It’s more than a gym—it’s a family where everyone encourages each other to be their best on and off the mats.

My 4.5 year old son recently started the Jr Class twice weekly. I am so impressed with Playground Jiu Jitsu. The atmosphere and staff are wonderful. My son loves when he has class and asks daily when he can return. Vin does an amazing job at keeping my highly energetic 4.5 year old engaged and focused. I highly recommend bringing your child to a class to see for yourself!

Super nice and clean gym, one of my good friends just started to jiu jitsu here, invited me down for open map. Everyone was super welcoming and super nice, no one trying to rip your head off lol, looking forward to visiting again soon, if you're ever looking for a place to drop in and roll or be a part of, would highly suggest starting here. Wish it was a little closer to home.
