"Strategic BJJ is an amazing place to learn jiu jitsu!! Keith and Natalie run the programs and are super amazing and inclusive. I actually live in Edwardsville and drive 25 mins to learn from them ☺️"
Alexxys Rodriguez
"My son started Youth Jiu jitsu at Strategic BJJ - Alton around 6 months ago. He started with 1 night a week but enjoyed it so much he attends 2 nights of youth training and is able to participate in the adult class one night as well. He decided last minute to do an upcoming tournament and his coaches and team were more than supportive! The communication throughout signing up, weighing in, days leading up to the event, and during the event was outstanding. I didn't feel nervous or confused at all and am so thankful for Natalie and Keith for guiding my son to take 1st place in his first tournament! Hoping to see his team grow and he continues to be surrounded by such great people!"

"I attend the morning kickboxing classes here and love it. The trainer, Josh, is knowledgeable, supportive, and makes the class fun, all of which is important since I’m a complete newbie. The gym itself is clean, well-lit, and the equipment is in good shape. Definitely recommend for anyone looking to start kickboxing classes or get support for their fitness goals with a group of awesome, like-minded people."

"Strategic BJJ in all 3 locations is a fantastic place for kids and families! My daughter has been attending the Youth Jiu Jitsu classes, and the improvement in her confidence and skills has been incredible. The coaches are patient, knowledgeable, and truly care about the kids’ progress—not just in Jiu Jitsu but in their overall personal growth. I love that the gym fosters a welcoming and supportive community, making it a great space for both beginners and those with experience. My daughter looks forward to every class, and it’s been amazing to watch her grow stronger, both physically and mentally. If you’re looking for quality Jiu Jitsu, self-defense, or kids’ classes, I highly recommend checking out Strategic BJJ. It’s more than just a gym—it’s a place where kids build confidence, discipline, and friendships!"
