Asheville's Northside Jiu Jitsu

"Jiujitsu has been a journey for our family. Coach Patrick has always had a way of connecting to his students and guiding them to be the best they can be! Whether it’s for fun or to compete. He’s an amazing instructor!"

"Our four year old son started here with Patrick and it has been an excellent experience for all of us. The gym is brand new and has ample space for the 4 - 5 year old group to practice. The class is structured around learning basic technique and having a lot of fun. Patrick has a great deal of tools to work with beginners and the kids listen to him which is not easy work. We are so lucky to have this new studio in North Asheville. I wish them many years of success."

"100% recommend Northside Jiu-Jitsu! My family has worked with Coach Paddy for 5 years now. My kids are essentially growing up under his training. His attention to detail in teaching Jiu-Jitsu makes it fun and understandable. He has also coached all of us in competition and has a winning way about him. We are grateful to be on our martial arts journey under his tutelage and wouldn't want anyone else."

"Paddy at Northside Jiu Jitsu is by far the best instructor I’ve met. The way he can break techniques and concepts down and explain the minor details is extremely helpful and insightful whether you are a day one student or a lifelong practitioner. The class structure is a great environment for getting in fantastic shape as well as becoming a great practitioner. The relaxed and supportive, but also competitive environment that Paddy has created here has attracted a phenomenal community of members that make you want to be the best partner and highest level practitioner you can be. On and off the mats Paddy is a great person, friend, coach, and mentor. His passion for this sport and community shines through his coaching. If you’re thinking about beginning your Jiu Jitsu journey, or looking for a new gym to call your home, look no further and join Northside Jiu Jitsu!"
