"I LoVe it at Jiyu Bjj! The most down to earth Martial Arts gym in Santa Clarita! The staff is friendly, knowledgeable and patient with everyone, especially with new students. The passion they have for their art really shines through in their daily teachings. They've created a welcoming environment where you always feel like you belong. Unlike other local schools/gyms, there's NO intimidation, NO Drama and NO Cult! The Jiu Jitsu program is an evolving one, its foundation ranges from Classic to Modern Bjj styles. Other available programs include; Boxing, Fitness & Karate. Classes for kids and adults. The kids Jiu Jitsu program is unlike any other, where the kids actually have fun!! The Professors and coaches really have a way with getting through to the kids! Come by and see for yourself! I've been training Jiu Jitsu for the last 16+ years. During that time, I've trained at a couple other gyms and they don't compare in regards to ethics, teachings, cleanliness, environment & respect level. My teammates are seriously the best people! Jiyu is truly an overlooked hidden gem! The Lead Professor, Ron Dinson is as cool as they come. His passion for Jiu Jitsu is contagious and it shines through in his teachings and training! He is encouraging and eager to help you improve your skills. There are also 3 other Black Belts promoted under Prof Ron Dinson who share their wealth of knowledge in traditional and modern styles of Jiu Jitsu. We are seriously fortunate to learn from 4 Black Belts and their decades of experience! The diverse knowledge base and passion for teaching has been beneficial to us all! Along with all the awesome Coaches, they all do really want you to succeed! Positivity radiates the moment you walk into the gym! I definitely recommend you check out Jiyu BJJ for yourself! Go try out some classes for FREE!! You have nothing to lose!!"

"Jiyu is a quality, safe, and welcoming place to train! It was very clean. I came in for an open mat, and Professor Ron provided amazing advice based on his observations. All the students were welcoming and nice as well. Definitely coming back!"

"I dropped in for a class while I was visiting from CT and the class was awesome. Instructor was super friendly, class was comprehensive (standup, takedowns, passing, submissions). Will definitely be back next time I'm in the area!"
