What Our Students Say
Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.
Kevin Domingo
"As a blue belt who has trained at most of the gyms in the Reno/Sparks area, I can confidently say that Black Diamond offers some of the best—if not the best—instruction, coaching, and attention to detail. The coaches take the time to work with you individually, making it a great environment for both hobbyists and those looking to compete. While it’s not as rigidly traditional as some other gyms, it still respects that aspect. Plus, it has the largest mat space I’ve seen so far, and Ryan keeps it clean and staph free."
Joe Villegas
"As the saying goes, "Iron sharpens Iron", and the team at Black Diamond are an amazing bunch of highly skilled jiu-jitsu practitioners of all skill levels and belt ranks. I am very thankful to be a part of this team and train with such solid people whom I have grown to call my friends. Coach John 'Magoo' Villarruel and Coach Ryan Jennerjohn do a great job at fostering a family like environment. The school is always kept clean and the mat space is incredible! I highly recommend dropping in and checking the team out."
Luis Martinez
"If you're looking for a friendly, fun, and family feeling environment, Black Diamond Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is the place to be, if you want to learn BJJ for personal reasons like Self-Defense, Sport Competitions, and/or exercise for getting in and/or back into shape, come and visit BDBJJ, they have a handful folks there that can give you advice to live a healthier better lifestyle."
Michael Mirakian
