students trained!
I was in the area for a short while and trained at the academy during my stay. The instruction was outstanding, I enjoyed positional rolls to improve specific skills, and the overall atmosphere was great with friendly training partners and professors!

I came to Jiyu for their women’s self defense class and had a great time! I don’t consider myself a very strong person so I was worried this would be a challenge for me. The coaches and professors were all so helpful and I was surprised with how much I was able to accomplish after just one class. I’m looking forward to taking another class and bringing some friends!

The Professors and coaches really have a way with getting through to the kids! Come by and see for yourself! I’ve been training Jiu Jitsu for the last 16+ years. During that time, I’ve trained at a couple other gyms and they don’t compare in regards to ethics, teachings, cleanliness, environment & respect level. My teammates are seriously the best people! Jiyu is truly an overlooked hidden gem! The Lead Professor, Ron Dinson is as cool as they come. His passion for Jiu Jitsu is contagious and it shines through in his teachings and training! He is encouraging and eager to help you improve your skills. There are also 3 other Black Belts promoted under Prof Ron Dinson who share their wealth of knowledge in traditional and modern styles of Jiu Jitsu. We are seriously fortunate to learn from 4 Black Belts and their decades of experience! The diverse knowledge base and passion for teaching has been beneficial to us all! Along with all the awesome Coaches, they all do really want you to succeed! Positivity radiates the moment you walk into the gym! I definitely recommend you check out Jiyu BJJ for yourself!
