Old School Brazilian Jiu Jitsu

"So, I’ve been here for quite a while, but I stopped going due to some personal issues. Now, very simple. This place is amazing. It’s a pretty huge adult class, but the best part. Is that even tho there’s a lot of people, the professor pays attention to every single student. You don’t feel like outcast. Whoever is instructing. Makes sure that everyone is learning the techniques. There’s no little group cliques here or there, but compared to places I’ve been at here in Jax. As soon as you walk in, you feel so welcomed. I will be going back again, ASAP."

"Old School BJJ is a hidden gem in Jacksonville. Professor Bill’s technical expertise, patience, and dedication to his students are second to none. He doesn’t just show techniques—he ensures you understand the principles behind them, making your learning deeper and more effective. Whether you’re stepping onto the mats for the first time or refining your skills, this is the gym for you. I can’t recommend it enough!"

"Being female I was looking for a safe place to learn Jiu Jitsu with my friend. When we came we were never made to feel awkward or unwelcome. Instead the owner welcomed us and was very kind. When we were there he gave us a trial period to see if we would enjoy it. They have a very flexible schedule for adults during the weekday there are three times they have classes, which would work for anyone’s schedule. Also classes on Saturday. If you don’t have a gi they will let you borrow one if it fits your size. The price per month is very affordable and you get unlimited jiu jitsu lessons in the month with access to a small gym. I will definitely come back here when not traveling."
