I say all this so to give context that I have been around, trained and met the best of them and this is where I chose to train when I was in Las Vegas. Mica is the person who brought jiu jitsu to Las Vegas, he is the OG. He's an excellent instructor as "close to the source" as you'll find. Amazing techniques encompassing everything from modern leg lock games to the stuff Helio and Carlos worked on in Brasil. The facility is world class, with two giant mat areas, every class has a world champion and at least 5 black belts. You will probably be the rest round in this house, everyone kicked my butt. Giant lockers for make and females, showers, cars are in a safe space. I checked out all the academies, did internal references, and I can honestly say you won't find better.

Last month I took a self-defense class sponsored by LVMPD at a different martial arts studio and I…read moreenjoyed it so much that I decided to sign up for another one. This self-defense class took place at 9th Isle BJJ (stands for Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu), which is close to North Las Vegas airport. I live in Henderson, so this martial arts studio was a bit of a drive from my house, but it was worth it! I was required to sign three different waiver forms that were emailed to me before participating. This place is in a complex that's mostly office space, but otherwise it's very easy to find off the main road. The inside is literally a warehouse, so while it was a little chilly when I first entered, I didn't feel chilly anymore once I started moving around. We were instructed by Professor Junebug (?), who owns 9th Isle BJJ with his wife. While I did have fun and got a nice workout in, at the same time it was a little difficult than the last self-defense class I went to, because most of the moves had so many steps to them and it was hard to process all of them at the same time. Three other instructors who worked there helped everyone guide us step by step and correct our moves if possible. Everybody there was very friendly and helpful and they all motivated me to continue taking self-defense classes in the future.

Just yesterday, all the coaches came together, rallying family and friends to participate in the KLUC 98.5 Toy Drive, showing that giving back is part of their core values. At 9th Isle BJJ, you're not just training--you're becoming part of something bigger. You and your family, will feel loved and welcomed. Go visit, feel the energy, and see what makes this place so special.

I've been training Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu for over 17 years and have been on the mats at many…read moredifferent academies. I can say without hesitation that Ronda's gym is by far the absolute best place for traditional, fundamental BJJ. ​Having known Ronda for over ten years, I've always admired her integrity, character, and dedication. She brings that exact same standard to her coaching. Her deep focus on core mechanics and solid fundamentals gives every student, from total beginners to upper belts, a foundation that actually holds up. ​Beyond the high-level technique, Ronda has built an incredible gym culture. It's welcoming, free of ego, and respectful. You're pushed to grow in a safe, supportive environment where everyone looks out for one another. ​If you want authentic, fundamental BJJ in a gym with real heart and community, Ronda's place is second to none. Highly recommended!

I trained under Coach Dustin for the last 3 years before moving to Illinois, and I can't say enough…read moregood things about him or the academy. The technical instruction is outstanding, whether you're brand new to jiu jitsu or preparing for any level of competition. Safety is always the top priority, but the training is still tough and pushes you to improve every day. What really sets this gym apart is the culture. It truly feels like a family. Coach Dustin invests in the people who invest in their training. He traveled with me to competitions, gave his time outside of normal class hours, and was always willing to help me improve. That level of dedication is hard to find. One thing I always appreciated was that class didn't just end because the clock hit a certain time. If people were still getting rounds in, Coach Dustin would stay until everyone finished unless he genuinely had somewhere to be. It showed how much he cared about giving his students every opportunity to train. I left Las Vegas because of a move, and leaving this academy was the hardest part. I made lifelong friends here and became a much better grappler because of Coach Dustin and everyone at Kuleana/Cobrinha GV. If you're looking for a place that offers world-class instruction, a welcoming environment, and coaches who genuinely care about their students, this is the place.
