Rise Above JiuJitsu

“Been training here for a few years, the level of training you can get with Shannon is incredible compared to other gyms. Also, if you’re just getting started this is a great place to learn. Some gyms aren’t as welcoming!”

“Top Jiu Jitsu training in San Diego! Shannon Gugerty is a great coach and excellent black belt under Dean Lister. Kids program is amazing! My son loves it here! He has gained confidence and his fitness levels are through the roof. Bring your kids in for training!”

“Dropped in during open gym on a Saturday. Dope spot! Tons of parking and easy to find. Easily one the more welcoming gyms to roll at. Everyone was super laid back. It has a family vibe. Everyone is experienced at all levels and felt like every opponent had their own style. Thanks for the drop in Shannon! I’ll be back and send some referrals that way 🤙”

“I've been training with Coach Shannon Gugerty for over 5 years and cannot say enough good things about him. His style of teaching and the types of clients who have stayed with him for years really says a lot about how much he cares about you and your growth, whether it's jiu jitsu or another martial art. He is patient but pushes your limits. I'm always getting challenged at this gym. It also helped me make lasting friends and improved my overall well being. I can't live without jiu jitsu now!”

“Quality training in a great atmosphere! Lots of good training partners at all skill levels. A good gym is like a 2nd family and that's exactly what it's like to train with Shannon and Balu at Rise Above.”
