The Jiu Jitsu institute is an amazing place to train. Gil is an incredibly talented instructor/professor, with an attention to detail that is second to none. He runs a very clean and safe school for everyone at all levels to learn, progress, and enjoy! If you are looking for a school in the WIlmington area definitely stop by and check out The JJI! Your only regret will be that you didn’t start sooner.

Very professional and well organized school, headed by a top notch professor and coaches who teach under him. All of whom are extremely knowledgeable to say the least. A strong camaraderie exists amongst the students at JJI and the school has a great reputation. 🤙

You can learn BJJ at a lot of places. Not a lot of places though make you feel like family like this one does. No egos, just great instructions and camaraderie. The students can be a great representation of the atmosphere of a gym and the students here are top notch. The Professor here likes to have a good time but takes teaching & training serious, which is a great combination for me. Highly recommend for anyone looking to better themselves. Just don’t puke on the matt.

I walked into the Jiu Jitsu Institute knowing almost nothing about Jiu Jitsu but I immediately felt right at home. Gil and everyone else there was eager to help me start learning and I've loved it from the beginning. All ages and experience levels are welcomed. I highly recommend the JJI!

JJI is a great place to train, both for people that have tried Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, and also for veterans of the art/sport. There's a great mix of students at this clean, professional facility. Gil (the owner) is an experienced instructor that has traveled the country for years to improve his own abilities as a practitioner of the art and also as an instructor. His classes are easy to follow, they follow a progression, and there are gems in every class for new students and senior students. There's also plenty of time for sparring, and the environment is open, welcome, and fun, while also providing
