JJM Fresno is an exemplary (& in my opinion) the premier BJJ academy in Fresno, CA. Gorgeous, clean, & brand new facility! Professor Mike is a phenomenal instructor with over 20yrs of BJJ experience & coaching. He received his blackbelt under legendary BJJ icon, Jean Jacques Machado and is a fantastic ambassador of the sport. JJM Fresno is the goto spot for a beginner to start their BJJ Journey, as well as for an experienced grappler continue it. The kids program a huge pride of the gym as well. Mike's cultivated a friendly learning atmosphere, with a focus on being a good teammate, respect, & always having fun while doing it. If you train BJJ or are thinking about it, & you're in Fresno... JJMF is a no brainer decision.

From the welcoming first day to the easy scheduling and flexible class options, our experience has been excellent. On our daughter's first day, she was understandably a little nervous, as many children are in new environments. The coaches immediately made her feel comfortable, encouraged her to try new things, and helped her build confidence. She absolutely loved it. The flexibility they offer for scheduling upcoming classes is also amazing. The app is very user-friendly and makes it simple to make changes when needed. I would highly recommend this place to friends and family looking for a great activity and a positive martial arts experience for their child.

The instructors show a level of patience, understanding, and genuine care that truly sets this place apart. They've created an environment where my boys are not only learning the art of Jiu Jitsu but also gaining confidence, discipline, and a strong sense of community. It's rare to find a place that supports each child's unique journey so wholeheartedly. I'm incredibly grateful for the positive impact 7th Generation has had on my family. If you're a parent looking for a place where your kids can grow and be supported every step of the way, this is it.

It offers morning classes, afternoon classes, a free women's class, kids classes, competition classes, and nogi classes. Unlike so many other gyms, people care about you and your health. Safe rolls are emphasized and enforced; you're more than a monthly due at this gym. Come try out the difference!

"I hate to complain, but the schedule at this gym is truly terrible. The other day, I arrived when…read morethe website indicated open mat should be. I was told it would begin in a few minutes, so I purchased a day pass. However, upon reaching the gym, they were already finishing up. I requested a refund, explaining that I was there specifically for open mat, but was denied. So, I just went home. (Although a worker said they would contact the manager for a refund, which I do appreciate, I don't think I received it, but thanks for trying, nonetheless.) I returned the next day around the scheduled time, and again, nothing was happening. I called them later and asked when I could come by for an open mat session. They told me it would probably start later than the schedule stated, so l arrived then, and still, nothing. I apologize if I sound harsh; I usually never give bad reviews. I was just frustrated because I had to walk to the gym twice for no reason. If a gym wants to attract new people, they should honestly stick to the schedule or at least update their website. As someone who trains at a gym in Austin, TX, this was not the best welcome, and it was made extremely difficult just to get to the gym at the correct time. Just trying to be constructive, the people in the jiu-jitsu area seemed pretty friendly when I spoke to them while they were wrapping up. All I'm trying to say is that a strict schedule makes it much easier for people who are new to the gym or even traveling.

Last Wednesday, Eric taught some great "Butterfly Sweeps." Then, we drilled techniques and sparred. Excellent training! I enjoy the challenge of training in high altitude because it humbles me as I gasp for air. LOL I encourage anyone that's in Mammoth for vacation or otherwise to visit this academy. You won't be disappointed. July 2019- I wish there was a 6 star rating. I had another great training session at Mammoth Lakes BJJ. This time I was blessed to attend a "Take Down" seminar by one of Eric's collegiate wrestlers. The guy was a great instructor! Excellent training!! As always, Eric is the nicest and most welcoming instructors I've ever met in my 2 decades of BJJ training. Thank you Eric.

I have been to a few MMA gyms in my life. I did attend this gym for several years when I attended…read moreundergrad at UC Merced. To any UC kids reading this, COME HERE. This place is legit. First of all, if you're a noob, don't be scared. The people here are the kinds of people that will make you grow smarter and stronger. If you don't get stronger, neither do they. So you WILL be able to learn. BJJ takes time to get good at. I'm just a blue belt, but even THAT took me years to obtain. And I still suck a*s. But if you keep coming here, you will become a better person. Second, Professor Marcos is a very good man. He sticks up for the little guys and will make sure you are ALWAYS safe while rolling. If some bigger person is slamming you to the ground, Marcos will put an end to it. And if not him, then someone else will. Marcos cares about everyone, and it shows. Marcos teaches the most realistic moves for self-defense, and he knows A LOT. Third, the people here are amazing. Amy working the front desk is dope. Dragon is super dope. Everyone here is dope. I'm not sure who still attends this place, but I'm sure the rest of the people there all have a good heart. I never encountered a bully when I attended here. I'm not sure the price nowadays, but it's still dirt cheap for the quality of training you will receive here. I have attended a Ralph Gracie gym, and it was trash. Super expensive, and I encountered bullies there. This place is not only reasonably priced; you also get great friends here. No bullies go here. I miss this place. About once a year you can train with Grandmaster Flavio Behring. If you've never met him, you must. It's an amazing and unforgettable experience that not even the "Gracie's" can brag about. Another perk is that you can attend the other gyms affiliated with this place. Like the Oakdale gym. I hate the Central Valley, so I'll never live here again. But if you're in the area and you're looking for a place to train, this is it ladies and gentlemen. You have the BEST MMA gym in CA right here in the middle of nowhere Merced. Any UC kid reading this should check it out. Your first class is free.
