South Tahoe Jiu Jitsu

“South Lake Tahoe Jiu-Jitsu is an excellent gym located on the second floor of a barbell gym. The space is well-suited for quality training and great rolls. The community is welcoming, and the atmosphere is top-notch. Chris, the owner and instructor, fosters a fantastic culture. As a black belt, he is not only highly knowledgeable but also inviting and friendly, making everyone feel at home. Since the snow conditions at Heavenly weren’t great, my son and I decided to drop in for open mat. We had several six-minute rounds, and every practitioner there was technical, skilled, and respectful. Whether you’re new to jiu-jitsu or a seasoned practitioner, this is the place to train in Lake Tahoe. Highly recommend!”

“Dropped in for a class while in town and had a great experience. Very cool situational rolls right off the bat followed by some tough live rounds. Really enjoyed the instruction and welcoming vibe. Very appreciative they made it so easy to let me come and train, truly a standout academy!”

“I dropped in for a class while traveling and had a great experience. The instruction was legit as were the black belt and students. I learned a few improvements on the kimura submission and would recommend South Tahoe for anybody wanting to learn good and practical jiu jitsu.”

“Quick work trip in Tahoe and decided to stop by the gym. Chris runs a great class. Had a really good time and great training session. Everyone was very nice and welcoming. Highly recommend!”

“Thank you for the hospitality! Amazing gym with great instruction and atmosphere. Professor Chris is incredibly welcoming, knowledgeable and tough. I dropped in from out of town for a leg lock class and open mat while visiting South Lake Tahoe and they treated me like one of their own. I will definitely be back.”
