I have been training at Chris Holdsworth’s Martial Arts Academy for over a year now and I can’t imagine training anywhere else. Chris is an amazing teacher and is extremely knowledgeable and detailed in his instruction and invested in every student’s success. He welcomes people of all skill levels and makes you feel comfortable from the moment you step onto the mats. The atmosphere and community is one of a kind and the people who train there are awesome. I highly recommend this gym for anyone looking to start of continue their BJJ journey!

Best gym around the Sacramento area! Just started training again about two weeks ago with Chris and the team and already feel like I’m a part of a family. Everyone there is super cool and down to earth and the instructors make it easy to learn and ask questions. The atmosphere and camaraderie of the gym keeps me wanting to go back every day.

I took my 6 year old son to two different BJJ locations and I never was happy with the engagement and the training my son got out of it, then I stepped into Chris Holdsworth academy and this was by far the best training for me and my son. Highly recommend Chris and all the trainers for beginners or advanced experience. Keep up the good work guys

It’s my first time in any combat sport and this place is just so great! I researched a bunch of gyms in the area and this is the only one that emphasizes bonding among the students and encourages asking questions. When I went to my first class, I was nervous, but felt right at home with Darin reaching out to me ahead of time and then walking me through the warmups and introducing me to the other ladies. After a month, I feel confident in my abilities as I learn from some of the best in the field. Also, they take safety very seriously here so I know we can do drills and roll and I’m fully supported by this amazing community.
