I had been curious about getting involved with Jiu Jitsu for years. My hesitation was due to previous wear and tear my body, just starting this journey at 43 years old, and my uncertainty about the culture and environment. After some time observing the gym, the coaches, and the students, I decided to give in to my curiosity and allow myself to attend some classes at Freedom Jiu Jitsu. I couldn't be more content and elated with this decision. Staci and her team are high caliber, humble professionals, who are passionate about their practice. From day one I was welcomed with brotherly love. Everyone on the mat is respectful, and development at each individual's level is fostered in a way that creates a longing to keep coming back. Not just for training, but for community. Freedom Jiu Jitsu is not simply a gym, it is a culture, a community, and connection; not only as an individual, but also for the entire family. My young daughter and teen
Freedom Jiu Jitsu is an amazing place to start your Jiu Jitsu journey. 2 years ago I stepped on the mats for the first time and as I continued to attend more classes, I really fell in love with Jiu Jitsu and the atmosphere that Freedom Jiu Jitsu offered. All the instructors are also very talented teachers and are able to teach and explain concepts in a way that different learners can understand. I have made many great friends and training partners during my time here and would definitely recommend this gym to anyone interested in learning the art of Jiu Jitsu.
My girls joined Freedom Jiu Jitsu Academy, Carlsbad when they were 8 years old and two years later they are still loving it. The coaches are extremely knowledgeable, patience and friendly. My kids have made new friends here and their confidence has grown immensely. They also take part in the Muay Thai training offered at Freedom Jiu Jitsu and I believe they enjoy this part the most! Coach Edson is amazing! He has a great skill of teaching self defense, discipline and mental toughness, while also making it fun for the kids at the same time. Thank you Coach Staci, Coach Edson and to all the coaches at the gym!
Absolutely incredible experience at Freedom Jiu Jitsu! My son has been training here for several months, and I couldn't be more impressed with the quality of instruction and the welcoming atmosphere. The coaches are not only highly skilled but also deeply committed to the development of each student, regardless of age or skill level. They take the time to ensure proper technique, while also encouraging mental toughness and respect for the art. The gym itself is clean, well-organized, and has a positive, family-friendly environment. You can tell that it's a place where kids are not just learning self-defense but also gaining confidence, discipline, and lifelong skills. My son looks forward to every class and has made significant progress since joining. 5 stars all-around!
If you are looking for a Jiu Jitsu gym where egos are left at the door, the kids love it so much they don’t want to leave, and you feel like you have a place… THIS IS THE SPOT! Dont let those cute kids having a great time fool you. The adults classes are amazing. New to Jiu jitsu? They don’t care, you will be welcomed by members and Professors alike. Just bring an open mind and be ready to smash or be smashed. Ive seen other places… and the ego mania is so off putting, especially for females. The ladies classes led by Professor Staci offer a phenomenal workout, lots of giggles, and the group of women are bar none top notch. I would trust these women with my children’s lives.. any day. This is not your typical Jiu Jitsu gym… we consider this our second home.
Freedom Jiu Jitsu has been an absolute game-changer for our family. Staci, in particular, has been an incredible role model for my kids over the past 8 years. She's not just a coach; she's family. Staci has worked wonders with my oldest son, especially during some challenging times with his autism diagnosis. Her patience, understanding, and expertise have helped him overcome severe sensory issues and build confidence I never thought possible. What's even more remarkable is how she's positively influenced my 8-year-old daughter. Staci's guidance has transformed her into a confident, passionate, and polite young lady. I owe so much of their growth and development to Staci's unwavering support and mentorship. We're eagerly awaiting for my youngest to turn 3 so he can join the Little Ninjas program. At Freedom Jiu Jitsu, it's not just about martial arts; it's about fostering a sense of belonging and empowerment. The entire team feels like f
