    Gi, JIU jitsu
    jonathan g.

    I was looking for a JIU jitsu studio so can put my 6 y/o daughter in, so she can learn self defense, discipline and hard work. I found that in tatami fit and teacher Chelsea! Seeing all the kids come in and develop these life skills and discipline is great for our kids and our community! After seeing teacher Chelsea train my daughter and other kids, I got inspired to pursue the life long mastery of JIU-jitsu as well. Now my daughter and I have a bond and life skills we can share! It's also a Gracie school certified JIU-jitsu school! Another great feature is you get 25% off your dues after first family member join!

    Their Jiu Jitsu program is not one you'll typically find at other Brazilian Jiu Jitsu only schools. It's taught by 3 people Erico - a Brazilian Black Belt, Brad - a traditional Small Circle Jiu Jitsu stylist, and his daughter Chelsea - a Brazilian purple belt. I sat in on an adult class and both Erico and Brad both wound up teaching half the class. It's unique in that half the class is dedicated to traditional standup Jiu Jitsu and then the later half is on Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ). It's an extremely non competitive environment and great for adults who are just starting out and have never had any martial arts training. Suffice to say the students here won't be winning any tournaments but nor would they want to. Typically students here don't roll/spar on a regular basis as Brazilian jiu-jitsu only studios do. They are REALLY good with small kids and IMHO this is where they shine. Classes are small and personalized and they teach with discipline while having fun. I've started bringing my daughter here and she loves it.

    Tatami kids, poised and ready.

    For the combative class is it warm up then technique's or just straight techniques for the hour long class? hope to hear from you soon!

    You can arrive a bit early to warm up.. We review what we practiced last class for 10min and then we will be instructed through the movement of the day with breakdown of movement and practice of each.. it's a great inclusive, slower paced approach… Read more

    I really wanted to love this place because, to be fair, the quality of the Brazilian jiu jitsu…read moretraining here is excellent. The instructors clearly know what they're doing, and the kids' program is well-structured and engaging. However, as a parent, the overall experience leaves a lot to be desired. The biggest issue? No WiFi for parents. If you're going to have parents sitting around for an hour or more during classes, it's pretty unreasonable not to provide even basic internet access. Not everyone can just disconnect from work or responsibilities during that time. The waiting area is minimal, and without WiFi, you're essentially stuck doing nothing or burning through your mobile data. In this day and age, that feels like a pretty basic amenity that should be standard--especially for a place that otherwise operates at a high level. So yes, great training--but not a very parent-friendly environment. Until they address this, it's hard to fully recommend.

    I can't imagine not coming here- my 2nd home- till the day I leave this earth…read more. The best environment to learn in a very fun , safe environment where the level of teaching is very high. They are there everyday teaching-not absentee Professor Marco who I met in 2007.. Professor Christina co-owns the school & they are married to each other. One of the best decisions I ever made was to join this school all those years ago
