chris Alberts
"I highly recommend Iowa city Brazilian jujitsu academy! I started back in November 2024 and wish I would’ve found the art and the Academy sooner in life! Jason is so passionate at what he teaches and puts his heart and everything he does! Everyone is so kind and all the instructors are so knowledgeable and in tune with everything they do and teach. Hands down the best Academy in the area. 10/12 stars!"

"I have been training at ICBJJ for a month and a half, and I highly recommend this gym. 1. Coach Jason uses a scientific training approach that makes it easy for anyone to learn Jiu-Jitsu submissions, takedowns, and more. 2. All the gym members are friendly and considerate during sparring to ensure no one gets injured. Additionally, there are many excellent black belts, allowing you to learn a variety of techniques and styles. 3. The mats, locker rooms, and restrooms are always kept clean."
jacob Brandenburg
"Iowa City BJJ is the gold standard for Jiu-Jitsu training. The owner, Jason prioritizes respect, safety, inclusion, hard work, and hands on learning. Three months of training under him and the rest of the team has been equivalent to six months of training at my previous gym out of state. Jason is a proven BJJ athlete who uses scientific approaches to enhance his coaching. The first class is free so come give it a try! You’ll be among friendly, helpful, passionate and competitive peers who will quickly become your brothers and sisters. Five out of five stars!"
Andrew Garrison
"Great environment, great people and structure going on. Jason is very helpful and prompt when information is needed. Good attitude and vibes in this establishment. I would highly recommend making an appointment and having a look at what’s going on here!"
