Soma Jiu-Jitsu Academy of Idaho Falls

“Growing up, I had always wanted to learn self-defense, and I finally got the chance when my boyfriend took me to Soma on our first date. And wow, this place is LEGIT!! The instructors are knowledgeable, the students are inclusive, and the environment is clean - literally everything you could ask for in a martial arts studio. I’m incredibly grateful to Coaches Jared and James for coaching me for nearly 2 years into one of my now all time favorite passions.”

“All the coaches, at every level, are outstanding. Coach Jared and Coach James do a great job of making everyone feel welcome, and their lineage is world class. The youth classes are great, kids are taught respect and discipline, while learning a skill that will transform their lives. I cannot recommend SOMA enough. The only thing you will regret is not starting sooner.”

“My whole family has been training with the Emfield’s for almost 8 years now. I have had opportunity to move for work but decided that I’m staying in east idaho because of their world class instruction. SOMA BJJ is an amazing association in general, and Jared is an exceptional coach.”

“When you attend Soma Jiu Jitsu academy not only will you have access to top notch Jiu Jitsu, focused self defense, you will gain a Jiu Jitsu family. Jared and James Emfield are not only excellent instructors they are even better people. Not only will you find a welcoming learning environment, you will gain life long friends.”

“I’ve been to train at other gyms and it has brought me to a great amount of appreciation for the culture at Soma. High standards of ethical and moral conduct are upheld and I feel safe training at Soma and have great trust in Coaches Jared and James, who I am also grateful to have as my children’s coaches and trainers! Both my wife and I have been training for 3 years and we truly believe we could not have found a better Academy to train at, especially in little Idaho Falls.”
