Although my experience was short lived due to moving for work, I made great connections with the instructors and other members. Great atmosphere, comfortable environment, and great people. Would recommend to anyone of any skill level. Wish you all the best!

As a total novice just starting out any combat sport can be intimidating. Strange clothes (the juijitsu gi) strange positions your body is in and learning how to do various submissions to beat your opponent. Kyle, Paul, PJ and the other instructors are fun to work with and make a concerted effort to remove the intimidation factor from it. Additionally they will tie the lessons into practical defensive usages. They allow you to move at your own pace to achieve an understanding of the lessons being taught that day. The rest of the club members are friendly and willing to work with each other be it

Wanna learn how to choke someone out in under 9 seconds?
Good. I have your attention.
Tired of being bear hugged by bigger people?
Want to learn basic bear hug defense that’ll have your attacker regretting their decision?
This is the place.
North Coast Jiu-Jitsu Club is the Jiu-Jitsu academy that all other academies strive to be.
After a few mere classes, you’ll be so comfortable from the ground, that chairs will become meaningless.
You’ll learn armbars, chokes, escapes, submissions, and even these weird things called “shrimps.”
Join this gym, you won’t regret it.

I've been training here nearly a year now. Kyle is a great instructor and jiu jitsu practitioner. He breaks down technique to a very understandable level and his knowledge of the art runs deep. The North Coast jiu jitsu vibe is really relaxed and friendly. Definitely recommend. A hidden gem.

An excellent place to train! The atmosphere is friendly, great for learning. The instructors are top notch. Kyle guides the students through Jiu Jitsu for competition as well as practical self defense. The instruction is detailed and easy to follow. I highly recommend NCJJ!

If you are looking for Jiu-Jitsu academy to learn and grow North Coast Jiu-Jitsu Club is it! Kyle is a great instructor and everyone's really friendly.
Very flexible schedule: you can choose morning or evening classes, or both. Classes are offered every day with additional hour of open mat after each class, so you will have plenty of opportunities to roll, drill, or ask questions.
Consistent curriculum with great instructional videos, so that if you miss a class or just want to refresh your memory you can look it up online.
Awesome BJJ academy!

I attended my first Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu class this morning at North Coast Jiu-Jitsu Club. The class was beginner friendly and focused on realistic self defense techniques. Kyle provided great instruction and a welcoming environment to individuals new to Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. So much so, that my wife plans to attend North Coast's Women's Self-Defense class on Sunday, February 24. I am already looking forward to my next class!

Amazing gym for BJJ. Highly-educated instructors offer top-quality classes. Not only are the classes practical and informative, but they are fun, too. Far too often are martial arts gyms dominated by individuals that make the sport torturous; this gym has a great group of people that make one's experience worthwhile. Perfect for beginners, practitioners, and experts.

Quality instructors and a very clean facility! Great place to learn the fundamentals of Brazilian Jiu jitsu; the atmosphere is very laid back and friendly. My little brother loves the kids class, and I like the adult class + yoga class. The competition is great, and it is the overall best bjj club I’ve ever been to!

Great Jiu Jitsu School. Being one of the first members to join I’ve seen the place grow over the last year. And it’s because of how well run the school is. It’s very welcoming to the new student. Great instructors and a great learning format to build on your skill every class you attend. If you have ever thought of trying Jiu Jitsu i encourage you to try this school out. You won’t be disappointed.
