My son has been training for two years now at the Jiu Jitsu Institute. We also trained during the same affiliation in Hawaii with art of Jiu Jitsu. They are great with the kids. They teach them discipline self-defense, and how to protect themselves and others. Many of the parents and professors have become like family. 100% you or your kids should join if you’re in Wilmington, North Carolina.

My daughter and I started training here over a year ago. Can’t express how much I love it. It’s been great for my daughter, training with a great group of kids and friends. Training and instruction are top notch. The schedule fits really well with ours, able to attend 4-7 classes a week if I’m up for it. Great group of instructors, tons of great info for all those white belt questions. Great training partners as well.

I’ve been training at The Jiu Jitsu Institute for about a year, and it’s been an incredible experience. The instructors are not only highly skilled but also very supportive and encouraging. The atmosphere at the school is welcoming and friendly, making it a great environment for both beginners and advanced practitioners. I’ve learned so much and look forward to every class. Highly recommend!

A couple of friends invited me to come try out jiu jitsu here a couple of weeks ago and coming here has been one of the best decisions I’ve made. The owner, Gil, is awesome and super knowledgeable. The vibe here is top notch, with everyone looking to not only get better themselves, but also bring up those around them. This has quickly become my favorite form of exercise. If you are on the fence about giving it a try, just do it! You will not regret it!

I came here as a purple belt to help sharpen my game. This gym has a great competitive but friendly environment. There are plenty of experienced players to learn from and Gil provides excellent guidance for taking your skills to the next level.
