I would like to share my positive experience at South Valley BJJ, particularly within the morning class that I regularly attend. As someone with zero grappling experience at the beginning, I was made to feel welcomed and supported by the instructors, who have been highly knowledgeable and helpful throughout my journey. The facility itself is clean and well-maintained, reflecting the pride that every member takes in creating a safe and enjoyable environment for training and learning. My interactions with fellow students have been incredibly rewarding, and I have met many like-minded individuals. I would highly recommend South Valley BJJ to anyone new to the sport or seeking to train with a great community. The facility's atmosphere and the kindness of its members have made my experience truly exceptional, and I look forward to continuing my training here.

Great facility, great training, and a phenomenal culture. There's nothing better than training with a group of people who feel like family. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for high-level Jiu-Jitsu and new friendships.

My husband and I love bringing our daughter to South Valley Jiu Jitsu and more importantly she loves training there. The instructors and kids are incredibly kind and welcoming. My daughter is on the younger side of the kids class but the coaches and other students have always had so much patience with her. Coach Mike goes above and beyond to make sure his students are successful both in jiu jitsu and in the classroom. We would not go anywhere else.

I have been training at South Valley Brazilian Jiu Jitsu for 2 years. It is a phenomenal place to train and is one of the best things I have done for myself. They have classes Monday through Saturday with times that fit almost any schedule. Having access to the morning class at 5am has made it easy to train while not taking time away from work or family. The facility is always clean and the people are welcoming!

My sons and I have been going for several years now. The people in the gym have become like family. The kids class has been exceptional. Especially for my oldest son. They hold them not just accountable on the mat but in life and school. It’s been great to have Mike and the coaches partner with me and help keep my boys accountable.
