Harlingen Jiu Jitsu Club

“Jake and the boys at HJJC are awesome! Great place to train, wide open mat space and great environment to be at. Thanks HJJC!”

“Great gym, all the instructors are amazing. My 6 yr old started last week and he loves it. All the instructors are really good and very patient with the little ones. The kids really pay attention to the instructions given and the drills that are being practiced. I would 100% recommend this place to any parents looking for a gym. Jacob the head coach was so welcoming and took the time with us to explain everything to us.”

“I can’t say enough great things about Harlingen Jiu Jitsu and Professor Jake Montalvo. From day one, the environment has been welcoming, respectful, and focused on helping every student grow—regardless of age, experience, or fitness level. Professor Jake brings a level of passion, humility, and technical skill that sets the tone for the entire gym. His instruction is clear, encouraging, and rooted in real experience. What makes this place stand out even more is the community. It truly feels like a family. Whether you’re looking to build confidence, improve your fitness, or train to compete, Harlingen Jiu Jitsu is the place to be. I’m proud to be a part of this team and grateful for Professor Jake’s leadership and dedication. -Bobby”

“Jake, the head instructor, is incredibly knowledgeable and insanely welcoming. The other black belts are also knowledgeable and are always open to share their techniques and styles, they get you up to speed incredibly quick. Overall, one of the most welcoming gyms I've ever been too, it really is a family here. Would recommend to anyone, whether beginner or experienced.”

“I'm still fairly new to this...I haven't been to that many schools but I can say for sure without a doubt this place is great. All different levels, great instruction, and all different intensity levels. It's been a blessing to learn so much in the short time I've been coming.”
