I was staying in town right near this gym for a work trip, it was an excellent place to continue training while I was away. The staff is incredibly nice, the training is top notch and the facility and equipment are excellent. Highly recommend!

I trained BJJ at whaling city for three years. The program is incredibly useful to those seeking to combine stand up wrestling and jiu jitsu on the ground. Many schools teach takedowns as an afterthought, but at whaling city the program teaches you how to grapple in any situation, standing or on the ground, and how to transition between them. The top tier instruction is a gold standard for those seeking to improve their BJJ, and I can't recommend it enough!

From the phone call to learn about the gym, to the front desk to the coach, this place is welcoming and professional. I was in town for business and dropped by to train and am glad I did! Wish I had more time to train there. Five stars!
