Tim Hammerich
"My seven year old started training at WIBJJ nine months ago, and he has been having so much fun that I recently joined as well. Highly recommend for both kids and adults."
Carley Hawker
"I don't normally write reviews. But West Idaho BJJ definitely is deserving of a five-star review! They have their priorities in the right place. This is a very family-friendly gym. I really appreciate where they put their values. They are laid back about certain things that don't matter, like everybody having to purchase the same uniform. But when it comes to respect for each other and the instructors they have clear, firm boundaries. My children had been learning a lot. Nick and the other teachers have been fabulous with my four kids. It is an orderly gym without the staunchy feel. They are also very transparent about the finances, and in my opinion you get a lot of bang for your buck. I recommend this gym to anyone looking to learn BJJ well and have a good experience in the process."
Sarah Powell
"My oldest son has been going to West Idaho Brazillian Jiu Jitsu for a little over two years, starting when he was four years old. In that time, I have seen his confidence increase, he's making friends, burning energy, learning self discipline and accountability while learning to take direction from his coaches. I highly recommend this gym for adults and kids. Coach Nick and all assistant coaches are amazing. There are so many reasons we make the arduous 35 minute journey one way at least 4 days a week. YOU ALL ARE ROCKSTARS!"
Denise Ferrari
"West Idaho BJJ offers top notch instruction and filled with amazing people! My two daughters (10 & 8) have been training there for the last 3 1/2 years and have thrived. Their jiu-jitsu game has gotten 10x better and they are consistently competing. WIBJJ has prepared them for every tournament without a doubt. My husband and I also train there, an no matter your level they are very welcoming and encouraging. I have been to other academies and you definitely don't feel welcomed immediately, the way we did at WIBJJ. The owners are great people & truly care about your growth, on all levels. Highly recommend!"
