Hamel Jiu Jitsu Club

“dropped in to train (blue belt) and the instructor and students were all extremely friendly, welcoming and great training partners. nice mix of men and women, experience level, and different ages which i always value. highly recommend!”

“My 10 year old son G. was asking to learn Jiu Jistu and wow I am glad to have found Hamel Jiu Jitsu. He is learning self-confidence, physical fitness, discipline, and of course self defense. Coach Ryan is incredibly good with kids and has the perfect combination of teaching with skill, encouragement, and discipline. The other coaches that help with the class are also spectacular. Coaches Jake, Drake, and Ka are skilled and help keep the classes fun, educational, safe and focused. And they are such good role models for the kids to interact with. These coaches are real heroes of our community. This is a very welcoming and positive gym/dojo and it is such a great way for these kids to learn so many skills beyond just the physical techniques of jiu jitsu. It has really transformed my sons young life to be involved in such a positive experience. Seeing boys and girls of different ages, sizes and ability be able to learn with each other like this was a suprize to me, but these coaches really make it work. I think it is a testament to Jiu Jitsu itself that technique and confidence really is an equalizer. Age, size and gender do not play as big of a role as I would have guessed because there are some much younger and smaller kids than my son who he has a lot to learn from! Such a great experience, thank you to Darrin and the whole team at Hamel Jiu Jitsu for making this available to my son.”

“Just moved to Minnesota and we were looking for a fun and engaging gym to pick up our Jiujitsu journey where we left off. Hamel made an excellent first impression and we are very excited to be joining the team!! :)”

“Fantastic coaches, welcoming atmosphere, all around good vibes. New to the sport of jiu jitsu, but Drake, Darrin and Benny make it fun to learn.”

“Hamel Jiu Jitsu Club is an amazing BJJ gym with exceptional coaches and a fantastic culture focused on mutual support rather than competition. The atmosphere encourages personal growth, making it an ideal place for those looking to excel in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu while fostering a sense of community.”
