Mark Phillips
"Great location. Cool owners/instructors. I dropped in for a few classes while visiting family down the shore, the Jake and Kyle welcomed me in and even let me borrow a Gi. Highly recommended."
Eva Scheffler
"Down Beach Jiu Jitsu is an outstanding gym with a welcoming and motivating atmosphere. From day one, I felt like part of the team. The instruction is top tier, a mix of brown and black belts, with a wealth of knowledge and experience. The classes are well structured with a perfect balance of warmups, technique, drilling, and live rolling. Whether you’re a beginner or a more advanced practitioner, there’s always something new to learn and improve on. The coaches do a great job of explaining the “why” behind the moves and are always open to questions. The gym itself is clean, professional, and filled with people who genuinely care about each other’s progress. It’s a place where hard training and good vibes go hand in hand. If you’re looking for a place to train jiu jitsu at the shore, Down Beach Jiu Jitsu is the real deal. Highly recommended!"
