Mentality Martial Arts - Jiu Jitsu

“Hands down the best gym in Jacksonville for kids and adults! The coaches are very talented and thorough but also VERY thoughtful and professional! We’re proud to be members of Mentality!”

“Our son, Beau, has been in the little kids class for 2 years now. I can’t say enough about Coach John and Coach Sarah. They have made such a difference in Beau’s ability to concentrate, team work, and following instruction. Beau’s confidence has skyrocketed and it has impacted his learning at school. His teacher suggested he try jujitsu in VPK and that was a God send of a recommendation. We are so grateful for everything they have done for our son.”

“My son and I have been training at Mentality Martial Arts for about a year and a half. We're so happy to be a part of this community. John is a kind & respectful instructor who fosters a safe training environment and genuinely cares about his students' progress. Whether you are a hobbyist or active competitor, he will support you in your goals. Sarah does a wonderful job running the kids program and makes sure each class is organized, fun, and engaging. She's very patient and accommodating with each of her students. My son has thrived here and continues to develop skills and confidence that will carry him throughout life. There's no doubt we've experienced lots of growth in our Jiu-Jitsu thanks to this amazing and supportive gym!”

“Our daughter has been going to mentality for almost a year now. She struggles with independence and being able to pay attention. She has really grown and found her place at this gym. The coaches are great and her fellow grapplers are always welcoming. We love it here and appreciate how welcoming them have been!”

“Are you overweight, anxious, stressed, or maybe you just wanna learn how to defend yourself? Well jiu-jitsu is right for you, here at Mentality Martial Arts Coach John and the other amazing training partners have made the most welcoming space that I’ve ever been and have helped me develop new skills, lose a bunch of weight and even gave me the courage to compete in a competition. All advertisement jokes aside this place is full of amazing people and is a great place to start your martial arts journey. If you just want to learn a new skill or even compete this is definitely the place to be.”
