An awesome crew to work out with. An incredible place for kids and adults. My kids have been attending for over a year. They have learned so much and have become a part of an amazing team. Come by and roll with the crew. You won't be disappointed

A great space with great instructors! Head instructor Marcello Daflon is a black belt who has been practicing with ari galo/Carlson Gracie team in Rio de Janeiro for almost 20 years. He has brought his amazing wealth of knowledge and experience to Humboldt. Included on the team are several Hal Faulkner students as well who balance their sport style Jiu jitsu with the Gracie combatives self defense forms. Then there's Hal Faulkner himself, the legend, teaching several Gracie combatives classes and teaming with Josh Cuppett to bring kickboxing to the table... Humboldt Jiu jitsu really has everything

Shout out to Hal Faulkner for the No-Gi lesson! Also want to thank David Kirlin for the Muay Thai mastery! I definitely plan to train here again if I'm ever in the area. They are very professional ! I definitely picked up new training techniques. Kind of pissed I didn't get to train here more. 15 bucks for the drop in class... WORD!!!

The best gym to roll at. Friendly staff and instructors who have the experience and knowledge to help you reach your goals. I started training with Hal Faulkner and have really enjoyed myself. His depth of knowledge of the art is amazing. He has been patient with me as I learn and has a great sense of humor. I am looking forward to training with the other instructors and rounding out my skill set as well. It is really helpful to have not only gi bjj and non gi bjj under one roof but also Muay Thai and wrestling as well where you can take advantage of them. If you are considering bjj then come down

Dropped in while on vacation from Louisiana. What a wonderful group of guys. Great instruction, beautiful facility and competitive rolling. Justin, Rodrigo and Monty could not have been more welcoming and pleasant. I appreciate the hospitality from the instructors and the other students. If I lived here, this would be my gym.

Really wonderful and welcoming people work here. The space is beautiful, high ceilings with skylights, uncluttered and spacious. They offer an array of classes and also offer one on one classes with kind and supportive instructors. Christy helped me match my son with the perfect instructor for the goals we outlined. Monty teaches women's self defense and also gives one on one classes if needed. Such a great resource to have in Arcata!
