Safety Harbor Jiu-Jitsu

“Great group of guys, great instruction, great environment. Previously had no grappling experience and Muchacho took me right in and made me feel part of the group. Great gym culture; you can train as hard as you want, but respecting others while rolling is mandatory. Everyone is very open and accommodating to different skill levels. People are more than willing to trade notes and give advice when its asked for. I can tell you personally, not every gym is like this; some places have lots of big egos and confrontational personalities, not here though. If you're looking to get into BJJ or you just want to bring up your fitness, this a great place to do it.”

“I wouldn’t want to train anywhere else for many reasons. Here are some of them: The instructors and other members are some of the nicest people you'll ever meet, always eager to help you learn. They run an Essentials class (for beginners) where you essentially get one-on-one attention to master basic / advanced tactics. Also, multiple advanced classes every day. The classes are spread out throughout the day, making it easy to fit into any schedule, and the place is spotless. Finally, it's in Safety Harbor, which is one of the coolest areas in the Tampa/St. Pete area.”

“I take my kid here. They are the best by far. Two sensei coaches work with the kids all of the time! Sensei James and sensei Sansa, great coaches. It is run by Muchacho who is a legend! Other places are like 10 kids on their own and one student "coach". Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday for a very decent monthly fee. No one beats the Safety Harbor BJJ dojo! BEST BY FAR”

“If you are thinking of getting into BJJ, do it!! SHJJ is the most welcoming place for people at all levels. Muchacho and all the other coaches exemplify expertise, patience, and genuine care for every student. Such a great community of people! No matter your experience level, you will absolutely feel welcomed and at home here. My son and I absolutely love training here! My only regret is not starting training earlier in life!”

“Been training for 12 years now. Have been to and trained at many different schools and Muchacho is one of, if not the best instructors I’ve ever experienced. The details in the techniques he teaches is amazing. 3 years ago my girlfriend and I moved here from California and felt extremely welcomed immediately. Training partners here at Safety Harbor Jiu Jitsu now are some of our best friends. You can’t beat the training and atmosphere here at Safety Harbor Jiu Jitsu!”
