Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is a Martial Art focused on bringing opponents to the ground and immobilizing them with powerful holds.
Wing Chun, known also as "beautiful springtime", is a traditional Chinese martial art that utilizes highly-tuned reflexes to deliver quick, efficient, and decisive strikes. Developed during the Qing Dynasty, Wing Chun has a long and storied history, but some of its most famous outings have been in modern cinema!
Judo (meaning "gentle way" in Japanese) is one of the most self-defense oriented combat styles available. By mastering one's physical balance and using only the most efficient movements, Judo trains your entire focus into a single goal: to subdue your opponent as safely and quickly as possible.

I have been to 3 classes this week and I like the instructors they are really detailed and are focused on the students. I am completely sore from top to bottom, but I love it they gave me a meal plan that is easy to follow I'm sure I will gain a lot from 28 days all together! New Mexico Jiu-Jitsu Academy provides a very welcoming, professional, and patient community of instructors and fellow students.

I was going to write this review after the introductory 15 minutes I spent with Justin after having my mind BLOWN by a trap and roll, but I figured I should probably finish out the class before I jumped to conclusions.Then I realized I could never write a proper review until I finished out the free 10 day trial (which I made sure to squeeze as many classes into as possible). Once that was up I figured I should at least get my first stripe at 20 classes before I made any assumptions. Next it made complete sense to wait until I got my second stripe and was allowed to spar so my review contained all

My daughter and I have been going here for BJJ for a couple of years now. All of the instructors are incredible and offer unique perspectives. I appreciate so many things about the culture of this place. My kids love coming here, it's very family-friendly. I like the emphasis on self-defense and practical BJJ. Considering that we are routinely trying to choke each other, I think most people would be surprised by the very friendly atmosphere. :) :)

My son has been attending N.M Jiujitsu Academy for about the past 18 months. I have been extremely happy with the quality of the instructors, supportive environment, and responsible approach to teaching these skills, particularly to younger children. The classes provide great exercise, help build important life skills, and will hopefully help my son keep from losing his lunch money in the Albuquerque Public School system. The students are taught to develop strength and confidence while reserving the fighting skills for defending themselves, rather than utilizing these to become a bully aggressor

I’ve been a student at New Mexico Jiujitsu Academy for two years training in Wing Chun Kung Fu. Sifu Justin Hall is an accomplished martial artist and a consummate professional in his instruction. The facility is clean and well maintained in an easily accessed location, and all the staff are friendly and helpful. I was given a free lesson and a trial period, providing an ample amount of time to decide this was the gym I wanted to train at. The kids that I see leaving their class are polite, encouraging to the younger ones, and clearly having fun. NM JJ Academy cultivates a supportive environment

I’ve been training with Justin for several years now. His technical instruction is incredible, and he has a commitment to teaching excellence in Jujitsu. The blue belt combatives curriculum is awesome and I would recommend it to anyone looking to learn bjj and real world self defense, adults or for kids. I’ve also begun training wing chun, and am equally impressed! Highly recommend this school!

I can only provide a very positive review of Justin Hall and his New Mexico Jiu Jitsu Academy! I have been training with Justin for about 3 years now and have found him to be an excellent instructor as well as an accomplished martial artist. He runs his business professionally and with high integrity, serving as an important role model and mentor for kids and adults alike. If you have any interest in learning how to defend yourself, I would strongly recommend that you visit Justin's academy and try a few classes. You won't be disappointed!

The staff is very understanding of the need for work/life balance and does their best to be accommodating. I look forward to every class as one of the highlights of my day. My experience there has undoubtedly been worth the time and money, I only wish I started sooner.

I've been taking Jiu Jitsu classes from Professor Justin Hall for approximately 18 months, and it has been an awesome experience. From day 1, I was treated with respect and have always received excellent instruction. Consideration has always been given based on my work schedule and communication is top notch! There's no surprises here!
I've also had an opportunity to observe Justin and his staff communicate with other students, adult and children alike, and have always thought highly of their engagement and openness. The atmosphere is amazing and a true sense of belonging is always fostered.
