I've had the pleasure of training at Gracie La Mesa for the past 8+ years, and I can confidently say that it's not just a gym – it's a second home. From the moment I stepped through the doors, I was greeted with warmth and a genuine sense of camaraderie that sets this place apart. What truly makes Gracie La Mesa shine is its outstanding family-oriented culture. The instructors and staff go above and beyond to create an inclusive and supportive environment. Whether you're a seasoned practitioner or a complete beginner, you're treated with respect and encouragement. It's evident that they're invested in the growth and well-being of each and every member. The dedication to maintaining a positive and respectful atmosphere is something that resonates throughout every class. The coaches are not only incredibly skilled but also exceptional teachers who are patient and attentive to individual needs. They take the time to break down techniques a
Both my son and daughter have been doing their self-defense training at Gracie Jiu Jitsu La Mesa for about 6 months now. Both my children love coming here and is a great way for them to learn a practical martial art. The instructors Jason, Marcus, and Clay all have been wonderful with all the kids. They make the classes fun, but the discipline is always there. They grapple every day which I think is important. If they should ever need to use Brazilian Jiu Jitsu in real life, it won't be anything new to them. They have a kids class and junior class for kids. They also have adult classes which my husband attends. He does the early morning jiu jitsu class at 5 am because he does not have time to attend the evening classes for adults. I have seen women, older men, even teenagers in the adult class. Really impressed with the whole dojo!
I cannot recommend Gracia La Mesa highly enough! This jiu jitsu training facility has truly become a second home for me and my family. From the moment we walked through the doors, we felt embraced by the amazing family atmosphere that is present here. The camaraderie among students is incredible; it’s not just a place to train, but a community where everyone supports one another’s growth both on and off the mats. Professor Jason is absolutely outstanding. His expertise, patience, and passion for teaching shine through in every class. He has built a fantastic team and fosters an environment where everyone can thrive at their own pace. His dedication to each student’s progress is unmatched, and it’s clear that he genuinely cares about the success of everyone who trains here. I also want to highlight the incredible support from the newest member of the teaching staff, Professor Marco. He has been so patient and helpful in my journey. Not o
I started my son in classes to keep him active , add discipline and the ability to rough house in a safe environment. Coach Jason allowed him to train for a week, and then told me to bring him back in 6 months. Although I was disheartened, I was happy he wasn't just looking for another paying student. The instructors are firm, fair and most of all fair. Each class ends with sparring and then DODGEBALL! The kids love this! When coach Jason asks, "what's the only rule in dodge ball??" The kids in unison reply, " IT'S NOT FAIR!" My son learns that sometimes you lose, which I feel is a very important lesson. He has learned about sportsmanship, respect and hard work.
By far the best Brazilian Jiu Jitsu in La Mesa! Both my daughter and son train here and love it. There are plenty of classes to attend and the instructors are amazing. They are always trying to help the kids. Nothing but positive energy at this dojo. There are NO CONTRACTS. Very rare for any martial arts or self-defense studio to do that. They also have 1 free week of training to anyone who wants to try it out first. Training is available for kids, teenagers, women, men, newbies or experienced folks. Talk to Jason and he will help you out!
Dont know what I would do with out Gracie Humaita La Mesa in my life! Been here for 5 plus years almost everyday. While there are tons of great BJJ gyms in SD this is the ONLY gym in San Diego that has a 5 AM class. Because of work, kids sports and life this is the only time I can train. The training and instruction is fantastic and the folks that train here have become like my second family. Grateful for everyone who makes this place a special place to to train and better myself!
