What Our Students Say
Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.
Lizbeth Bautista
"I have been training at House of Salt for about two and a half years now. I initially trained for about three months at the end of 2021. At the time, I was one of few girls at the school. The existing girls were so welcoming and helpful. When I came back to the school in 2023, the atmosphere was still the same and I felt right back at home. Everyone at HOS is so welcoming and supportive. Sara and Jesus truly have built an amazing community within the school. So happy to see so many more women joining the gym as well."
Emmanuel Sanchez
"I have been training at House of Salt for more than 3 years now and I couldn’t have picked a better place to learn a martial art. Jesus and Sara provide top notch instruction, with a strong focus on technique and progression. They genuinely care about their students and foster a positive environment. The community is incredibly welcoming and supportive, making it easy to feel at home whether you’re a beginner or an experienced practitioner. House of Salt is the best place on the shore to train BJJ, cannot recommend this place enough!"
Ramzey Prentiss
"I had the opportunity to train here during a work trip, and it was fantastic. I attended both No Gi and Gi jiu jitsu classes, both of which were amazing. Jesus, the instructor, was exceptional—providing plenty of details and valuable tips. The facility was impeccably clean, including the mats, bathrooms, and changing rooms. Jesus and Sarah were incredibly welcoming, and the schedule offered a ton of classes to fit my schedule. The gym's culture was top-notch; I had great experiences rolling with everyone. I highly recommend this gym for training, especially for locals—it's a no-brainer. Thank you for the wonderful experience and solid rolls!"
Christina
"When I first entered House of Salt, I had no martial arts experience and was really just looking for a fun way to stay active (because I don’t like going to the gym) and to make new friends since I had recently moved to the area. I’ve been training for about 2 years now and can say that walking into HOS was the best decision I could’ve made. I love the mental and physical challenge that comes with practicing jiu-jitsu. But more than that, HOS is a very special place…the community is warm and welcoming, and the coaches are phenomenal. Highly recommend!!"
