Blackheart Jiu Jitsu

“I’ve trained at a few places before, and I can confidently say this gym stands out in the best possible way. The owner has created an incredible environment that’s both welcoming and pushes you to excel. The instruction is top-notch, with attention to detail that really helps you grow, whether you’re a beginner or more advanced. What sets this place apart is the sense of community. Everyone here is respectful, supportive, and committed to helping each other improve. If you’re looking for a place to learn and really fall in love with Jiu-Jitsu, this is it. I can’t recommend it enough.”

“I stopped by Blackheart Jiu Jitsu in Jacksonville while I was in town for work. Coach Allen showed terrific techniques, my training partners were all great, and the gym showed tremendous hospitality. If I’m ever back in Jacksonville, NC, I will definitely drop by again. If you’re interested in training Jiujitsu in the area, I highly recommend it!”

“Blackheart Jiu Jitsu & the attached gym are both welcoming, great environments, and good at what they are doing. Add the value and schedule and it’s hard to beat.”

“Blackheart is the best gym that I have had the privilege to train at here in Jacksonville North Carolina. I am happy to have witnessed the amount of notable success it has obtained as well. I am thankful to have known and learn from all of my great coaches and training partners who have contributed to my learning and growth. Thank you for being a part of my journey.”

“Fantastic jiujitsu gym in Jacksonville, NC. The quality of the instruction is absolutely top notch and you can tell the professors care about passing the best possible BJJ skills to their students. The gym has a friendly, welcoming atmosphere, but this is also absolutely a place to train hard. I've also known Professor Shawhan for some time now and considering the care he has for the people he's teaching, there's not really any other jiujitsu gym in the country I'd rather train at if moving around just for jiujitsu was an option. I cannot recommend this gym and these instructors enough”
