I started here after training Jiu Jitsu for 6 years at another school. I had taken two years off from Jitz because of moving and injuries. Coming back to Jitz after two years and at a new school is a serious mind-F. Outlier's laid back culture of friendship and acceptance helped me break through all my mental barriers. I'm going on three years with the team now. It's a great team to train with.

I started my kids here at the recommendation of a coworker. Immediately the coaching staff was welcoming and friendly, it’s not an easy thing to step onto those mats for the first time as a child you are introduced to something that to them, is very unnatural. As a parent you absolutely have to be proud of your child for doing this and though it required being pushed out of their comfort zone they now eagerly await their classes after school. Now they have the confidence they never had socially and are considering competing in tournaments, none of this was parent influenced, my kids are creating

The Coaches are Great at teaching all levels of students! The flow of knowledge is fluid, and its detail oriented. All of the techniques are shown with fundamentals, and how it applies to real world/ sparring scenarios.
I like the individual attention all students get...
Every person counts, and is treated with dignity & respect.
It's an awesome vibe here, and everybody has fun! I really look forward to going to class!

I had the pleasure of meeting Jeremy and Michelle 10 years ago when my son started training Jiu Jitsu. Now I’ve been training there for 4 years and recently achieved my blue belt in Jiu Jitsu. The classes are run professionally, with attention to details and techniques. Outliers is a second home to me and I have built amazing relationships with my teammates. I highly recommend this school to you if you are looking for a great workout, learning a challenging curriculum, building friendships and self defense.

I visited this gym when I was visiting family in Santee. The first and most enjoyable experience was the welcoming family atmosphere. Jeremy welcomed me in with open arms and did not treat me like an outsider. This made it very easy to train at a comfortable and attentive level. Also the attention to detail and coaching was amazing. It was very easy to understand and incorporate. After returning to Kentucky I have used what I learn at Outliers many times at my home gym and its thanks to the great information I was taught. I will be returning to this gym every time I visit San Diego.

Started coming to Outlier’s in October 2018 with my daughter and can't ask for better training. Coach Jeremy, Coach E and Coach Al really know their stuff. Never a lack of motivation in this place and with kettle bells and jeet kun do this place is awesome! One thing I've learned is that jiu jitsu will never quit you! Put in the time and invest in yourself. Give it a shot and join our family! OSS!!!

Great gym, and an awesome instructor. I dropped in to this gym when I was visiting San Diego. I was welcomed by a very friendly group of skilled Jiu Jitsu practitioners. The coach let me drop in to the class, and also invited me to attend any class while visiting San Diego.
Overall a great experience. I’ve been to many jiu jitsu gyms and Outliers BJJ is one of the good ones!

Highly recommend for kids, adults, men, and women of all ages.
Great gym!! Awesome workout, you get out as much as you want to put in. The JiuJitsu is technically sound. The instructors are awesome, have impressive credentials, and teach to all colors of belts, as simple and fundamental as you need to as fancy as you want to get.
What I’m most impressed with is the feeling of family. EVERYONE here is welcoming and respectful and honestly cares about your practice. Nobody is out to injure you or teach you some sort of lesson about rolling with them. It’s a non-toxic environment.

Got stood up at another Jiu-Jitsu gym in Santee that was closer to where we live. (We scheduled an orientation, got it confirmed then the owner never showed because of a conflict).
After that, I decided to check out Outliers that is just a tad bit farther. Getting stood up was a blessing in disguise.
Jeremy and Michelle are wonderful owners and coaches. They really get to know each student on a personal basis and make an effort to be firm but still friendly with their instruction.
If you think you or your kid is going to compete in Jiu-Jitsu, or just want to go for fun, then this is the JJ

My husband started at Outliers a year ago and Jeremy gave me a chance to try it out free. I started with the Saturday women's class with Nic and Vinny and loved it! I'm now going several days a week and this place has become a second home to our family. Our oldest daughter is in the kids class and we're anxious to get our toddler started when she turns 4. Jeremy and Michelle are two of the most caring people with the biggest hearts we've ever had the pleasure of encountering and the entire Outliers team is like family to us. We are definitely lifers.

I've trained at a few gyms in my Jiu-Jitsu career, and this place is amazing. I did a weeks worth of a training here before I decided to become a full-time member. I've been here for almost 3 weeks now, and I love the environment. The head instructor Jeremy is probably one of the coolest, down-to-earth people you will ever meet when it comes to jiu-jitsu and instruction. They offer morning classes M/W/F at 6am - 7am, and not many places offer that training. This gym is very family oriented, which is great for your kids. Give this place a shot, I did and I ended up staying.

Wow, what a workout! I thought it would be a breeze, since I spent the past year kickboxing. Boy was I wrong. The atmosphere is super friendly, and Jeremy is incredibly patient. The other students are super helpful in learning technique as well. If I decide to switch from standup to ground game, this is where I will go.

Outliers has become our second family. Our boys have been training for 2 years and absolutely love it. We originally liked the idea of jiu jitsu for our two boys for few reasons (self defense, respect, etc), but they continue to learn more than we had expected. Jeremy and Michelle (owners) are so welcoming! Jeremy LOVES all of these kids, and pushes them to be their best. He encourages good grades, community service, friendships, family. His coaches Nic, and Vinny are so patient with our kids, and truly love what they do. Thank you Outliers !

We came here about 9 months ago at the recommendation of a friend and felt so welcomed from the moment our family walked through the doors. The head instructor, a black belt, is amazing with the children and is very flexible and reasonable. You can tell that he cares more about the people than money in his pocket. His passion is for jiu jitsu, family, and kids. Everyone at Outliers is so friendly and it is like a huge extended family. They have lots of events to I guess "team-build", like beach parties and sleep overs.
However, our main reason for coming here, though, was not for building

I have been training Jiu Jitsu for about 3 years. I recently moved to Santee and found Outliers Jiu Jitsu, right away it felt like home. I have been looking for a good place to train with a strong female presence. Everyone is so friendly and welcoming, clean facility with great instructors. Oh ya, the kids program here is awesome! Jeremy is an amazing instructor super patient, technical and has so much passion for what he does it really shows on the mat.
