I was visiting Tampa (from Detroit) for a week, and I wanted somewhere to drop in. I contacted a few gyms, but TJJ was the most responsive. Also, they did not charge me a drop-in fee. There were 8-12 regulars there when I visited, and all but two or three were blue belts or higher. One purple belt actively worked with me the whole time during drilling, and both he and the black belt in attendance rolled with me. Really great experience, and highly recommended!

Highly recommend this Jiu Jitsu clinic. There are several instructors in the room at all times who go out of their way to ensure you reach your full potential. (Even the other students will help you during class and sparring.) Ryan (trained by the Gracies) and his staff cultivate a learning environment allowing students to focus on either self-defense or competition BJJ. Thanks Ryan, Rick, Jason, Race for all your hard work!

Great gym for any level. I, a four months white belt, came here as a visitor, told Ryan before hand that I was just a tourist and only be here for a day but everyone in the gym was very welcoming and respectful. A higher belt even offered to show me some basic techniques at the end of the open mat. I highly recommend this gym!

Great place to learn Rebecca, Ryan and their staff are the best! I'm a recent graduate of their USF Health Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and Yoga (Helping Veterans). I got assigned to the Yoga program, but since I signed up with the intention of doing Jiu Jitsu at first I'll be honest I did not wanted got continued. However, I'm glad I did and followed through with it because the practice helped tremendously with my anxiety and sleep issues to the point that I no longer need to take medications given by the VA as often to treat the symptoms. The best thing about is that they also provided the opportunity

Tampa BJJ was fantastic, & I sincerely appreciate the instruction & training partners there! I train BJJ in N.Va & am a blue belt. In late March 2018, I was in Tampa visiting family, & got the urge to find a place to roll. I called a few BJJ places in Tampa area. One place wanted me to pay a $45 "mat fee" for 60 minutes of rolling-- geesh, & nope. Other places weren't responsive, or made things complicated.
I was thrilled to get a quick call back from Tampa BJJ head instructor Ryan Deichert. Ryan & I chatted-- he asked me about my experience, brought

Tampa Jiu Jitsu has been a great experience for me and my boys. I've tried many different martial arts over the years and Gracie Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is hands down the best. I've been going for over 3 years now and Ryan Deichert and his instructors are awesome, they teach Gracie jiu jitsu, but also add an element "street self-defense", so you or your kids are prepared if you ever need to defend yourself. If you've never tried jiu jitsu, I encourage sign up for a free class and give it try. It's fun and you'll meet some great people.

Tampa Jiu Jitsu has been a great experience for my family. My sons started training with Ryan then I decided to give it a try and it's been a blast, it's also one of the better workouts I've ever done. I think the best thing about Tampa Jiu Jitsu is the atmosphere, everyone is willing to take a take a few minutes to explain or teach a new technique, you feel very welcomed from the moment you step on the mat. I've taken other martial arts and in my opinion Jiu Jitsu is the most effective self-defense. It doesn't matter if the other person is bigger or stronger, because solid

Tampa Jiu Jitsu is has the best instructors of any school I have ever been in, this includes even schools that teach things other than martial arts. They have an individualized approach and take the time to get to know each student’s strengths and weaknesses and improve on them. Their outstanding knowledge of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is easily evident by their ability break down complex ideas in a simple and easy to understand manner. Ryan has an especially unique knowledge of the Gracie basics because of the many years he spent learning the techniques from the Gracies themselves. It is rare to find

Ryan Deichert is one of the best Gracie Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Instructors in the United States, and Tampa is very lucky to have him teaching and running a school. Now, Ryan is one of my best friends and I am supposed to say nice things, but he really is one of the best students that has come out of the Gracie Academy (Royce and Rorian Gracie) in California and in Hawaii (Relson Gracie).I am very honored to have him and his students represent our family and Team Balance in Tampa...
