“A lot of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu schools just don’t have this type of instruction. In a lot of Jiu Jitsu schools, the head instructor is only there sometimes or he’s on his phone the whole time. They don’t mess around with that here, man. They’re always teaching. It’s such a good vibe. I encourage everybody to come out here and train with us.”

Looking for one of the best San Diego Jiu Jitsu schools near you? The Arena Gym Jiu Jitsu school focuses the factors most important to your success:
The primary goal of learning Jiu Jitsu, otherwise known as the “gentle art”, is for self-defense but undertaking BJJ training at a gym near you has many other benefits:
Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is a martial art focusing on ground fighting and grappling to gain an advantage on a potential attacker or opponent. Typically this includes chokeholds or joint manipulations to force submission. BJJ or Brazilian Jiu Jitsu was developed in Brazil in the 1920s by the Gracie family, evolving from the Jiu Jitsu lineage tree that began with The Japanese centuries ago.
The martial art of Jiu Jitsu originated centuries ago in Japan primarily intended for close combat using leverage and body control. BJJ or Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, is a branch of the Jiu Jitsu lineage tree (like Judo, Aikido and Sambo) that was developed by the Gracie family in Brazil. Due to its development throughout years of fighting competitions, BJJ is often thought to be one of the best options for MMA.
Jiu Jitsu is a great martial art for beginners. Our San Diego gym currently offers two fundamentals classes daily that focus on providing beginners with a strong foundation of understanding and application of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.
With gi Jiu Jitsu training everyone wears a gi when competing and the gi can be grabbed and used as part of the fighting. No-gi Jiu Jitsu opponents can wear whatever they agree upon and they are not allowed to yank or use the clothes as a way to get leverage or dominate their opponent. Each Jiu Jitsu training type has its virtues and is up to the individual. We offer both gi and no-gi BJJ classes here at The Arena.
Everyone will have a different answer to this question. Many variables will determine your schedule of training, goals, availability, and current fitness level, etc. As a general guideline, we recommend BJJ training 2-3 times weekly to see gains in knowledge, application of the art, and physical conditioning. The Arena schedule makes this attainable with close to 40 weekly Jiu Jitsu classes to accommodate you.
Students of Jiu Jitsu wear a traditional martial arts uniform (kimono) referred to as a Gi. We sell quality branded uniforms at The Arena’s pro fight gear shop, along with any of your equipment needs. If you are looking for top-quality gi’s for sale in San Diego we recommend checking out our gear shop.
