Bonsai Jiu-Jitsu Academy - NC

“Training at Bonsai Jiu-Jitsu Academy NC has been life changing for me. The academy provides a safe and welcoming environment for families. The professors and coaches are exceptional, the community is fantastic, and the overall culture is remarkable. I walked in as a blank canvas and over a short period of time (under 1 year) I have pushed myself and have had success at multiple tournaments. Bonsai is like a second family to me and I highly recommend this academy for anyone looking to challenge themselves.”

“Bonsai is a wonderful place to train. My daughters and I have been there for roughly six months. The coaches and professors are excellent at what they do. The school melds a serious training attitude with genuine care for one another. I would recommend this to anyone locally or if you just want to pick up some mat time while you are in the area!”

“Super dope gym! The structure for your training is like your typical gym. Warm ups, drilling then rolls. The gym was filled with awesome training partners and really had that family vibe. Everyone was so nice to me and introduced themselves immediately the moment I stepped on the mats. Professor Woods is a great teacher and even went out of his way to break down some mistakes I was making during live rolls and how to improve them. 10/10 would recommended and will definitely be coming back here again! Military and Veteran friendly. Thanks Bonzai for an amazing time! See you soon, OSSSSSSS”
