When Ben and I started this gym, it was important to us to have a concise mission statement to live and run our business by. We've always come back to "Good People, Good Jiu Jitsu". While it's of utmost importance to us that our jiu iitsu is intentional, profound and effective. Wear whatever uniform you want to train in.
We provide uniforms, but we do not extort our students by requiring that they buy a whole new training kit just because they've switched schools, or force them to choose our brand instead of the one they might prefer. You are you. We respect that and encourage that. It is the diversity and unique strengths of the individual that gives our community its strength, creativity, durability, and excellence.

Services
Private and semi-private lessons are a great way to accelerate your learning, gain insight and break through plateaus. Students are encouraged to define a goal or problem, explore new skills, tactics and strategies, or incorporate the more ineffable aspects of Jiu Jitsu into their game. Each 60-minute private or semi-private lesson is $100 and will be charged upon reservation.
All visitors and new members are highly encouraged to participate in our free 30-minute orientation class. In this class you will tour the gym, learn some basic Jiu Jitsu terminology and moves, and have the opportunity to ask lots of questions. If the orientation class does not fit your schedule, or if you've done a bit of Jiu Jitsu before, you are welcome to start with another beginner level class.
The purpose of this course is to teach students the essential elements required for striking in MMA or self defense. In this we will still take a Street. Sport. Art perspective. The course material is centered around the punches (or palm strikes), kicks, elbows and knees, blocking and evading as well as footwork, clinch, and managing distance.
Our older students follow a tailored curriculum, based on Impact's current Blue Belt Curriculum for adults. The curriculum was designed at Impact by Impact and supports preparation for Blue Belt eligibility at age 16 and requires significant knowledge of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. This program supports basic and advanced BJJ techniques and offers tournament preparation.

My wife and I were moving from SoCal to ABQ and I needed to find a new place to train. After searching around the land of Yelp, Impact Jiu Jitsu ABQ was definitely the place I wanted to try out. Benjamin made me feel a sense of welcome before I even started my first day. He called me to answer my questions and make sure I was set up for success from the get-go. Impact Jiu Jitsu ABQ is where I find incredible instruction, a sense of family and community, and incredibly humble people who make training exciting and fun.
Amazing coaches, clean facilities, incredible training partners, great curriculum

Impact is the best Jiu Jitsu gym in Albuquerque. I appreciate that they take the health and safety of their employees and members seriously during these stressful times. Their facility is clean and modern and provides the best instruction in town. It is the only place I would trust to instruct my children and myself. If you're looking for an amazing Jiu Jitsu family to join, then this where you need to come!!

I can't say enough great things about Impact. The quality of instruction is fantastic, with a combination of excellence in technique and coaching in a supportive, fun, and challenging manner. For kids and adults, the classes offered are top notch and a supportive, friendly community. Ben and Kaethe, and all instructors at Impact truly are good people doing excellent jiu jitsu, right here in ABQ!

I've been at Impact ABQ for the last two months now and I must say this place is amazing! I have been training in jiu jitsu for 4.5 years now and since I've been here, my game has improved to a much tighter and higher level of jiu jitsu. The coaches Ben, Jeff and David are all very good, dedicated coaches and you can tell that it's more than a hobby for them, it's a lifestyle. The business is welcoming to all newcomers and has a very friendly atmosphere, it's really a second family for me. Impact shares the same philosphy as I do, which is to push yourself and train hard
