Checkmat Menifee

“I’ve been training at this gym for 2.5 years and it’s been life-changing. Jiu-jitsu helped me get my confidence back after a rough time, and the people here have been nothing but supportive. The coaches and training partners constantly push me to grow, and many have become close friends. It’s intimidating at first, but if you’re thinking about it, sign up for a free class! One of the best decisions of my life. The kids’ program is amazing too. They’re having fun while learning, and they’re always earning medals at local tournaments. It seems like every time I stop by, there’s a new success to celebrate. Grateful to be part of such a motivating and positive environment while I train the sport I love!”

“We love Checkmat Menifee! The professors and coaches are so patient and good with the kids and take the time to make sure they understand the concepts being taught in each class. The confidence that our kids have gained transcends beyond the gym. We’re grateful to have found Checkmat!”

“My daughter wanted to join something to make friends and do a sport. I always worked night shifts and never could take her to practice. Once I got on day shift, i asked her to trust me and take up BJJ. Once she tried out at Checkmat Menifee, she was hooked. Off the bat, her school work improved and self-starting chores without reminders kicked in. 6month later, shes loves competing and seeing all her friends at the gym. The Owners are amazing at creating events to let the kids socialize off the mat and solidify the family dynamic. I Kid you not, Checkmat Menifee & BJJ has improved my family’s lives. I wish nothing but the best for the all the Professors, Coaches and Owners(Fonseca family.)”

“My daughter has been part of this gym since January 2024. This isn’t just a gym you’re treated like family! My daughter has been taught by the best. If you are looking for a gym that feels like home where your child will learn skills and discipline look no further. It doesn’t matter your skill level or if you or your child (boy or girl) is looking to compete look no further this is the spot! Much love to Checkmat Menifee!!!!!!”

“We love checkmat! My kids are 7 and 5 and we’ve been training there for almost a year. My kids confidence has improved and when we first started they were scared to go on the mat but with persistence and consistency they now love it and look forward to practice and competitions! We use homeschool funds through mission vista to pay for classes, highly recommend this gym and the coaches there also!”
