    There aren't many Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and Jeet Kune Do classes available in Chico for Kids and adults!

    Awesome dojo! Looking forward to taking another BJJ class soon. The coach was so professional and…read moreknowledgeable, most importantly has a valuable perspective. I travel a lot and feel lucky to have stumbled upon this high class facility for only a 15 dollar drop in fee. I wish I took some pictures like a class photo because my training partners were so warm and welcoming totally felt at home in the gi class. Oss.

    **This review is based solely on the BJJ class and my observations about the facility for their…read morenight classes** I was in Chico for a week due to work. I had messaged this gym on my interest in doing a drop in for a day or two. I received a response back with no issues. The place was easy to find and had parking around the perimeter. I walked in and was greeted by Jason (the owner) and Valerie. They were both very welcoming and all smiles. After the waiver, Jason took me on a quick tour of the facility. The upstairs was like a recreational room with a TV and a couch, with some locker rooms. I noticed it was very clean and well kept. You can over look the gym from upstairs. Downstairs, after passing a hall way with more locker rooms, you arrived at the main training room. One giant room to fit a boxing ring, a large area of mats (where we did our BJJ class), and a workout room of free weights and a large rig for pull-ups and squats. Brandon is their black belt instructor and he was very welcoming and enthusiastic when he teaches and talks. Great energy even though he taught a Muay Thai class just prior to BJJ class. A standard BJJ class on warm ups, followed up with instruction and positional rolling, with live rolling. I did noticed that Brandon goes around the class as he assist and watches his students drill the move of the day. I had no issues with rolling with any of his students or him. Everyone had great attitudes. *Observations of the gym* I did noticed there were times that Valerie would walk around to clean equipment or windows. This shows that they care for the gym and members. I'm not sure if they have showers. This gym does have a nice 'family' vibe to it, but I did not see any kids or know the policy of having kids around. Overall, great place to visit or to become a member.

    My son & I have been training with Sean at Groundworks for about a year & highly recommend it…read more After looking at several other schools & styles we are very happy with our choice. The curriculum is very well laid out for a beginner to built on a solid foundation. The instructors & others students are all helpful and the culture is built on learning, teaching and helping each other. The techniques seem very applicable towards self defense and effective against a bigger or stronger opponent. Techniques are taught both Gi and NoGi for practical application. It's a fantastic workout that's quickly put my in to great shape & leaves me grounded and calm when I finish the classes. This a great atmosphere for beginners so don't be hesitant about trying a class. We have friends kids in the kids classes & the kids love it also!

My son has been a part of Gracie Barra since June 2022. It is his favorite class. Coaches Eric and Sierra are amazing coaches. So patient with the younger kids. It's definitely not easy to teach such young kids when they're have a hard time sitting still, but they somehow make it work. They promote discipline well as listening skills and the ability to follow directions. It's a great way to get exercise but also learn beginners self defense. They make the classes a lot of fun for these younger kids. If you have any kids this is the school I would highly suggest. I can personally say we will be with the school for a very long time to come it is well worth the money. This year my son went to his 1st Jujitsu tournament with the help of his coaches during rhe entire tournament. So glad to have these 2 wonderful people teaching our area the world and art of Jujitsu!
