Our academy is dedicated to enriching the lives of its members by providing the best Jiu Jitsu experiences possible through a clean, safe, and positive atmosphere. We consistently create an environment where our members feel supported in their jiu jitsu journey, personal growth, and healthy life style balance on and off the mats.

Developing confidence, creating long lasting friendships, a bonded sense of community, and a team first atmosphere through high level Jiu Jitsu training is our commitment to each of our members. Students will be taught the basic principles of jiu jitsu so they not only know the techniques but have a deeper understanding of the methodology.
Services
Students will be taught the basic principles of jiu jitsu so they not only know the techniques but have a deeper understanding of the methodology. Our goal is to facilitate a solid foundation on which we can continue to build on techniques and allow students to grow with fluency, timing and body awareness.
My mission in opening Casper Jiu Jitsu Academy is to provide support, knowledge and confidence to my students on and off the mat. Whatever your goals may be in beginning your Jiu Jitsu journey (weight loss or competition and everything in between) I hope to back you in achieving those goals. Spreading positivity within my community and creating a team environment is of the utmost importance.
It is a website full of over 500 videos that I have made personally to help the young jiu Jitsu practitioners learn faster. Every 2 months we will add more videos. From more advanced guards, to passing the guard, wrestling, and guard pulling with immediate takedowns and of course submissions from everywhere.

So welcoming,
I came in from out of town and wanted to train and Ron made me feel right at home. He's a great coach with exceptional technique, would highly recommend anyone to visit or start training here regularly.

Ron is a really great teacher and human being. He doesn't just teach jiu jitsu; he teaches many different aspects of combat sports (I train with him for boxing). The preceding reviews are absolutely correct - Ron creates a supportive and ego-free learning environment and is genuinely concerned with a student's growth. No meathead nonsense. I look forward to training with him for a long time to come. If you're looking for combat sports training, or for practical self-defense training, please give Ron a try.

Ron is an absolute professional and excellent Instructor. Ron's teaching method is designed to level up your Jiu Jitsu by tying techniques and positions together so that they make sense FASTER. He has a weekly curriculum that enforces learning and knowledge retention. Additionally the gym atmosphere is welcoming and family oriented. If you want an ego less and knucklehead free zone to learn Jiu Jitsu or Striking Casper Jiu Jitsu is the place to be!

Excellent gym in Linda Vista. Facility is well kept and everyone is part of the family. I initially came for Muay Thai and got hooked on BJJ after my first session. The cost is budget friendly and the training is top notch.
Guest trainers are great as well and really add variety to classes. Every trainer is vetted and each regularly practice the discipline they're teaching. They aren't fitness instructors that took a couple of classes, they're experienced practitioners.
I would highly recommend this gym to anyone that wants to learn, train, or compete in BJJ or Muay Thai. Come join the family

This is a great and welcoming place to learn jiu jitsu. I never thought at 43yrs old I'd be addicted to learning this beautiful martial art. But from day one, I was hooked because of the great systematic instruction provided by Ron Casper, a decorated black belt with a passion for passing his knowledge to all. He believes anyone CAN and SHOULD learn jiu jitsu for self defense, especially kids. They also offer muay thai along with personal training if you just want to get in great shape.
I don't leave reviews, but I honestly endorse this place so much that I even created a Yelp account to leave

My wife isn't a fighter, she not even an athlete! She has never done anything like this and somehow I convinced her to take a few private lessons with Ashley. Well to my surprise she really enjoyed her sessions. She said Ashley was very understanding and also very skilled technician who took it very slow w her. She said the comfort level and environment in which Casper jit and Ashley provided was refreshing. Walking into the gym at first she was very intimated bcz the tempo and enthusiasm amongst the other clients and instructors but her fears and anxiety were soon a thing of the past.

Amazing place! Everyone here is so friendly and super welcoming. Very clean too!! I love this gym, Ron is very energetic and nice, yet pushes you to believe in yourself and try your hardest. I love the little detailed attention that Ron corrects that can get lost at bigger gyms. Great place, will keep coming back!

I dropped in for a class at this new gym the other day. The space had been recently remodeled and has a nice cozy feel. The Professor, Ron, and his assistant coach, Ashley, were very welcoming and I felt like I belonged there right away. The other students were also very friendly. Class began with some warmup, and then we drilled a few submission techniques. Ron is an outstanding teacher and he is very detail oriented with every move. He likes to make sure everyone is executing the technique correctly and will spend a moment with any student who is not getting it quite right. Towards the end of

If you are in the market to try Muay Thai and Brazilian Jit Jitsu without all the frills and nonsense, look no further. This is the real deal.

What sets apart this gym from others is the welcoming environment to those that are beginners with no prior experience, people that are trying to reacquainted with the sport, and those that have been training for a while. I have found in my past experiences at other gyms it can be hard for trainers to juggle people at different experience levels, but it is not an issue here.

It can often be intimidating to join this type of gym, but Ron makes you feel

Great facility. Great people. And great professor! Ron and Ashley are the best people. It’s amazing how you can walk into a room as a beginner and feel at home by the end. I started with no idea what I was doing but with everyone’s help, I now have fallen in love with BJJ. I recommend everyone come and bring a friend 🙏🏽

Whether you are brand new to the art or skilled, this is the place to learn excellent technique and grow exponentially. Ron is deeply dedicated to his students and wants everyone to be their best; he notices the small details that will help you improve.

I'm still learning the basics, and am so motivated by this group, and the strength that
