I got to do a drop in at System Jiu Jitsu and had a blast. Great instructors, awesome people to roll with and clean mats. There is a wide range of skill level there and this is a great place for no gi Jiu Jitsu.

TOP TIER I’ve been training at The System for a while now, and I can honestly say it’s one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. The instruction is world-class — the coaches break down techniques in a way that’s easy to understand and apply, no matter your experience level. Whether you’re a complete beginner or a seasoned competitor, you’ll find a place here to grow and be challenged.

This is easily the best Jiu Jitsu in Idaho. When I first met Jacen and started training, I was 250+ pounds. You’ll get healthier, gain confidence, and change your life for the better.

My experience as a completely new student at this facility is very positive. They are welcoming and extremely knowledgeable! Nick has taken me into the family and made me feel welcome immediately. Scott and Kyle have been equally exepting to this totally new guy, and I am amazed by the skill and commitment I see not only in the teachers but the students as well. The gym has a no nonsense outer layer with a fun center. Comradery seems to be the glue and commitment with hard work appears to be the foundation. I am proud to be there and I want nothing more than to earn some respect from these talented people Jb Fng in training

Best $$ you'll spend for a gym/ dojo. This place has more than an Accommodating schedule , if you're willing to put in the effort and take away what these coaches are teaching , YOU can seriously level up your game in a short time frame! Weather your looking to compete, gain a new hobby and learn the art of submission grappling or just get in shape . I Highly recommend this Gym !! I lost 10lbs within my 1st month of training. Well worth it !!! Try a class and you'll be hooked

I currently train here and I love it, I leave the gym feeling like I learned something new and get a good workout in the process. These are some of the finest people I’ve come to know on and off the mats, they work hard in not only growing themselves but those they share the mats with. It is a second home. If you’re considering learning Jiu Jitsu for the first time or looking for a new school, come give this place a look. Hope to see you there!

The best no-gi gym in Idaho. Nick and Jacen are very knowledgeable about the sport and have created a plan for us that works. The hands-on teaching has helped me progress incredibly fast and prepared me for competition. The gym is full of good people who fight hard and want to improve.

I have tried a number of jiu jitsu gyms and system absolutely has the best process. You will not learn one move, practice it with a half speed partner, and then roll. Every piece they teach fits together, and i legitimately have left every class significantly better than when i came. Their coaches also have a keen eye for detail and will continually give you tips throughout the class. I couldn’t recommend System more highly.

Jacen, Nick and Matt are an absolute powerhouse team of coaches to learn from. They’re each insane experts with their own unique style that aren’t just shouting “moves” at you but working with you to develop your own style through tackling key tasks. Match that with the strong, technical, and fun group of students they have compiled and you have a 5 star school. -Jim

If you are serious about leveling up your Jiu-Jitsu, this is the place to train. As someone who has been training for a year the time spent with Nick and Jacen has leveled up my game tremendously. You won't find a better place with peers who are welcoming and eager to help develop you. The system works and will turn you into a savage on the mats.

Stopped into System recently to try out the ecological approach and had a blast! Jacen and Nick were incredibly welcoming, and we were so impressed with the technical knowledge and feedback we were given. We will definitely be back and would recommend stopping in for anyone who is interested in training more nogi :)

System is such an incredible family. Do we learn Jiu Jitsu? Yes. Yet, System focuses on so much more - a legit community pushing each other to be better each day, each roll. The Instruction is the perfect blend of ecological approach with technical compliments. My entire Jiu Jitsu framework has now been replaced with System - best decision ever.

I recently decided to try Jiu Jitsu after never doing any kind of sports before, and let me tell you what. It’s life changing! The patience, time and skill both coaches Jacen, Nick and multiple others teach is top notch. Jacen explained to me how they take a new way of acquiring skill. “Science based research focuses your intention and attention on the invariant features of your task focus. You will always know what you are trying to do, and why!” Both coaches do an absolutely exceptional job of explaining that, pushing you to your full potential while inspiring you to become the best version of yourself. System Jiu Jitsu is a brotherhood/family that I didn’t know I needed until I was a part of it. And now that I am, I couldn’t be more proud to be part of the system fam!

