He walked…read morearound the block in his Gi with his Nerf gun, ready to take on any bad guys lurking around corners and hiding behind bushes. Marinoble's offers a variety of instruction in different disciplines! We went in and told them exactly what we wanted, and did not want, for the first few months and they were able to accommodate us with everything we needed. We love our instruction here so far, we look forward to going, and are sad to leave. My littlest is sleeping in his Gi uniform right now. Marinoble's offers such a variety of classes it will accommodate any child and adult. The facility is huge! They have five separate "floors" to instruct various classes simultaneously; including a cage, a boxing ring, a knife throwing center. This means parents can work out in their own class while the kids are having fun learning in another part of the gym. They offer MMA, Kickboxing, JuJitsu, Submission Grappling, BOK FU, Weapons Disarming, and traditional Boxing by actively competing trainers at both the amateur and professional level. My only requests would be large fans, please. The room smells of many sweating people. Okay, not major BO or anything, just man sweat. Of course, the women smell wonderful when we sweat [wink, wink] which can only help deodorize it so much! And the some of the equipment could be maintained better, but it's minor stuff, like having enough properly pumped and working speed bags. **So this is what sold me! The prices are reasonable and they offer family discounts off both the enrollment and tuition anywhere from 25% - 50% off. Then the owner, Dave Marinoble, offered free passes good for a few days of classes to try it out. When I asked when the days would begin, the manager, Kim, told me not to worry about it; to take my time sampling the various classes to help make a better decision. No pressure, wonderful. I brought the boys in and they happily welcomed them and gave them semiprivate instruction to catch up with the group. The looks on their faces said it all. The instructors were so happy and fun while they taught, my boys were grinning ear to ear the entire time. When they finished, their first question was, "When can we come back"? Another good sign! Happy, nurturing teachers, great management and the owner is awesome too. He teaches many of the classes. He has more energy than I've seen any person have! Maybe he can lend me some for my "tired parent" days? Instead, they got me working out in the back room and even I had a blast. After the first day, I told Kim, "We're sold! Give us a few more days to choose which classes", which was fine. For every age 5-85 and every skill level. They train active competitors, kids, soccer moms and everyone in between. The gym is female friendly. The variety of classes and times makes it easy to get a butt-kicking workout in every day. The coaching is fantastic! So far I've had Kim and Abrahm, and the boys have had Tiffany? and Dave Marinoble, plus a few others. We've liked them all! **I strongly recommend checking this place out for fitness, self defense training, and competitive sport, for an adult or a child! We're having lots of fun so far.

This is one of the best BJJ academies I've ever had the opportunity to train at. If you're in the…read moreOrangevale/Citrus Heights/Folsom area, give this place a look and come check out a trial class! While looking for a gym, I trained at a few academies in the area since moving to Sacramento. After a solid trial class and a few conversations with the owner/head coach, I knew this was the right training environment and a meaningful long-term investment for me. Being extremely skilled and experienced in a technical art is one thing, and being able to teach, demonstrate, and convey those skills to multiple audiences of varying ability is another thing. Chris Holdsworth has both of these capabilities in droves - he is able to teach the nuances and details of BJJ to a group of white belts to brown belts at the same time. There's always a detail he's able to highlight so that everyone is learning and improving their game. The best part of this academy is that no matter your niche, you can find the right education and training for your needs: - If you want to compete at the highest levels of competition/sport BJJ or even consider MMA and pro fights, Chris Holdsworth has the extensive experience and capability to help guide you through that process. - If you're a beginner and looking to learn the skills and get your feet wet, there are plenty more like you. - If you're a dad with kids looking to get in better shape and be healthier, there's a spot for you too. (This is me.) The overwhelming majority of folks who roll here do so to enjoy training and learn/improve in their BJJ journey, not to destroy or injure their training partners or stroke their egos. As an older guy with a family and a job I need to keep, safe training is paramount to me - this place provides just that environment, and I consider myself very lucky. The only drawback is that the classes can get very crowded because they're so popular! Hopefully when the gym grows to a larger training space it won't be an issue. Highest recommendation.

From day one, Chris's ability to explain and demonstrate techniques in a clear and simple manner has been amazing. I immediately felt myself improving and understanding jiu jitsu better than ever before. The atmosphere at this academy is genuinely welcoming. The people here are always willing to help, and it's a fresh, friendly environment where you can meet good people who love training and create a family-like bond. I couldn't imagine training anywhere else other than with Chris! If you're considering joining, I highly recommend coming in for a free class. You'll meet great people and learn from an amazing instructor. Holdsworth Jiu Jitsu Academy is the place to be!

I haven't seen other gyms set up like that. Jujutsu is pretty great, but they don't get credit for that. They only get credit for how they run their business and it needs improvement greatly. They're not open to suggestions, they don't care when you're injured. I used to have great workouts at the gym. After jujutsu and the injuries all my joints hurt and my workouts are nothing like they used to be. Things they don't tell you about jujutsu. The injury rate is 100%. They don't know how to teach without injury is one of their big problems. Beware and good luck if you decide to spend your time and money here.

That was really appealing to me. I've taken their BJJ classes as well as the kickboxing classes. Andre and Dom run the gym. They're both very welcoming. Andre is one of the most friendly people I've met. Coach Dom teaches the BJJ classes, and he's really encouraging. You can definitely learn a lot from him. Coach Luka does the kickboxing classes and he does not play with the workouts. They are tough but he's a really motivating coach and easy to learn from. You'll walk away feeling really accomplished! Overall, this is a great place to train BJJ, kickboxing, or even just weight training/ circuit classes. Whether you have trained before, or you're new to the mat, you'd have fun here.
