North Park Jiu Jitsu Academy

“Best Jiu-Jitsu gym I’ve ever trained at. I’ve been coming here consistently for 2y now and it’s the first place that really helped me stay motivated and see real progress… Super friendly environment, whether you want to compete or just train, learn, and make new friends. Mike and all other coaches are great! Highly recommend!!!!”

“Training under Professor Mike has been an amazing experience. He’s not only a highly skilled black belt, but also an outstanding teacher who breaks down techniques in a way that’s clear and easy to apply. The environment he creates is welcoming, respectful, and motivating for all levels. What I appreciate most is his genuine care for his students’ progress—on and off the mats. You’ll improve your Jiu-Jitsu, build confidence, and be part of a great community. If you're looking for top-notch instruction and a positive place to train, I highly recommend Professor Mike!”

“Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned grappler, this gym has something for everyone. The environment is super welcoming, the instructors are knowledgeable and technical, and the overall vibe is respectful. Classes are well-structured, and you can tell there’s a strong emphasis on fundamentals, flow, and continuous growth. The gym is clean, the mats are well-maintained, and there’s plenty of parking, which is always a plus. You’re also surrounded by a ton of great restaurants perfect for that much-needed post-training. Grateful for the hospitality and the good energy. Till next time! Thank you Prof. Mike!”

“I started training about a year ago, but I’ve been traveling a lot so it was hard for me to stay consistent. But every time I come back, everyone is always welcoming. The instructors remembered my name from day one, which made me feel really comfortable. Sometimes I struggled with confidence, but the people here always supported me. It’s a great community where everyone wants you to get better. I’ve learned not only jiujitsu techniques but also things that help in daily life, like being more disciplined, focused, and confident. I love North Park JiuJitsu so much, and I even moved to be closer to the gym! Hahaha”

“North Park BJJ has a family friendly welcoming atmosphere for people of any athletic ability. My daughter chose to continue here after a few introductory classes. She was 8. And she’s continued on into her adolescence. She inspired me to join. Jiu Jitsu is a great sport that’s practical in its approach and is a wonderful bond for my daughter and I. Along the way we’ve both made friends on and off the mat. North Park BJJ really has that special magic of community, learning, and friendship. And you learn to escape a choke. What’s not to love?”
