As a dedicated 'jiu-jitsu journey-person,' I can confidently say this studio is exceptional for beginners, experienced practitioners, and everyone in between. I've trained with Professor Alex for over a decade, and his expertise is unmatched. What sets him apart is his commitment to continuous improvement, both in his own skills and his teaching methods. His instruction is incredibly detailed yet accessible, making complex techniques easy to understand. My 14-year-old agrees, noting that Alex's attention to detail truly clarifies the movements. Grounded Grit's kids BJJ classes are a standout feature. Unlike many studios where kids' programs are secondary, Professor Alex genuinely invests in his young students. He fosters a respectful and encouraging enviro

I am so happy to have started training at Grounded Grit Jiu Jitsu under professor Alex Ueda! He is one of the most passionate, humble, kind, thoughtful, technical, supportive, and caring instructors I have had. The Infinite Games class allows for questions, and exploration during the technique portion. We also had wall drills over the position we have been focusing on, along with freestyle rolls with our training partners. I walked away from the class gaining so much, while feeling so inspired to continue learning more. My partner also began to train at their Fundamentals class! GGJJ is an overall safe, nourishing environment for anyone and everyone who wants to learn effective self defense, and to continue sharpen your skills in your jiu jitsu journey.
The atmosphere is warm and welcoming. The instructors bring out the best of you without making you feel overwhelmed or incompetent. I had zero experience in any martial art and hadn't been exercising in 3 years prior to joining and they told me it's 100% perfectly fine - go at your own pace. It was the instructors and others in the class that kept me coming each class. 7 months in and I'm so happy I joined, definitely no regrets. If you're in the area curious about Jui Jitsu and don't want to feel pressured, but welcomed this is the place to join.
Grounded Grit is a 5 star establishment hands down. Alex (head instructor) is super cool and easy to talk and learn with. I like his teaching style, explanation ability and attention to detail. His partners and fellow instructors are patient and helpful as well. I’ve been to and seen other dojo’s where you learn to compete and you’re thrown in and you try to figure things out as you go. That’s fine if that’s you. At Grounded Grit you start with the fundamentals and the lesson plan is detailed and set up to learn at a slower pace that comes together with time. I’m about a month in and even the students are very helpful to teach what they have learned thus far. It feels more of a family friendly environment and I’m glad we (wife and I) are here. Highly recommended.
Excellent place to train & connect. Welcoming and inclusive environment, attentive & dedicated instructors. Alex is an excellent instructor with years of experience teaching Jiu-jitsu. His passion for teaching Jiu-jitsu shows every time he’s on and off the mat.
