Spectre Jiu-Jitsu is a Gustavo Rodrigues affiliate founded in Boise, Idaho in 2019 by Derek Newton Jake Durbin and Thomas Erickson. Professor Gustavo Rodrigues is a 4th degree black belt in jiu jitsu based in Salt Lake City. He began his study at Integração Jiu Jitsu in Santos, Brazil in 1995 with Master Elcio Figueiredo. It was there that he developed a passion for teaching, acting as an early mentor for many promising young students, including Marcus “Buchecha” Almeida. After moving to the U.S. in 2007 he taught as a special guest instructor at various schools in Salt Lake City, UT and shortly thereafter founded his own academy, Gustavo Rodrigues Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, which has become one of the most technical and formidable BJJ teams in the state. Spectre Jiu-Jitsu currently has four primary black belt instructors including: Derek Newton, John Laird, Jake Durbin, and Johnny Kowalski. Derek Newton is a 2nd degree black belt and head instructor.

I’ve been training with Spectre for 3 years now. What I have gathered from my time with them is that they are caring, consistent, supportive, and professional. The instruction from the professors is second to none. They teach you relevant and current techniques; with a great emphasis on strong fundamentals. They have become my family, and I look forward to my future with Spectre.

I have been to many gyms and can say few rival the kindness, professional instruction and quality of this school. I dropped in as I was travelling through town and was invited to join a class. I felt like Id been there for years. I learned a ton! Worth your time and money to invest in training. I will be back whenever I'm in Boise.

Plenty of mat space at the 6am class and a friendly group of people. Relaxed atmosphere, but they certainly up the intensity as class progresses. Very detailed and attentive instruction, with increasing resistance and what appeared to be kind and considerate class mates on the mat. A big thank you to Derek and Justin for making me feel welcome and easing me into my first class. They made it as comfortable to step on the mat as anybody could. If you're wondering about BJJ, you would do well to try here.

I had wanted to get into Jiu Jitsu for a couple years and so glad I found Spectre Jiu Jitsu. Derek, Thomas, and Jake are great instructors. They take the time to help develop each student's game personally and help explain techniques in different ways until it makes sense to you. The room is focused on getting your game better and everyone wants to help you come along and make progress. If you are thinking about trying somewhere out or cross training - Give it a go!

Edit, 2 years from below initial review: Crisp and Clear instruction. Great culture. They teach leg attacks and equally focus on Gi and No-Gi. No contracts. Month to Month. I'm a member of another gym and pay $40/m to focus on No-Gi through a "dual citizenship" membership. Brilliant! Original Review: I stopped by for a visit. You should too!

Great Academy! I was visiting for the weekend and dropped in to the Saturday and Sunday classes and felt like I was training at my home gym. Everyone was extremely welcoming and the group had a great culture/vibe. High level technique and instruction from Prof. Jake and Prof. Derek. Both instructors took time during and after class to go over details and answer any questions. For anyone, at any level, looking for a gym I'd highly recommend this place. I most definitely will be back soon to train!

Awesome instruction, great facility and great group of people. During my trip to Boise I stopped in to train. Instructors Jake and Derrick were very welcoming and taught great technique. They both took the time to go over extra details and answer any questions. Highly recommend this place to anyone training jiu jitsu from beginner to advanced you will not be disappointed.

Very positive & laid back environment. Instruction from 3 black belts keeps things fresh and offers different styles to learn from (Attend classes from each of them. They’re all great). Spectre also has a very accommodating class schedule with Gi & NoGi options which can be hard to find at other gyms. I highly recommend Spectre and always look forward to training!

This is exactly what Boise needs, a gym that encourages everyone, including members from other gyms to come and cross-train. I've had the honor of rolling with these guys at another school, and I am so happy they decided to branch out on their own. If you want to learn the best jiu jitsu, and be able to learn from students from other gyms this is the place.

This gym is represented by three extremely humble and knowledgeable instructors! What makes them different from the rest is that they aren’t afraid to show their students the techniques and concepts that continue to work for them while grappling! I personally feel that the drills I have been doing at his gym for the past two months have helped me advance more than the last six months I spent at any other gym! Advanced training and a community attitude is what you will receive at Spectre Jiu Jitsu!

Perfect place for any person interested in learning Brazilian Jui Jitsu. All the instructors are passionate about this art/sport and it shows in their teaching style. They are patient and willing to break down every hang up without making you feel dumb. It is hard to describe the environment other than excellent. Come down and join us for a trial class, I promise if you love the art/sport, you will love Spectre Jui Jitsu.
