Review from John Doe

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!

The place is amazing with teachers that will help you every step of the way, one of them is Ron and he’s an awesome teacher and person, the students are great and very friendly, at the end of the hour they (Students) will ask you to roll with them, so you’re getting 1 hour and then 30 minute or more, extra to roll with someone. I’m highly recommend.

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!

I LoVe it at Jiyu Bjj! The most down to earth Martial Arts gym in Santa Clarita! The staff is friendly, knowledgeable and patient with everyone, especially with new students. The passion they have for their art really shines through in their daily teachings. They’ve created a welcoming environment where you always feel like you belong. Unlike other local schools/gyms, there’s NO intimidation, NO Drama and NO Cult! The Jiu Jitsu program is an evolving one, its foundation ranges from Classic to Modern Bjj styles. Other available programs include; Boxing, Fitness & Karate. Classes for kids and adults. The kids Jiu Jitsu program is unlike any other, where the kids actually have fun!! 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! Go try out some classes for FREE!! You have nothing to lose!!
