A few months ago we started our 4 year old son at Self Reliant, and overall we are very happy with the experience. Marie & Andrew have been great, along with the other coaches we've met. Our son is a very high-energy kid, and all the coaches have been great at managing the attention span of a 4 year old. They recently opened up a shorter, 30-minute class, that is geared towards very young kids and beginners and I think that will help with the transition from entry-level to the slightly older and more advanced classes. The shortened class still focuses on foundational technique, but instead of just drills, the kids do stations & games, tricking them into learning technique and the basics while being disguised as fun games. My wife and I have always received great communication with Marie & Andrew, talked through the struggles we have with our son, and have always been transparent about the potential they see as well as areas for improvement or ways to help our son succeed during class. Even if Jiu Jitsu doesn't end up being something our son continues, I'm very happy with the experience we've had here and I'd recommend it for parents looking to start their kids young and ease them into the sport.
Posted 1 year agoJust wrapped our last class with Self Reliant Jiu Jitsu and I have to say, if you are ever looking to train the Boise area, you need to go here. We were in town looking for a place to train for the week and they were so gracious with a great family deal so me and my two sons could train. They were so insanely welcoming and hospitable to me and my entire family. When we were without white Gi's they provided them without any hassle. My boys and I got some great instruction from coach Cash Burgess and Professor J. Andrew Thomas. Our boys made quick friends in thier class and holy cow did they break a sweat. This gym was full of humble, friendly, driven beasts that will make you aware of how far in your journey you have yet to go but will also make you feel like family along the way. I can't say thank you enough.

Posted 1 year agoOur two boys started a month ago and they love it. Teachers are great and accomplished in their craft. They compete and encourage the kids to eventually compete.
