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.

JJM Fresno is an exemplary (& in my opinion) the premier BJJ academy in Fresno, CA. Gorgeous, clean, & brand new facility!

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...

Sure, the place does not look fancy like other martial arts studio, but we're here to learn self-defense, not look pretty in a Gi. There are many senior black belts who are helpful and knowledgable. Best of all is Kyoshi Sid Rayford. He has a great sense of humor, which is complimented by his caring wife Renshi Amy. Their experiences includes teaching special needs, former teacher for Le Grand High School, teaching home-school students and much much more. You know it's the real deal when you spar with Kyoshi and try to kick him. Rather than advancing your moves, you ponder why does your shin hurt so much?! His bones are super calcified, a sign of a great master. Did I mention that you have the opportunity to learn weapons/kobudo: Tonfas, Jigen-Ryu style swordship, Sais and Bo Staff.
