“We had an amazing experience here, with the coaches being very welcoming to our child as she was hesitant her first day. That didn’t last very long! She quickly grew to absolutely love coming to SJJA.
We were also blown away by the level of instruction, with coaches quite often paired up with just a couple kids and even at times grappling one on one with them.”
“Our son absolutely loves jujutsu here. It’s fun, engaging, and there are many instructors to help multiple kids.
The place is large and beautifully maintained. There’s lots of parking and it is ADA compliant. I highly recommend you check it out if your kiddo is interested.”
“We are thrilled to have found SJJA and have watched our son (not a sports person) grow and blossom in confidence, coordination, and sportsmanship. We love the inclusive and friendly community, and the coaches are just the best.”
“We enrolled our kids in SJJA and loved our training there. The coaches and professor are excellent. Coach Matt and Jen are great in guiding, teaching and mentoring the kids. Professor David’s expertise and intensity worked perfectly for our kids. Their skill and confidence grew exponentially during their year of training!”
“We have been so happy with our time at SJJA! They do an excellent job at coaching each child individually, meeting them where they are, while also maintaining strong group standards. Our son has learned so much in the 3 months he’s been there, and we can see it positively impacting other areas of life. We love that the focus is on self-improvement, careful steady practice and respect for others, while learning Jujitsu.”
