North South Jiu Jitsu

Place is phenomenal. Great coaches, good people, clean studio. Solid community BJJ studio.

I was a visitor. I usually train at another academy. My friend trains here and I came to check out North South Jiu Jitsu on his invitation.
I had a very good first impression. It was a welcoming atmosphere, members were very friendly, instructors were very attentive, and offered great supervision and instruction. Positively recommend this academy.

I'm new to the sport. In fact I've only trained twice. As soon as I opened the door to North South I was welcomed not only by the owner, but all the members in the room. Having gone only attended twice I can tell you that from white belt to black belt everyone in that studio is there not only to get better, but to form friendships and community. So far the sequence of a course has been as follows. Warm up, movement, drill and skill, sweep- submit-pass, and roll. Again, I've only attended twice so that layout may change, but it was certainly what I was looking for. That and an unpretentious community whose focus is on technique and doing hard things together.

Instructors are welcoming and knowledgeable. Owners - who are also instructors - are accessible and encouraging. Students are respectful and friendly. Good variety of colored belts, skill levels, and competitors/hobbyists. Numerous killers. Tailored advice given during drilling. Instructors practice and roll with students. Owners work to improve the space and encourage students' interests. Multiple classes offered most days. Focus is personal growth and improving technical skill. Environment is relaxed. Many students have trained here for several years.

This place is amazing. Started here almost 2 years ago to try and find a new way to stay in shape and got hooked. Very friendly open environment. Led by two world class instructors in Karen and Adam , there is plenty of room to grow technically and compete at a high level.
