North Park Jiu Jitsu Academy

"Training under Professor Mike has been an amazing experience. He’s not only a highly skilled black belt, but also an outstanding teacher who breaks down techniques in a way that’s clear and easy to apply. The environment he creates is welcoming, respectful, and motivating for all levels. What I appreciate most is his genuine care for his students’ progress—on and off the mats. You’ll improve your Jiu-Jitsu, build confidence, and be part of a great community. If you're looking for top-notch instruction and a positive place to train, I highly recommend Professor Mike!"

"Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned grappler, this gym has something for everyone. The environment is super welcoming, the instructors are knowledgeable and technical, and the overall vibe is respectful. Classes are well-structured, and you can tell there’s a strong emphasis on fundamentals, flow, and continuous growth. The gym is clean, the mats are well-maintained, and there’s plenty of parking, which is always a plus. You’re also surrounded by a ton of great restaurants perfect for that much-needed post-training. Grateful for the hospitality and the good energy. Till next time! Thank you Prof. Mike!"

"I started training about a year ago, but I’ve been traveling a lot so it was hard for me to stay consistent. But every time I come back, everyone is always welcoming. The instructors remembered my name from day one, which made me feel really comfortable. Sometimes I struggled with confidence, but the people here always supported me. It’s a great community where everyone wants you to get better. I’ve learned not only jiujitsu techniques but also things that help in daily life, like being more disciplined, focused, and confident. I love North Park JiuJitsu so much, and I even moved to be closer to the gym! Hahaha"
