One of the best Gracie Jiujitsu schools around the Valley. A Pedro Sauer affiliate. Good instruction for adults and children. Have a structured program with moves that need to be learned before testing for the next belt level.

Team Rhino Gracie Academy is the epitome of jiu jitsu! Thank you to Ms. Owen for allowing me to come in and train while visiting for work. The instruction is top notch, the facility is state of the art and clean, and the instructors are humble, down-to-earth and very welcoming. I had an excellent time training with this team and learning their techniques. I truly enjoy being a practitioner of this sport and being able to meet great people while traveling for work. Thank you Team Rhino Gracie Jiu-Jitsu!

As a purple belt I'm biased, but as far as I'm concerned one of the best schools I've been to. New location is great, tons of mat space and more parking. Options for kids of all ages, adults, striking classes and open mat times.

Beautiful, clean facilities; friendly, welcoming atmosphere; and solid jiu-jitsu, what more can you ask for? The morning class guys made me feel welcome when I dropped in today. I'll definitely be coming back next time I'm in Boise!

After three months of attending Team Rhino classes, I have to say that I cannot see myself going anywhere else. Everyone is friendly and welcoming. The instructors know everyone by name and the gym has a great reputation. The pricing is fair and it feels like I am getting every penny worth out of it. One of the things I greatly respect about this gym and it's instructors is that they promote safety and technicality above all else. If you want to compete, that is of course an option, but I have never felt like anyone is being pressured to compete. I also love the fact that they lay out exactly what you need to do to promote to the next belt and all of the stripes in between. And on top of that, they genuinely want you to test and promote and there is no negative stigma about asking to test for your next stripe. Again, I cannot see myself training anywhere else and will be with this gym for the foreseeable future.

This is a great gym that harbors a really great culture and is super family friendly. The mat space is huge and very clean. I'm so glad we found this gym. After moving to this area and coming from a Gracie gym it was an easy transition being this is a Pedro Sauer affiliate gym.

Team rhino Gracie Jiu-Jitsu is a great place to learn or continue learning Brazilian jiu-Jitsu. Their team of instructors create a great environment for all types of individuals and families wanting to learn Brazilian jiu jitsu and or compete or learn self-defense. They've got it all! I train there for years and no the owners and structures and students and just such great people highly recommend them!

Team Rhino has an exciting and welcoming atmosphere. I’ve been apart of Team Rhino for nearly 3 years now and it has been nothing short of a phenomenal experience. I highly recommend trying Jiu jitsu, no matter your age or weight. I can guarantee Professor Keith and his team can teach you something new.

Professor Owen is a direct student of Master Pedro Sauer. As such, the level of instruction and curriculum is about as close to the source (Gracie Jiu Jitsu) as you can get. The facility is clean and professional. The students are friendly and welcoming. And don’t be fooled, there are absolute top notch grapplers in this school. Just look at their medal wall and you’ll see that they are turning ordinary people into well rounded and accomplished Jiu Jitsu practitioners. You won’t get fed to the lions and you won’t get nasty skin infections here. They’ve been at this for 2 decades. Worth the visit. Worth attending.

I have been training at Team Rhino with Keith Owen for the last 4-5 years. Keith and the team do a fantastic job of instructing Jiu-Jitsu, teaching and structuring classes for both self-defense and competition purposes. Keith does a great job ensuring the environment is one that people from any walk of life (young, old, man, women, small, big) feel comfortable and can get the most out of their training. Would highly recommend coming in for a class if you have ever been interested.

What a life changing experience!! Thank you Mr. Keith and staff for your wisdom ,kindness and patience. I have learned so much more then just self-defense in the time I've been with you guys, also thank you very much for the progress that you guys have helped make with my nephew who is in your kids class. Things were definitely a lot tougher before we walked into your school, but with the help of the principles and discipline that you and your staff teach things are definitely a lot smoother and healthier in both of our lives thank you very much sir and staff 💪💪❤❤👍👍

Everyone there is so friendly, and I have made good friends. If you are someone who wants to learn a real martial art, but doesn't want the "cage fighter" gym, this is your place!

In addition to me, 3 of my kids are currently taking martial arts lessons from Keith Owen at Ultimate Karate and Jiu-Jitsu. The kids curriculum is centered around not only martial arts techniques, but also practical life skills for kids including dealing with bullies, understanding valuable concepts (honesty, discipline, etc,) and putting an emphasis on performing in school and behaving at home. The adult Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu class is both mentally stimulating and physically demanding. The class is also a way to meet a great group of people and I very much enjoy the sense of camaraderie among the group of instructors and students.

