Testimonials

Lakisha C.
Southside Jiu Jitsu helped me get back on track! I joined the 6-week bootcamp and reached my goal of losing 12 lbs. The guidance, meal plan, and supplement plan, were excellent and tailored to my needs. I’ve struggled with weight loss for a few years now and this bootcamp helped me break a plateau. The coaches are supportive and extremely knowledgeable on all things fitness and jiu jitsu. The people I trained with were always friendly and welcoming. This training facility is run like a family and I greatly appreciate that. If you want to try something different and get fit while having fun and learning how to use your body in different ways Southside Jiu Jitsu is a great place to do so!

This place has been a lot of fun. Took a few classes and every time I show up I learn something new. I feel like I have a better understanding of how to move my body and noticeably less stressed. The people have been incredibly supportive and welcoming. The coaches are knowledgeable considerate and the fact that they enjoy and really care about what they do comes through every moment of the class. Its been amazing and I highly recommend anyone to give it a shot and see if this is for them. I can't wait for the next class and see how far I can go. If you're trying to grow in either physical fitness, want a fun hobby to learn, want more confidence or just a place to go get away from the stresses of daily life. Then I do suggest giving this place a try.

I’m really loving my time at South Side Jiu Jitsu. Big shout out to Professor Solomon for introducing such a great contribution to the area. Having such skilled, knowledgeable instructors in the neighborhood is a huge plus, and they’re also super friendly and easy to learn from. The gym is always clean, the energy is welcoming, and the culture really feels like a community—not just a place to train. Highly recommend checking it out.
