Wonderful to be able to share the mats with you. Thanks again to coach Sang Jun Shin for being so generous with his time and knowledge. He has a wonderful way of explaining the fundamentals in an easily digestible and effective way. He’s training up some killers. Encourage anyone to drop in and check them out.

Galveston BJJ is a great place to train and grow. The instructor, Shin, welcomed me and my friends with open arms and has developed our skills rapidly in the last few months. He is an amazing teacher with an impressive judo and jiu-jitsu background. He teaches things in ways that are easy to understand, and he is very patient. The environment is friendly, and the team wants you to be there, no matter your skill level.

Evan Gideon is a great instructor. He teaches Jiu Jitsu with easy to understand instructions. He makes sure he answers any questions and utilizes other black belt instructors to help teach class. The other students are all very respectful and no one comes to the mat with arrogance. Everyone is welcome. I drive from Texas City to Galveston BJJ because I know this is the best place to train in the county. It's a very small gym but it is about to double in size November 2017. Evan is a very sincere person and you can see how much he loves people as well as the community. He is great with the children. He is polite while still firm in holding the kids to his standards.

Everything about this gym is excellent. My oldest son and I have been training here for awhile. The people are awesome, and the instruction is top-notch. I would highly recommend this gym to anyone of any age. Both Shen and Caleb are great with kids, and their attention to detail is incredible when teaching technique.
