My son is really enjoying to learn taekwondo with defense pro. The values and the method John is transmitting to the kids reach the goal.

North Bay Jiu Jitsu

(31 reviews)

We've been coming to North Bay Jujitsu for almost a year now, and we couldn't be happier with our…read moreexperience. Our son has been training with Coach Paolo since the beginning, and we truly appreciate his coaching style. He is firm yet kind, patient yet structured. I find it to be a perfect balance between discipline and fun, while creating a positive environment where kids can thrive and grow in both skill and confidence. More recently, Coach Sonia began assisting with our son's Monday class, and she has been a fantastic addition.

I joined North Bay Jiu Jitsu with prior experience in the sport, and initially, I was excited to be…read morea part of the community. The people were welcoming, supportive, and the atmosphere was friendly. The art of jiu jitsu is something I have always loved, as it teaches patience, respect, and self-defense. However, my experience at North Bay Jiu Jitsu was marred by a recurring issue that eventually led to my decision to cancel my membership. After about two months of training, I started getting sick almost like clockwork. Every two to three weeks, I would come down with a bad cold or a similar illness. Given that I was working from home and rarely going out, I began to suspect the source might be related to my jiu jitsu classes. I tried immunity boosters, vitamins, and other supplements, but nothing seemed to help. After my third bout of illness, I decided to take a closer look at the cleaning practices at the gym. I arrived early one day and observed what happened between classes. After a kids' class had finished, I saw one of the instructors take a large dust mop (the kind you might see in a grocery store) and quickly drag it across the mats. No disinfectant was sprayed, and the mop head wasn't changed. It was a brief and superficial cleaning process, to say the least. This was concerning because the mats, where we were constantly in close contact with each other's sweat and bacteria, were clearly not being properly sanitized. It suddenly made sense why I was getting sick so frequently. I decided to cancel my membership shortly after that incident. When I explained that my frequent illnesses were the reason for canceling, the response I received was polite but did not address the issue I raised-- there was no real acknowledgment or inquiry into the cleanliness practices or my health concerns. Since switching to a new gym, I have remained in good health. I'm writing this review to bring attention to an important issue that I believe needs to be addressed. The art of jiu jitsu is wonderful, and the community at North Bay Jiu Jitsu is full of kind and supportive people. However, cleanliness is crucial in a sport that involves such close contact. Gym owners and instructors have a responsibility to prioritize the health and safety of their members, and that includes maintaining proper hygiene practices. For anyone considering joining, I hope this serves as a helpful forewarning. Make sure the facilities you train in are prioritizing health and cleanliness, especially in such a physically intimate sport.
