Michael Pilgrim
"Thanks to Shawn and Ronnie and the team at South Shore for hosting their kids camp again this year. Much love from the Pilgrim family!"
Paul Morgan
"I attended a class at South Shore Jiu Jitsu while visiting San Diego for work. From start to finish, Professors Shawn and Ronnie were exceptionally welcoming, helpful, and engaging. The class was so great. Everyone I trained with was friendly and technical. Got some very helpful feedback along the way. Highly recommend the gym as a place to train. Already looking forward to visiting again when back in town. Update in 2024. Visited again while in town for work, and great experience once more. Professor Ronnie and everyone was very welcoming and helpful. Had such a great time training here. Will definitely be visiting again."
Eliseo Gomez
"My wife, son, and myself have been training here since 2023 and it’s changed our lives completely. Ronnie and Shawn and the entire team are one of a kind people you won’t find anywhere else. Regardless if you’re a beginner or an upper belt, they will mentor you and treat you like one of their own."
Chris Reed
"The absolute best BJJ and Muay Thai gym in IB. These guys raise champions on the mats and in their lives outside of the mats. Highly recommend them to train your little ones into future champions. Laid back positive vibes, everyone is friendly and the facility is spacious, professional and clean."
