What Our Students Say
Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.
Brian V
"I stopped by for a drop-in while in the area visiting family. My experience here was great. I have many years of on-and-off training, and have trained at a few places over the years. This place had a great vibe, it was small, nice and clean. They were welcoming, the technique was covered well, and the teaching was thorough. It was a great, challenging cross-training session."
Amy Jones
"My neighbors started going and invited us to try. Im so happy that we did. we really feel welcome there and the instructors take time with the kids so that they make sure they are learning ju Jitsu."
David Gottlieb
"Stopped by for an open mat and a Gi class while visiting my father. Everyone was great. Good mix of upper and lower belts. Everyone was very technical and safe. Schedule is easily found online and is accurate. Gym is clean. 10/10. Would go again."
Aaron Sullivan
"I have been training various martial arts at various academies, all around the world, since 1986. I have found Venice Jiu Jitsu to be among the best. I can always tell the level of instruction by how well the newer students perform. That is a sure sign the instructor and senior students can actually teach and that they care about their art. The atmosphere at Venice Jiu Jitsu makes it an easy place for beginners to feel welcome, while also pressing the more seasoned practitioners to advance. If starting a martial art is something you’ve thought about, just try Venice Jiu Jitsu for 3 months to get over the beginner’s jitters. If you stick with it for 3 months, I think you will have found your life changing pursuit."
