John Shields
"Great instructors, welcoming group of people, fantastic gym. This is my first time training BJJ and I'm so glad that I came to Six Blades PB. I was a little shocked by how supportive the group at the gym is. Didn't really know what to expect. Everyone is friendly, takes time to get to know you and will happily explain things. The instructors are so knowledgeable, but also really understand how to coach clearly. They make classes easy to follow. The classes are for all levels of experience and there are a variety of different times that work for all schedules. Also gi, nogi, judo, wrestling etc. The gym is extremely clean, prices are very fair and overall, I cannot imagine a better experience. Feel like I have a solid community and a home here. If you're thinking of trying BJJ or looking for a new gym, highly recommend."

"Six Blades Pacific Beach is a great martial arts school. The head instructor is very skillful, kind, and has years of experience teaching and training. He is very personable, the dojo is clean, and the students are friendly, welcoming, and helpful. My son trained in three classes while we were on vacation and learned a ton. I personally have trained in martial arts for 50 years, and I know skill when I see it. I am also a retired Physical Education teacher 33 years teaching, and my opinion is Professor Gustavo is an amazing teacher! I am a retired public-school teacher and now I actually own a karate school in WA state and if we lived n San Diego, I would have my son training here. This is the place, check them out. This is a Great School!!!!"

"6 Blades Jujistu I was on vacation with my mom for a week and was walking looking at stores. My mom and I came across Professor Gustavo and his school and were both welcomed with open arms. We paid for the visitors pass, which allowed me to join classes throughout the day, and gave me a uniform to use while training both times (I came to two classes that day) both of which were very clean. He is a great instructor! He’s very knowledgeable and incredibly kind as well as all of his students. I have done martial arts since I was 4 1/2 (I am now 20). I have met many people, many different instructors, and I can say he is incredibly skilled. If I lived in San Diego I would train with him full time. His students were also skilled and welcomed me as well, giving me tips, and helping me along the way. I enjoyed it so much I came back for a third time right before I left to catch my plane to go home. If there’s anyone who is interested in martial arts or worried about starting their journey for whatever reason, I highly recommend Professor Gustavo and his school. You will be welcomed and feel right at home while receiving high quality instruction."

"My daughters started at Six Blades when they were 4 and 3, with no martial arts experience. Professors Gustavo and Maggie immediately made them feel welcome and excited to try new things. Each leader’s patience level is incredible, I have learned so much about interacting with children by watching them. Also, having three daughters, I appreciate how there are male and female instructors, each with their own strengths and relationship with the kids. Couldn’t recommend Six Blades more…has changed my family for the better."
