My family has trained here 6 years now. My husband, three children, and even myself for 2 1/2 years. We love the gym, and have been through all the ups and downs of COVID and post-COVID with the gym. Coach/owner Monte is a wealth of knowledge and technician. Coach Marcello was and is beloved, but he has returned to Brazil. Coach Jack and Nato have been excellent leading the youth classes. Kids have fun and have great technique, gym is clean and friendly and will push you to be your best. Staff is knowledgeable, approachable, and kind. We love our gym. Highly recommend.

I have been training at Humboldt Jiu Jitsu for a little over three years now. Was looking to get in shape and learn some grappling skills, but I also found an amazing community of individuals who support and encourage each other to be the best versions of themselves. The instruction is top notch and the instructors create a culture of welcome for anybody who walks through that door. Everybody who trains is on their own journey and this is honored and valued at this gym. If you have any interest in training Jiu Jitsu, there is no better place to start your journey than at Humboldt Jiu Jitsu. First week is free so come try it out!

I tried a class on a whim 6 years ago and have since made this place my second home. Welcoming and friendly training partners with dedicated and helpful staff, tons of classes to choose from, and supportive and family-oriented atmosphere. There are opportunities to compete and train with affiliate gyms, and guest teachers regularly host seminars. The high-quality of training is unparalleled.

I attended the Women’s Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu class on Friday for the first time, and I couldn’t have had a better experience! From the moment I walked in, the women at the gym made me feel incredibly welcomed and comfortable. The atmosphere was supportive, the instruction was excellent, and I had a fantastic time learning something new. The energy in the gym is amazing, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking to try BJJ in a positive and empowering environment!

Love Humboldt JiuJitsu! Since the very first time I felt so welcomed and supported that now feels like a second home! Maria Fernanda, the front desk lady is the sweetest person I’ve ever met. She will make sure you feel comfortable and seen. If you are around the area or travelling, make sure you stop by! Thank you Monty and Marcelo and the rest of the staff for creating such a warm atmosphere where everyone feels welcomed.