Ultimate Karate and Jiujitsu is a fantastic school. Keith Owen is a fantastic instructor with a wealth of experience and knowledge. He does a great job teaching to the level of the students in the class. The school does a great job teaching a mix of both self defense and tournament style Jiujitsu. I would highly recommend Ultimate Karate and Jiujitsu if you are completely new to Martial arts or have years of experience and are looking for a new school.

Ultimate Karate and Jiu Jitsu is a great place to train Martial Arts. If you are looking for an effective training program for your kids or yourself this is the place to go, a place for the whole family! They offer stand-up and ground training – most importantly Self Defense is included in all programs. The instruction is world class and the facility is welcoming and clean. I transferred to Boise for my job and was looking for a place to continue my training. I looked at the other gyms in the valley and, based on my experience training in the US and abroad, I felt Ultimate was the place for me – and I was RIGHT! You should definitely come check them out, you will not be disappointed.

Both me and my son have been training at this studio for 2 and a half years. Its a great place to learn jiujitsu, mainly for two reasons: 1. Keith Owen, the head instructor, is an excellent teacher that emphasizes technique instead of brute strength. 2. Atmosphere: there is none of the machismo that prevails at other studios. Each student is here to learn and help others learn without hurting their training partner. At other gyms there can be a "win at any cost" attitude that will get you hurt, and impedes the learning process (withholding information in order to win). Not here! My son has done both the stand up martial arts class and the jiu jitsu class and has enjoyed both of them. Teachers teach technique but also teach discipline.

I have been looking for a BJJ school for some time and when I moved to Boise I was very happy to Find Ultimate Karate and Jiu Jitsu. Mr. Keith and fellow Students make a effort to make sure new students don't hurt themselves or others. Classes start on time! What better way to get a workout, increase flexibility/mobility while learning a awesome life skill.

Been training here for five and a half years and will continue to train here for 20-30 more. Everyone is very respectful to each other and students train hard and learn great skills from one of the best Jiujitsu Instructors in the U.S. Students are professionals and have jobs and families and thus take care of each other while training so nobody gets hurt or injured. Mr. Keith is a phenomenal teacher who not only can break down the most complex techniques to help you grasp the concepts at a deeper level, but also a lot of fun and brings a great positive attitude and passion for his arts.

I started training with Keith a few months back and I can say hands down that he is the best BJJ instructor around. He has a gift for being able to explain technical things in such a simple, easy to understand way that really makes it fun to learn. He has an amazing kids program and I am so excited for my son to start next year. Whether you are a parent looking for a good martial arts school or you are looking to start BJJ, you can't go wrong with Keith! I would recommend his school to anyone.

Loved it at first, prior COVID, old location was convenient, during COVID parents paid a hundred dollars a month to stay home and maybe get a video once a month for kids to be nice and practice something. With today's technology, I think they've could've done more remote via zoom. I didn't renew and couldn't wait for contract to be over. I hope the new location is different, twice weekly and get your money's worth.

frankly i don't think i like this gym to much. my first night i sat and watched them train and i noticed a lot of them hanging out and talking in groups more then training. it kind of reminded me of Cliques in highschool. my first lesson as i walked in i tried to introduce myself to some of the other students, they were very distant and they continued about their business but there was a couple others there for their fist time and was able to talk with them for a bit. 2nd lesson was a simller story. the students seem to stick to their cliques and it was heard to meet people. me and one of the other new guys got paired up and after the teacher's demonstration me and my partner were having a hard time getting the movement right and we asked the teacher, Chace for help and he said "you're fine" we were definitely NOT FINE. the teacher would keep most of his attention on the higher belts and i noticed the white belts were pretty much left to struggle on their own and then i got switched to a new partner (higher belt) who instead of helping me get the movement right he just got frustrated with me when i wasn't getting it. and they have a Corriculum but the teachers don't seem to stick to it. safe to say i will be moving on to a better gym.

If I could rate a zero star I would. The staff does not listen to your concerns. They made my child a promise and then “forgot”. The promise made was to not team my child up with another kid. Next class they paired him up anyway, didn’t care for our concerns. Classes are too crowded. And, there’s a unkept looking instructor who always stinks. I would suggest trying elsewhere.
