A daily and unrelenting pursuit of the most effective and aesthetic grappling technique possible.
Vien Ju Jitsu has been instrumental in my son's development over the past year. We chose BJJ for its inclusive approach, and the results have exceeded our hopes. He has thrived in the community and embraced the discipline. The positive impact was formally recognized by his teacher and IEP team, who reported that his BJJ training directly complemented and accelerated his occupational and physical therapy goals. I highly recommend Vien Ju Jitsu to any parent, especially those with children who have unique developmental needs.

When my fiance suggested I should learn jiu jitsu for self defense, I was skeptical whether it was something that I could do or should even attempt. When he searched gyms near me and said I could train with a champion female coach in right in Manlius, I decided I should at least give it a try. I had no idea what I was getting in to! I didn't know I was going to fall in love with the people, the sport, and the challenge. I'm not sure I would have if I didn't start at Vien Jiu Jitsu. The atmosphere is so respectful and safe, without being rigid and intimidating. Everyone is welcome to come learn and train and there are all kinds of people on the mats every day. Gee Vien and April Parks are genuinely amazing people teaching their passion for Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and growing something really authentic and awesome. I'm seriously always in awe that I have the honor to learn from them and train at their gym, and thankful for the influence that their training has my life and my children!! Also they're just really down to earth and kind, genuine people. Highest standards for integrity, sportsmanship, hygiene and technique!

Great place! This dojo is filled with awesome instructors and friendly students. They offer two free trial classes and have Jiu Jitsu, Judo and wrestling classes. Many students here compete so the skill level is very high, but beginners are always treated with respect and learn very quickly. Try it out!

April, Gee and Jeff are wonderful instructors. I'm brand new to BJJ. They offer many different classes all throughout the day to fit different skill levels and schedules. This has been very helpful in finding where to begin. They are experts in the field, very welcoming and so much fun. The members have been very welcoming to beginners as well, they make you feel right at home! I definitely recommend Vien Jiu Jitsu to anyone looking to learn or compete BJJ!

As someone totally new to the practice, everybody at Vien Jiu Jitsu has been friendly and welcoming! They were very understanding when I became pregnant and needed to pause my membership. Gee and April are top-notch instructors and you're learning from the best.
