Sensei Drue is a great teacher and mentor who will push you to be your best; he's helped me train for California State Games, IBJJF, and NAGA tournaments.

My stepdaughter and I have been coming here for about 6 months now and we don't plan on training anywhere else while we are in the area.

This is a 2 part review for myself and my 6 year old daughter. Joe has been our coach for about 3…read moremonths now. As a person Joe is friendly, present to everyone in his gym, and most importantly he's genuine. As a coach you can see his decades of experience in BJJ in action on the mat. He is extremely detailed in technique, sees all the counters, and treats it like a chess game. Joe's classes are well thought out as the drillng are connected through multiple days. If you're a newbie, looking to move gyms (like I did), or seasoned in search for upper belts to spar with - choose Kainga. For my daughter it was rough leaving her first coach and all the little friends. She gets challenged with Joe though in fitness, discipline, and accountability that I want her to get out of a self defense class. Joe has displayed patience in her original push back to participate. He listened to my input to help her feel comfortable which I appreciate as a parent. Adult members regularly assist on the mat to provide extra support in lessons and assure the kids train safely. She now looks forward to going to class, has fun, and learns the applicable basics she can apply if she's ever bullied at school. The gym and its members provide a great environment. Competitive rolls or you can communicate to take it easy. Egos are left at the door and all upper belts enjoy offering tips. Regularly members hang out after class is done, strenghtening the gym comradery. Mats are cleaned throughout the day. For your budget - monthly fees are fair, no registration fee/ in house gi requirement, and the quality/ amount of classes available make it worth what you pay. This gym is definitely NOT A MONEY GRAB and all about learning, competition, and a safe environment.

This review is for my experience with this business back in 2023. Gym was overcrowded with too many…read morekids and the staff only cared about the "best performing" kids. My kiddo could easily tell. It is not rocket science. Staff was rude when my card payment didn't go through due to it being reported lost and me not recalling it was specifically this card that was on file with Kainga Jiu Jitsu. This was after paying on time for several months, so there was no need for the nasty and aggressive attitudes. They claim to be about family, but what they really mean is money and those they perceive as valuable to their gym. Lame experience, lame attitudes, and lame business structure. I do not recommend this place at all. There are plenty of other jiu jitsu places in and around Chula Vista and San Diego that offer a better service at a lower cost without the supposed "family" model.

It was like having three different dads. It is such a welcoming environment and the gym is more like your family than just a gym. I'm not sure if they still do this but when i trained here you had to get good grades in order to train, anything lower than a C and you were in the back doing homework before you could train. We were taught self discipline in the best of ways. The kind of ways that stick with you.This gym changes lives and it doesn't go unnoticed. I'd recommend this gym to anybody with a child to be honest.. your kid doesn't necessarily have to fight if you're worried about that maybe you need your child to get some exercise or just need them to find some friends or they need to boos their confidence. This gym was my first home but could be your child's home away from home.

The best jiu jitsu in the southbay! I'll start off by saying Jiu jitsu is not for everyone so…read moreplease understand that first when you read the other negative reviews here. My son started training here first when he was 7. He loved it so much I eventually started training here and became addicted to the art. I don't think many people understand that this is the best training you'll find in the South Bay. The coach will push you, your kids or both and yes at times it's not easy but if you want easy then you should probably go somewhere else. If you're looking for something to help with your health, fitness, stress, anxiety or whatever it might be that your dealing with give this a try and you might find that it's what you've been needing in your life. Everyone here is like a big family because the coach does a great job bringing everyone together and everyone is chill and welcoming.
