"North Coast Jiu Jitsu is an amazing gym. Family friendly and welcoming to all, any level of training, any background. They welcomed our family with open arms and only trained with positive energy and a smile on their face. They push the adult class and the kids class is awesome too. They train with great technical expertise and grace. Our whole family went to North Coast and have not regretted it.
