Bellum Brazilian Jiu Jitsu

“I had a few years of experience with BJJ before moving to Minneapolis, but I took a year off while exploring different gyms across the metro. After trying several places, I finally found Bellum BJJ—and I’m so glad I did. From day one, the community was incredibly welcoming and friendly, making it easy to get back into training. The coaches are knowledgeable, the environment is supportive, and the training partners quickly became great friends. If you’re looking for a high-quality gym with a great atmosphere, Bellum is the place to be!”

“Bellum has become my second home. All of the instructors are patient and more than willing to work with you for whatever it is you need to improve on. Self defense training aside, being a part of the community is extremely fulfilling and I now believe an important part to my mental health. I’ve made new friends, networked jobs, and met all kinds of interesting people while on the mats. Come in for a free week and see if you like it! I fundamentally believe everyone/anyone can train jiu jitsu. I only regret not starting sooner!”

“I was in my late 20's feeling like I had lost my sense of purpose. I miss being a part of a team, a community, and competing. I googled Martial Arts training near me and Bellum populated with a 5 star rating. I saw the schedule online and did a walk in the very next day. My life has changed drastically since I made this decision. I am now a 6 time champion across 3 weight divisions, coach kids classes, networked a new job, made new friends many of whom I consider family now. Highly recommend anyone willing to take a leap of faith and try something new to come checkout Bellum.”

“My kids and my husband both love taking classes here. My kids particularly like how well run the classes are with no one messing around and causing issues with other students being able to learn. This is a rare find these days.”

“I was travelling to St Paul for work and went to and open mat on Saturday morning I had and awesome time. Lots of people with different level to roll with, all super friendly and welcoming. I highly recommend Bellum. Thanks Derek and the whole crew”
