Jacksonville Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Academy/Jax BJJ

"I am the grandmother of some children that come to this gym. It is without a doubt, the best environment imaginable. The adults promote inclusion, respect for each other, a welcoming atmosphere, and with each class, the kids end up with confidence! Many times kids come to this gym as a result of being bullied, and after time, the kids gain the confidence to know they can take care of themselves, but are taught not to “bully” back. I can’t brag enough about the differences I have personally witnessed in my grandchildren, as a result of the teaching at this gym. If you are searching for something to get your child involved in, I highly recommend this gym. Give them a try, you will be glad you did! Joan Young Happy grandmother"

"The best thing I did as a father is walk in Jax BJJ. My kids and I have trained here for several years. I’ve watched kids grow up in this gym and become better people because of there experiences here. I’ve never met someone with the patience with kids like Professor Nelson. I’ve never seen him loose his cool ever. Always calm and focused. Professors Nelson has a passion for grappling and teaching grappling. If I could give this review 10 stars I would. They defiantly rate it."

"Professor Nelson is my favorite jiu-jitsu instructor. They have a great family day on Saturday and cost is an expensive. All of the people that train there are very nice and helpful. This is definitely a great gym for beginners because everyone is so patient and helpful"

"Jax BJJ is a fantastic place for families! The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, and coach Nelson is amazing with kids. My child feels safe and excited to learn here, and we’ve noticed a big boost in confidence and discipline. The community is incredibly supportive. Highly recommend this studio for anyone looking for a positive, family-friendly environment!"
