Signed up my son years ago and was very successful in tournaments. Signed up myself a couple of years later and have not regretted one moment. I still look forward showing up to class and sparing. If you are looking for a place to distress and learn BJJ this is a good place to start.

My First & Only Jiu-Jitsu Gym – And I Wouldn’t Have It Any Other Way! As someone brand new to Jiu-Jitsu, I was nervous stepping onto the mats for the first time—but Selva Brasilian Jiu Jitsu and Mixed Martial Arts instantly made me feel at home. From the very first class, the atmosphere was so welcoming that my nerves melted away. There’s zero ego here, just a shared passion for learning and growth. I may not have other gyms to compare it to, but I truly can’t imagine a better place to train. What stands out most is the unmatched camaraderie. The moment I walked in, the more experienced members treated me like part of the team, not "the newbie." Whether we’re drilling techniques or rolling, partners are patient, encouraging, and always willing to help. There’s no pressure—just a collective drive to improve together. The coaching is incredible—especially coaches Monique and Jason. They have a gift for breaking down techniques in a way that’s easy to understand, even for someone like me who started with zero experience. Every class is structured so that no one gets left behind, and I’m constantly amazed at how much I’ve learned in such a short time. The facility itself is always clean, with plenty of space to train safely. The mats are well-maintained, and the gym has a professional yet laid-back vibe. I love that they offer both Gi and No-Gi, giving me a chance to explore different aspects of Jiu-Jitsu. But what really makes this gym special is the community. Whether it’s the post-class conversations, the open mat sessions, or the occasional group events, it’s clear that everyone here genuinely cares about each other. I came for the Jiu-Jitsu, but I stayed for the people. If you’re looking for a gym where you’ll feel supported, challenged, and valued—no matter your skill level—this is it. I may not have tried other places, but why would I need to? This gym feels like family.

Loving my privates with Coach Mo. She not only pays special attention to detail which I need but very positive. Love that she’s able to work with my crazy work schedule too. I would highly recommend anyone that wants to add/improve their bjj game.

I came into this gym just looking to get into shape and find another hobby. Now I’m staying because the team here is like family. All the grown adults think of our coaches as their parents because they’re not only there to make you better at jiu Jitsu but also a better person. I’m thankful to have found this gym and I’m now a member for life and I have found friends for life.
