She train next door at the Factroy so we always see the Jiu-Jitsu building, decided to give it a try and as a parent, I like that their patient ... their structured... and educated in their craft. My daughter is someone that likes her personal space so an adjustment for her is allowing someone up and close and personal lol but she's adjusting just fine, the owner is very nice as well kids extra curricular activities are expensive... what I like about this facility is their not tryna take your money they want to make sure this is something your child wants to do... and even when they get started they check in with you asking you how does your child liking the class. Thank you guys

I have been interested in training BJJ Brazilian Jiu Jitsu for years and found Andre De Freitas a…read morequick 5 minute drive. I first met Andre who was very welcoming, humble, and has an eagerness to help. I didn't know he was the owner until I saw his picture on the wall and was pleasantly surprised at his welcoming attitude. As a beginner with no BJJ experience, I've been in the Fundamentals 1 class training with Professor Sabio. He is also humble, approachable, and has a teachers heart. He leads by example, keeps the class on task, and is knowledgeable. The leadership style breeds good attitude and relationships throughout the gym making a great experience! There's no macho trips here! I would highly recommend this gym to anyone who wants a great workout and experience in self-defense.

If you are serious about your physical and mental health, Stockton Jiu-Jitsu Academy is the gym for…read moreyou. This dynamic gym offers a variety of classes, including boxing and Valley Fit, which are the classes I personally attend. Many people worry that in a gym with large classes they may not receive individualized attention or feedback from coaches. However, that is not the case at Stockton Jiu-Jitsu Academy. The owners, Coach Rich and Coach Sraineth, are intentional about helping every student grow, regardless of class size. The boxing coaches, Coach Shane and Coach Pete, bring that same level of care and dedication to their classes. One personal experience I would like to highlight is my time in the Valley Fit program with Coach Sraineth. After coming off an injury, I joined the class weighing 187 pounds and struggling mentally. There were several movements I could not perform due to my injury, but without hesitation, Coach Sraineth modified the workouts so I could continue training safely without risking further injury. Because of her patience, encouragement, and intentional coaching, I now maintain a weight of around 160 pounds, have a healthier mindset, and feel stronger than ever. Coach Sraineth, along with the other coaches, played a significant role in my healing journey. That is what makes Stockton Jiu-Jitsu Academy special. You are not simply joining a gym--you are becoming part of a family.

Rich is very transparent about his expectations and is easy to talk to. He treats all of his students with respect and care. SJJA is a wonderful place to train and grow.

We usually pop in for open mats and cross train here from time to time. Super solid environment, great coaches, and a very family oriented vibe. Feels like one of those spots where you walk in and you're instantly good--no weird energy, just people training and helping each other get better. If you're in the Stockton area and looking for a place to get some good no-gi training in, definitely stop by and check them out.

He picked this school to train at! It was the atmosphere. The kids class are awesome! There are games involve, drills and friendly little competitions that kept kids very attentive (which is extremely difficult to do for 4,5,6 year olds). This gym is very clean and easy to get to (just west of I-5 freeway off of Hammer Lane). The classes are laid back and offers a very chill and stress free environment. I love that they play lots of 80's and reggae music in the background during classes. Tim and Stella are fantastic instructors! I liked so much for my son that I started training here too once I saw my son was getting after it! Honestly, I was apprehensive at first because I had a couple reasons: 1:I had an old neck injury and was scared of aggravating it, but I have not because everyone I roll with is super cool and respectful about my condition. 2: I train at another martial arts school; Tim and Stella are totally cool with it because they know I'm just trying to become a better martial artist. Everyone here is super cool and easy going. The instruction is first class. I had came from another Jiujitsu school and had to adjust to an entirely new way of thinking, analyzing my game and strategies (10th Planet is on another level). It was great starting over again and being humbled. One thing about training Jiu-Jitsu, it puts your ego in check pretty quickly! If you wanna train with ego, the mats quickly adjusts that issue. Come in with an open mind and an attitude of ready to learn. Learning Jiu-Jitsu is one the best empty handed skills one can learn to effectively have self defense skills. They gi and no gi classes.

He shows up everyday with great energy and a smile on his face, and you can tell how much he loves to work with them. My children have become come confident in the short time they've been going and they have so much fun every class. I've enjoyed watching so much that I've stayed for a couple adult classes myself. Jackson is just as attentive with his adult students. He is great at meeting you where you are and working with you to be your best. I was nervous, but not once have I felt uncomfortable or lost in one of his classes. His passion exudes from him and it is inspiring. I know everyone who steps into the gym is in great hands with him.

I would steer very very clear from this place if you are black or brown. The owners are racist and…read moreare not afraid of showing favoritism towards their yt clients. Black or brown folks will be ignored during classes. Sad, because the owners themselves are POC but they have very close ties to maga folks. They also promote people very easily. As long as you're paying, the 'master' doesn't care. Everyone gets a belt promotion. ***UPDATE*** Yelp seems to be hiding my review about this place. Let me add more info since it's so weird for my review to just disappear like that. I had a niece and nephew attend this place for a few years. At first things were great, then the owners got greedy and changed the timeframe of the classes as well as the quantity of classes you could take. They lost a lot of students because of this but those that were loyal stayed. My brother and sister in law contemplated on leaving since the classes were shorter and were only twice a week now instead of three times a week with an additional half hour. Oh, not to mention, THE PRICE STAYED THE SAME WITH THIS CHANGE. So not only were you paying MORE but got LESS. My nephew was on the spectrum and my niece was not. The difference in how they were treated was not what I was expecting. I came to a great amount of their lessons to watch but after seeing how the school was ran, couldn't bring myself to support this place. Obviously the decision to keep them there was not up to me but I couldn't stand it. Seeing the little black and brown kids get very obvious low standard treatment compared tho their Caucasian and Asian counterparts were incredibly sad. They are not at all prepared or even educated enough to handle children on the spectrum. The 'master' has lost his patience many times and tries to play it off but it's very obvious to those sitting and watching. Again, I would urge all black and brown parents to take their kids elsewhere.

This place is amazing. Everyone is willing to teach you and drill with an great attitude all…read morearound. Come check it out!

As a child on the spectrum, we have seen huge improvements in his joint attention, discipline, turn taking, and learning routines. There are kids in his class who have been attending longer and are great role models during class. I love that Master Garmany sets clear rules for how to behave in class. He has had my son sit out when he's misbehaving and it's been really good for him to have a direct consequence. He really doesn't want to have to sit out and understands that there is a certain way he needs to behave to participate. Stamps during class for good behavior and stickers at the end are the biggest deal to my son, it's really adorable. Master Garmany really has thought about everything when putting this business together. I love that the Little Dragon's class is so child friendly. Watching little films before class starts, listening to CoComelon during musical chairs, imaginative play during warm up and stretch time. It's really sweet. Now, here's where it gets even more exciting. There is a room full of toys and imaginative play that the little ones can go in, or their siblings. Great amount of seating area to watch your kids. There's an epic arcade for kids and parents to come nerd out in. And there is an awesome workout area for parents to use anytime. All of this is included in your child's membership! I also love that Master Garmany coordinates lots of events that the kids can attend, participate, or help out in. Star Wars movie nights, rock concerts, taco trucks, um yes please! Thank you Master Garmany for how much thought you've put into creating such a welcoming beautiful place.
