“I’ve been to other BJJ gyms, and this one is by far the most friendly, welcoming, humble, and professional! Max is an amazing coach, a very kind person, and everyone at this gym is so friendly. You feel like you’ve known them for a while even on your first day. Not only do you learn technique and practice drills, but you get to roll and sweat like you’ve never sweat before! I have never felt this much excitement about going to BJJ! 10/10 Amazing Gym!”

“I started training at Mendocino Jiu Jitsu a little over a year ago to learn self defense and it’s been amazing. As an elder millennial female trying a very male dominated sport for the very first time, I was a little intimidated and unsure, but I was put at ease immediately. The owner, Max, is incredibly knowledgeable and dedicated, and an excellent coach and teacher. The community I’ve found there is invaluable, and I’ve learned so much in the year that I’ve been training. Highly recommend!”
