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. Big thank you to 10th Planet Stockton for always showing love to Vida and making her feel like she's part of the family every time we come through!

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.

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 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.

Typical practice involves warm ups, throw practice/grappling practice, and free sparring. It's no nonsense. The class vibe is really casual, everyone is joking around, but when it comes to judo we take it very seriously. The class is run by two black belts, although there could be only one black belt on a given day. Class size is extremely small, but it helps because you get more attention. This club shares the same space as Ronin Jiu-Jitsu. There's both a kids class and an adults class. Class rates are very reasonable. EDIT- The kids class is fairly large (more than 10 kids). The adults class is small (about 4-5 adults)

Seeing the positive impact Sensai Jason and Cortez Full Circle was having on my boys, I decided I would sign up myself. Since signing up just 3 months ago, I have gotten in much better shape, met new friends from all walks of life and I have began to learn ways to defend myself to help ensure I make it home to my family. I would recommend, training at Cortez Full Circle to anyone. It doesn't matter where you come from, or what you believe in, you are welcome to come give Jiu Jitsu a try and will be welcomed with open arms just as I was! Lastly, I'd like to touch on some of the negative reviews that are on here. Sensai Jason and Lillie are 2 amazing people who I believe are out here making a difference in the world. When my boys and I signed up, everything was explained to us in complete detail and further explained if I didn't quite understand something. I am sorry you had a negative experience but Sensai Jason and Lillie are here to help and never ever in the business to do people wrong. I will continue to support Cortez Full Circle as they are making a positive impact on both my life and the future of my boys. Do not let a couple people, out of the thousands Sensai Jason has trained sway your drive or decision on giving Cortez Full Circle a try!!!! I'll see ya on the mat!!!!!
