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is that it is a one stop-shop with everyone in mind. Additionally, I appreciate the structure, encouragement, and live feedback from instructors during training. I look forward to continuing to grow at NPBJJ!

North Park Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu has unquestionably changed my life. As someone who started training karate at age 5, martial arts are an important part of my identity, but it was always a dream to train Jiu-Jitsu. I got a lot more than Jiu-Jitsu though, since joining North Park BJJ in August of 2019. I found a new family and lifelong friends. As a timid white belt, Professors Mike and Jim fostered a fun and welcoming environment that made Jiu-Jitsu accessible and exciting. They took a genuine interest in my personal development and invested a great deal of time on and off the mats to guide and inspire me. Receiving my blue belt and representing North Park at a competition were two of my most rewarding and meaningful experiences to date. I could not be more grateful to be a member of the North Park family and could not possibly provide a stronger recommendation to anyone interested in self-defense, martial arts, camaraderie, self-actualization, or just having the most fun they’ve had in their life.

I came to this school thinking that i was going to be training only twice a week, and it’s been almost two years training pretty much everyday. The instructors are top notch, starting with the lead head instructor Professor Mike who poses a large wealth of Jiujitsu knowledge, and there isn’t a single question he can’t answer. He’s has taught me a lot from the beginning as well as always being in my corner every-time i go to any tournament. Professor Jims fundamentals classes on wednesdays are absolutely a must for beginners and advance students where concepts and training methods are always introduced to get the aaahh!! moments, especially for those still in the beginning phase of learning the universal language of Brazilian Jiujitsu. Coach Paulette is also another amazing instructor who leads the women's class where my girlfriend has the opportunity to attend. Coach Audric with his outstanding wrestling background and takedowns leads the kids classes and teaches adult classes as well. If you’re debating whether to start your jiujitsu journey or not, do yourself a favor and come to this school for a trial or week trial class and discover your human potential, you won’t regret it, not only i’ve grown as a person in this school but i’ve built great friendships with others.

North Park BJJ has been a great experience the past month. I had no experience on the mats before joining and only a month in I feel like I have learned a lot and have been exposed to high-level movements and techniques. The professors are highly knowledgeable in a multitude of techniques from jiu-jitsu, wrestling, and self-defense. They follow a curriculum that allows you to understand the chosen move thoroughly, before moving on. After the class, you can roll/spar with quality training partners for 30min to an hour. If you commit to the art you will be able to grow exponentially here at North Park BJJ. 100% recommend.

I’ve done martial arts for most of my life, and when I moved to San Diego, I decided to look for a good place to learn BJJ near my home. Ive been to good schools, and bad ones; North Park is a great one. My classmates have really become a family, and the staff really cares about you achieving your potential. It’s a great place to learn to your own level—it provides equal benefits to those looking to win competitions, as well as those looking to break out of their shell, or maybe just looking for a new hobby. The staff is incredibly helpful, knowledgeable, and encourages questions. You’ll learn BJJ the right way, in a friendly and low pressure environment. If you’re in the military, it’s particularly great. There’s a solid military discount, and it’s a great place to “turn off” the military life. I’d say 30-40% of the students are in the military, but you’d never realize it. No one will be compulsively thanking you for your service or looking at you like you might have ptsd. In short—great value, high quality education in a fun environment.

Just wrapped up a session at North Park Brazillian Jui Jitsu and I can recommend this place strongly, without hesitation as your primary training center or your go to place for a drop in session as you travel through for work, vaca or whatever brings you to SanDiego. I travel a-lot for work and get opportunities to roll at different gyms nationally and internationally. I can say North Park was exceptionally welcoming. Everyone was friendly, willing to train hard, work hard, teach and learn. Jamie Reynoso was the instructor tonight and the instruction was clear with logical progression. I got a chance to roll with him. He is a monster. I never once felt like things were out of control or that i was at risk. Also, props to their purple belt that was finishing the kids class on my arrival at the gym. He had clear expectations, class control and demonstrated what seemed to be infinite patience. Thanks you guys and i hope to return before i fly out.

I started jiu jitsu about 6 months ago, and it has completely changed my life. I visited a few different places before I found North Park BJJ, and it is definitely the best instruction and community that I found. I leave each training session with such a positive feeling and strong motivation for the next class. I encourage everyone to at least give NP BJJ a try, given the impact it has had on me.

I highly recommend this place to everyone! I'm so glad I found this school! The coaches and the students were very welcoming, patient, and knowledgeable. I will definitely be training there in the future because of the great atmosphere and the high quality coaching. I think North Park Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is a great place for people of any age and level of experience to learn the art of BJJ.

This is the perfect place to learn the art of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and I'm really glad I signed up with this gym. All the instructor's here are knowledgeable and technical, always giving great advice. The instructor's are really patient and personable as well, your not just a number in their class. I really like the overall environment, I'm a beginner and I don't feel intimated at all. Everyone here is always willing to help and teach others. I definitely recommend North Park BJJ!!! Trust me, you won't be disappointed.

I came in just to have my little one, Kaia who is 8yrs old, to learn self defense and discipline. The people here are super friendly and knowledgeable and suggested I train along with my daughter for encouragement. Three months later and 20lbs less I can honestly say this was the best thing that has happened to someone over 40 and I recommend this for all ages! This school has top notch professors in Mike and the rest of the coaches!

If you're young/old, trying to get in shape, or have desires to compete this school will have something for you. Gym has a very friendly and unintimidating atmosphere. The head instructor, Mike is a great teacher and knowledgeable. He is very detailed in his instruction that it makes learning the art perfect for slow learners like myself. Highly recommended.

I've been training in Jiu-jitsu for 7-8 years so I know what I'm looking for in a gym when I first walk into a new place. The things I look for are a clean Gym, good instructors who know what they're talking about when they show a move and most important to me is chill training partners who are not trying to take your head off. North park Jiu-Jitsu checks all my boxes for training at a new gym, and can't beat the prices too

I have been training at North Park Brazilian Jiu Jitsu as soon as it opened. I live 5 minutes from the gym. This place has a very good chill vibes in regards with the teachers and students. Very friendly atmosphere. If you want to learn Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and self defense stop by and give them a try.

Went to a free trial class and while the kids enjoyed it the complete lack of Covid protocols make us too uncomfortable to continue. No masks on teachers or the students in an enclosed and stuffy room is just not for us right now. Be prepared for that going in, we had no idea it would be that way. For some people, however, this is probably exactly what you and your kids need. For us, vaccinated or not, it’s too soon to be this close to other people, especially given who else we could potentially expose.

I am giving 2 stars to this establishment due to them having amazing coaches (Audric, Joe, and Rino) for the kids class BUT our overall experience is less than mediorce- the owner Rob is NOT clear on his policy of not attending anymore then still charged me for both kids even though they have not attended for over a month and when asked, he had different answers for every parent that wanted to cancel. This type of leadership and business makes me question why we were treated this way and does the bottom line comes down to wanting to take money from hard working parents who wanted to provide their children with a new skill. -- another issue that is absurd is the lack of communication on the "free GI and patch" when you sign up, we did NOT receive ours and paid for everything out of pocket and no one said a word. I will definitely think twice about joining here and make sure you do your research.

If you are a foreigner, don't go. They deceive you financially. They list ridiculous contract terms. I hate jiu-jitsu because of these people :) Welcome
