The coaches are patient, knowledgeable, and truly care about every student's growth. But what has stood out the most to me is the women's community. The women here lift each other up, push each other to get better, and celebrate every win together. The friendships I've made on these mats feel like family. If you are searching for confidence, community, and a place where you can grow surrounded by people who want to see you win, Genesis is the place. Five stars without hesitation!

I have been going to Genesis Jiu Jitsu in River Oaks since April of 2025. I'm an older woman and…read moreenjoy the opportunity to train in both Gi and Nogi. The schedule is varied so I can fit in trainings and and open mats for both types of BJJ. The men are extremely kind and helpful at coed classes as well as open mats. I never feel in jeopardy but get a good workout while feeling safe and respected. I also enjoy the classes with women of various ages. We have fun but get great training. Very supportive for competition training as well as for hobbyists.

Coach Eric's instructions are very broken down and easy to follow. I never felt that he's pressured anyone or made anyone feel incapable. He actually has a very opposite effect and makes you feel like you can learn it all with time and practice. I'm glad my wife found this place. My daughter has improved a lot during her time here. She's just competed in the NAGA novice tournament and brought home first place in no-GI and second in GI. Really proud of her and the coaches for teaching her so well.

This place resides in a quiet area, has clean restrooms, onsite vending machine, tiny parking lot,…read moreand a huge floor matt. The gal that does the registration can't seem to explain why the registration, down payment, are ridiculously high, so you are left pondering why are you going to invest over 2000k in a contract two day 40min training camp whose head coach by the name Story can't even introduce himself? The head coach left a single purple belt student alone with 15 kids- most who were there for the very first time- so the whole free trial became a huge WTF experience. My kid kept being tossed by another experience kid, so naturally, he was a human throwing bag. I ended enrolling my kids at Gracie's Barra by Wilshire, 1000 time's better than this place and cheaper.

Stay away from this gym and all the tournaments that they host…read more They hosted a terrible tournament that turned out to be a huge money grab. They have another tournament in Oct, but do not go especially if you are a women. Not only were there not enough women competitors, but I didn't have anyone in my division and they still refused to refund me. The same thing happened to another girl who was in a weight class below me. They simply forgot about her until she reminded them that she would like to participate in a different division. A lot of guys got robbed of their matches too. Some waited for hours only to have 1 match! What was even more tacky is that they had to pull out their own "referees" to help participate in those competition because there wasn't enough people. The owner, Chris Story, (can't believe someone like him is a black belt with his personality) was extremely condescending when I flat out said that I don't want to negotiate, I just want my refund. He offered credit, but honestly, hell no. We won't be back. Terrible facility: in the middle of PO'DUNK USA (nowhere), no A/C, no water fountain, no on-site medical supplies They do not honor their own rules: - Some people had to weigh in with gi's on and some people didn't - They did not have double elimination. Some people had it, and others only had 1 match. They guaranteed double elimination but half the people in my academy got short changed and only 1 match Something has to be said about a business who is so short sighted and not willing to refund customers. All they want is your money, but I hope their brand and reputation will eventually catch up with them. I know many of us won't be returning to compete at his shitty tournaments.

Super knowledgeable instructor, incredibly friendly school!…read more Dropped in today since I was in town for work. Nathan let me borrow a gi and welcomed me on the mat, no questions asked. What I like about his teaching style is that he will teach positionally, i.e. he will go over the options from a given position, and then transition into letting students get a feel for what option is "correct." This is perhaps the best way for students to develop a good game and is surprisingly rare to see in a lot of schools. I recommend training at Sloth BJJ for anyone in the area! Friendly vibes and no intimidating egos here!
