St. Paul Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Academy

Fantastic experience: What to expect when new to Jiu Jitsu If you have been reading many reviews, then your probably serious about trying Jiu Jitsu. You will at least want to find a place with a dedicated foundations program. These classes show the basic submissions, chokes, escapes and sweeps all at your own pace. When you’re ready, you can move on to mastery classes with dedicated time to roll against other skill levels. These classes build on the basics and are of a higher intensity level. If you are thinking of signing up consider The Academy - Saint Paul BJJ, they have a great curriculum and dedicated classes for beginning or advanced students. At The Academy classes usually have several instructors (both teaching and taking classes) so the student to teacher ratio is always high. Don’t worry about coming in as a beginner either, everyone there has been through it and you will always get an encouraging word. The Academy hosts a great family atmosphere and even has kid’s classes! Fun for the whole family.

Fantastic experience: Cleanliness: one thing that sticks out about this school is it is literally immaculate. You can tell the coach and staff take extra time to keep their academy clean. There is nothing worse than rolling on a mat and getting hair in your mouth. This place also has phenomenal instructors that not only teach the technique, but the how, why, and when behind it. I believe that principle and concept based instruction really helps elevate your students to new level. This school is hands down one of the best in the area.

Fantastic experience: I made the decision to try Brazilian Jiu Jitsu at the St. Paul Academy almost six years ago and never looked back since. Initially I was simply curious in learning some basic self-defense techniques but I was quickly sold on the welcoming atmosphere, the healthy and humbling balance between people of different backgrounds and purposes, and the exceptional teaching methods of Coach Brandon and the team. Jiu Jitsu is a great discipline for those who enjoy sports, sharpening their minds and their bodies, and most importantly having fun and you'd be hard pressed to find a better place to train than the St. Paul BJJ Academy!

Fantastic experience: Everyone here is incredible. There are multiple levels of classes and the schedule makes the only reason you aren't on the mat you. They recently remodeled. Check it out, try something new, get a workout, have fun.

Fantastic experience: Great place to train great for beginners or even the most seasoned experts! clean facilities nice new equipment and coaches are amazing patient and full of knowledge
