Groundstone Brazilian Jiu Jitsu

“I trained at Groundstone while visiting for the week, this place is awesome! The facility is fantastic! Professor Tulsa is incredibly knowledgeable and runs a top knotch program. Everyone I met was friendly and welcoming. I was training around an injury at the time and everyone I trained with was super accommodating and made sure I got good rounds while training safely. I have trained at many gyms while traveling over the years, I was particularly impressed by Groundstone, 100% will train here again!”

“My 10 y/o daughter trained at Groundstone BJJ while we were on vacation in Surf City. She felt welcomed and had a great experience! The instructor was excellent and was great with the kids. Will definitely be back when vacationing. Highly recommend checking Groundstone BJJ out!”

“If you’re in the area and looking for a clean, welcoming place to train, this is it. The owners and coaches are all solid people who genuinely want you to succeed, and it shows in every aspect of the gym. There’s something for everyone, with plenty of teammates at each belt level to challenge and help you grow. The women’s class is particularly special. Coach Bianca has clearly invested a lot into growing it over the years. It’s a safe, motivating, and positive environment. There’s always a challenge, lesson, or joke to be had. The childcare option and the ability to swap a missed women’s class for a coed class are awesome. The kids’ program has done so much for my kiddos over the past year. It has drastically improved their confidence, ability, self-discipline, leadership, and overall physical fitness, on top of their developing Jiu Jitsu skills. We’ve loved seeing their growth in class and competition, as well as the friendships they’ve formed. Between the coaches, teammates, instruction, rolling, facility, and culture, it’s a quality gym in every aspect. There are various levels of kids’ classes from toddlers to teens, a homeschool class, 6 a.m. classes, a ladies’ class, evening gi and nogi classes, plus Saturday open mat. Some people have been training here for years, while others pop in on vacation. The first class is free too! Groundstone has had a profoundly positive impact on my entire family, and I can’t believe how lucky we are to have this gym so close to home.”

“Excellent training facility with top notch instruction. I popped for the 6 AM class for few days of training while on vacation and met some awesome people from Professor Tulsa Simpson to the white belts who recently started training. Clean facility, no egos, great experience. If you are in the area, check out Groundstone Brazilian Jui Jitsu....you will be glad you did.”

“Took advantage of the opportunity for a couple of drop ins at Groundstone while on vacation in the area. The class structure was similar to what I am used to, the facility was clean, and the people were great. Overall, I am very appreciative for the opportunity to have done some training here.”
