Resilience Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Academy

"Awesome gym and group of people. The environment is friendly and competitive. This is a must go to gym if you are considering starting jiu jitsu. I started rolling back in January 2024 and it was one of the best decisions I’ve made."

"If you want to thoroughly understand and rapidly apply the techniques you’re being taught, I highly recommend Resilience. The instructors are very clear, and help break down every move if you need them to. Also the environment is extremely welcoming, focusing on growth for beginners and vets."

"I moved from Michigan only having been to one Jiu Jitsu academy in my life, so I was pretty nervous about which academy I'd join once I moved to Visalia. Josh and his coaches at Resilience were a friendly and welcoming atmosphere for someone who just moved from across the country. Not only that, but the instruction that you receive from Josh is some of, if not, the best. He has taken many, many courses on how adults best learn and it shows in the organization and effectiveness of each class. It's an excellent academy to learn the art of jiu jitsu, and a great place to make friends as well :)"

"Strength & Conditioning at Resilience Jiu-Jitsu Academy This class just works. It meets you where you’re at but pushes you to grow in ways you didn’t expect. Nikki runs a fast-paced, well-structured hour that covers everything: strength, mobility, flexibility, and cardio, without feeling overwhelming. The workouts are smart, well-modeled, and somehow get me to do all the things I usually avoid at the gym. But instead of dreading them, I leave feeling stronger, more balanced, and more capable. What sets this class apart is the thought behind it. Nikki isn’t just throwing together exercises, he’s building a program that makes sense. The training doesn’t just support jiu-jitsu; it improves movement in general. My endurance, control, and overall athleticism have noticeably improved, and I can feel the difference both on and off the mats."