I’ve trained throughout the Treasure Valley. The No Gi focused training is top notch! Solid rolls throughout that room, solid instruction from Nick and Jacen. Technical progression happens quickly here especially if you put in the time. You can catch Nick and Jacen both actively coaching throughout training sessions and giving feedback after live rolls. Jacen and Nick both guide the team and help every practitioner that enters in their journey but also help you develop ownership of your technical progression. This spot is set apart in the best of ways. This is the spot for NO-Gi focused training in the Treasure valley!

Great place to train. Jacen and Nick are both high level instructors. Their program raises the level of the entire group plus they take the time to give one on one feedback, instruction, and coaching. Can’t recommend this gym enough for anyone looking to get better at Jiu jitsu regardless of where you’re starting from.

System Jiu Jitsu fills a gap in the valley in the way it offers a very strategic and methodical approach to grappling and no gi jiu jitsu. This school and its instructors will undeniably establish a strong foundation in your game, newb or vet.

If you're wanting to get started in Jiu-Jitsu or looking to advance your game, System is the place you're looking for. The instructors actually take their time to invest in what you need. The students are great at making you feel welcome, male or female it doesn't matter. Another big bonus is it's all No-Gi, making it the only gym in the Treasure Valley to do this. Come on down, you won't be disappointed!

If you want to learn effective & efficient Nogi American JIu-Jitsu & level up your game like never before, come to System. The unique style of this dojo helps you think for yourself. The tasks focus and constraints assist you in finding different solutions too the end goal. I've been doing jiu jitsu for over a decade now and wrestled at the collegiate level. For a while I thought I platued, but coming to System made realize that I just needed a new approach to the game.

I've been training jiu-jitsu for just over two and a half years. All of my professors have been great but there was something different about training with Nick. It wasn't until I attended my first class at System Jiu-Jitsu that I realized how different their perspective in teaching jujitsu really is. They give you true foundation and intention without limiting your ability and help you achieve your ultimate potential. I am loving it! Thank you to Jacen and Nick for being the best coaches you can be and continually improving yourselves to help us improve!!

Fundamentally, System Jiu-Jitsu is changing the game. When I first heard of this gym opening, I told Nick that my experience is that with all of my work traveling around the country and working with BJJ athletes there are ZERO coaches that have a lesson plan and progressive learning process for students. He said that they were doing it different. AND THEY ARE. As a combat sports physical therapist and strength coach, I've worked with college athletes at the highest level and with some of the best black belts in the country. System Jiu-Jitsu is a world apart. Lesson plans, note taking strategies, and hammering the basics in a way that will make any newcomer or veteran accelerate at a level that is unmatched in the Treasure Valley. This is the only place I'll go to get the most top tier instruction my money can buy. Also, they do private lessons that are, in my opinion, 100% WORTH THE INVESTMENT if you are a serious practitioner. Nick will figure out your goals, test you for you weaknesses, and then create a targeted plan for you to improve your grappling game. The coaches at System are absolutely changing what it looks like to enter the world of BJJ.

This gym just opened up, but I’ve been training with the two owners for a long time now. I’ve been in the sport for eight years and what these guys are doing is some of the best approach in terms of coaching and progressing their students that I’ve ever seen. I teach for a living and how these guys run class and how they personally invest time and effort into each student is phenomenal. The first class was held this week, and I saw some stuff that was incredible. One example being, A guy who never trained grappling in his life was able to grasp fundamental concepts that took me a long time to see. He got it within his first class. I would recommend this gym to serious practitioners and beginners who have the motivation and discipline to stick with it. Come train with some fantastic people and get better fast.
