I first met Sensei Paulo Augusto more than 20 years ago and became his mentor and friend. Besides being an outstanding International competitor his mission was to build a Dojo that was a lighthouse of martial arts that would shine brightly enhancing the lives of his students. He built SDBJJ under the premise to create a safe place that builds confidence, instills discipline and grows self esteem for all students.
The San Diego Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Academy and Mixed Martial Arts in Escondido/San Marcos offers a range of disciplines, with training areas in a clean and spacious 12,000 square foot Escondido/San Marcos Martial Arts studio. We are proud to have the largest and most modern premiere Mixed Martial Arts, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Judo, No-Gi, Boxing and Muay Thai studio in San Diego County, California.
Most training has students wearing a heavy ("Jiu-Jitsu" or "Judo") gi/kimono, on a floor with padded mats. 30 minutes of free sparing training against an opponent of equal skill who attempts to submit you. Most of the training is done with all the students on the mat. For example, training usually begins with both students facing each other from a kneeling position.
Muay Thai is a form of martial arts that is practiced throughout the world, including Thailand and other Southeast Asian countries. The art has a long history in Thailand and is the country's national sport. Traditional Muay Thai uses kicks and punches in a ring with gloves similar to those used in Western Boxing.

Positive: Professionalism
Top of the line. Do yourself a favor look around and see what you get at other schools. Then visit and speak to the people at SDBJJ. The best example is look at classes and the number of classes you get and the caliber of the instruction. Adults and children this is the place to be if you want the best.

My 7 year old son and 9 year old daughter have been going to SDBJJ exactly a year from today. Armin and Averie have shown much growth in all aspects as students in the gym and at home. Paulo, Katia and their staff are professionals and provide the best services to all families. It’s a well rounded gym with many things to offer from Jiu Jitsu/Judo, fitness and boxing. My kids enjoy going there and I couldn’t be any more happier. The sensei’s are great and are so patient with the kids. Both of them have learned so much in the past year in their training and I can’t wait to see what the next

I came to San Diego Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu around four years ago as a way for my two youngest sons to get some exercise, gain social skills, and learn self-defense. San Diego Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu did such a great job that the rest of the family signed up as well. Sensei Paulo, his wife Katia, and all of the staff do an awesome job of creating a facility that is warm and welcoming while at the same time promoting self-defense and fitness.

My family absolutely loves this place. We just moved to this state in July and This is the first time my son has ever express interest in jujitsu and has truly thrived because of his instructors. The owner and his wife are very sincere people. The instructors take their time to ensure that my child accomplishes the moves they have been shown and encourages the kids also. Even the parents at this facility are wonderful. Communication between instructors, kids and parents is wonderful. I couldn’t ask for a better experience!

Have been going here for a few months now with my family and we absolutely love it. They have a family plan too, so for one low price a month my wife, myself and 2 boys come train here. The best part about the membership is you can go everyday if you want. The value is incredible.
The instructors here are really good, especially with my two boys (5 and 3). They're extremely patient and the boys always leave every class feeling very proud about themselves. Our family health (cardio and muscle development) is a fantastic benefit to see from us going. There's a sweet gem for parents too...while my

I tried BJJ severals years ago in another state and suffered a bad injury. I have always wanted to train again, but after my previous experience I was hesitant. 10 years later I have found a home at SDBJJ. Everyone from the coaches to the students are welcoming and want you to be successful. The facility is huge with plenty of space to train and always clean. Sensei Paulo and Sensei Adam make attending class fun while you learn. Sensei Paulo and the upper belts always put an emphasis on safety, which is very important at my age. I highly recommend SDBJJ

The best place for anyone looking to start training or improve their game. Sensei Paulo and Sensei Adam go above and beyond to make everyone feel welcome. Paulo puts an emphasis on his students feeling comfortable and confident, cultivating a great setting for families to come train together. I joined about 3 years ago, and my dad joined shortly after I did, I think we would both agree it was one of the best decisions we've ever made.

THE best place in San Diego to learn Judo and Jiu Jitsu. The amount of years Paulo has been practicing and teaching Judo and Jiu Jitsu since the 70's shows in the vast amount of experience he has. The community that he helps foster and makes everyone feel very welcome here are some of the reasons I continue to stay. The kids classes are well run and both my daughters look forward to coming in and learning. There are also boxing classes and Muay Thai along with functional fitness classes as well. This really is a great place to get in shape, meet new friends and learn a new skill!!!
