Lincoln Jiu Jitsu Academy

“Our family can’t say enough good things about Lincoln Jiu-Jitsu Academy. Our two boys, ages 11 and 8, started training here in August 2024. When they first began, they couldn’t even do a push-up. Fast forward to now, and they’re knocking out over a hundred without blinking and getting ready to compete in their first Jiu-Jitsu World League championship. The progress they’ve made physically is impressive, but even more important is the boost in their self-esteem and confidence. It’s also given them a healthy, productive outlet to burn off energy and work through all the emotions that come with being preteens. My husband joined in February 2025, and it’s been just as meaningful for him. The workouts are challenging, the instruction is top-notch, and the community is incredibly supportive. It’s not just a gym, it’s a place where people lift each other up and push one another to be better. Chuey and Manny, the brothers who own and run the academy, have created a truly welcoming environment. They treat everyone like family, and it shows in every interaction. From day one, we felt like we belonged, and that’s something you don’t find just anywhere. If you’re even slightly considering trying Jiu-Jitsu—whether it’s for your kids, yourself, or both—we highly recommend checking this place out. It’s made a huge difference in our lives, and we think it could do the same for you.”

“We’ve had such a great experience at Lincoln Jiu Jitsu Academy. The coaches are not only highly skilled but also incredibly patient and encouraging. From the very first class, the environment felt welcoming, structured, and supportive. One thing that really stands out is the strong sense of community the coaches have built ... whether you're brand new or in an advanced class, students of all levels support, guide, and cheer each other on. That kind of culture speaks volumes about the leadership here. As a parent, I’ve noticed such a positive change in my child’s confidence, focus, and sense of responsibility. Jiu-jitsu has become an important part of our child's growth. We’re so grateful to be part of this gym!”

“From the moment I walked through the doors, the Moreno Brothers took me in and treated me like I was family. Chuy and Manny are incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and thorough in the manner they teach and lead their class. An excellent beginner and advanced jiu jitsu studio for any individual adults or children wanting to learn. Whenever I’m in the Sacramento, Lincoln area, this is the gym I’m Coming back to. Thank you Lincoln Jiu Jitsu Academy and Moreno Brothers .”

“I'm convinced that this is not only one of the best gyms around the greater Sacramento area but also in California. From the personal, welcoming staff to the open and friendly people at the gym, you'll immediately feel like family. Highly recommend to anyone who's interested in Jui Jitsu for the first time or someone with experience.”

“Training under Chuy and Manny for over 16 years has been an honor and rewarding experience —Lincoln Jiu-Jitsu Academy offers world-class instruction for adults and kids, top-tier training partners, and an inspiring BJJ community. Highly recommended.”
