Shayan Safar

"Super clean space and amazing vibe!! The instruction is great!! Highly recommend if you’re looking for a jiujitsu gym in the area!!"

Christian Avila

"THERAPY. As someone who has had occasional difficulties in their personal and professional life I often found it challenging to have something to look forward to. This is that place. This is the place you look forward to going to every day. It isn't so much the building, but more so the people that make this place what it is and what it is evolving into. The friendly faces and genuine friendships that illuminate from here are cheerful and positive. Whether you're a business professional or a blue collar worker, a full time mom or a part time podcaster, young, old, short, tall, athletic or a casual couch potato you will find people from all walks of life here. This is a very family oriented and supportive school on and off the mats. When you are here there is no time to think about your problems and frustrations. Students here indulge in the good vibes and atmosphere all while training under a respected world class grappler, Mike Frausto aka Lobes, and his crew of experienced jiu-jitsu practitioners. It's an arduous task to think about your worries when you are fighting off gentle but highly skilled higher belts all while learning, not only a great life skill, but about who you are as a person. Are you the type of person that quits when things get uncomfortable or are you the type of person that strives to overcome obstacles? Come and find out. There's no better place to learn jiu-jitsu in a safe judgement free environment than at New Ground Jiu-jitsu. You get what you put into this sport and even if you find yourself obsessed, like many of us here are, there is always someone there to push you to the next level. I cannot emphasize enough how good this place is for your mind, body and soul. This school is true to their motto: good rolls and good vibes. Let's roll!"

Alex Noble

"This gym is incredible. The coaches, students, and staff, have all helped me reach new heights and become the best version of me. A potential I didn’t know existed. I enjoy being a member here very much and am excited to continue my jiu jitsu journey with NGJJ"

ERIC CARRANZA

"Amazing Jiu Jitsu Academy! First we only had our son join the Little Grounders class, but after a year of watch him develop and enjoy the classes, my wife and I decided to join as well. New Ground offers fun classes, awesome coaching, and life-long relationships all in one place. Come check them out!"
