My family (me and two kids!) have been coming to Ares BJJ for a year now, and I’m happy to leave this five-star review. The staff is friendly, the schedule is accommodating, the studio is always clean, and most importantly the training is amazing. Professor Samir and his staff run a solid program for world class Jiu Jitsu training, and I couldn’t recommend it enough. There is a track for beginners, intermediate, and advanced training, and plenty of opportunity to train with all levels. I love it. Whether you’re casually interested, seeking personal development, or you desire to compete in tournaments, Ares BJJ will have something for you.
We recently found the world of Jiu Jitsu & it has been a true blessing. My son had no interest in anything but hiding in his room and playing Xbox. I tried everything to get him interested in physical activity and making friends, but nothing worked. After a bad report card and a declining attitude, it was time for a change. I found this gym based on location but what we really discovered was a whole new group of awesome people. I can't thank these incredible teachers, Jeremy and Jamie, enough for their passion and care for the students, it is so special to watch. From day one, it was evident that they are not just teaching a sport; they are fostering a community. The dedication they have for Jiu Jitsu is infectious, and it creates an environment where the students feel inspired and motivated to give their best. On day one when my son had no idea what he was doing, they both made him feel welcome and comfortable without looking like the
First visit to this academy while visiting family and friends in Modesto. Booked a private lesson ahead of time with Jeremy, who is also the kids program instructor. The Facility:Very clean gym with ample mat space, seating and viewing areas, 2 restrooms, and multiple changing rooms. Again, all very clean and tidy. The instruction / lesson: Very focused to my needs and wants, with high consideration that I am coming off of an extended time off from training. Strong emphasis on technique with a very solid review of the content. Also, was able to observe the kids class after my session. Very good instruction with a big emphasis on the safety of your training partner. The interaction between teacher and students was fun and light, with obvious mutual respect.
Best bjj in the central valley in my humble opinion. All instructors have their own unique way of teaching technique and extracting the very best from you. Super experienced, super informative, strict when nessessary, like when it comes to your safety or your opponent. Both my nephew and my daughter train here 5 days a week, different age groups,my nephew being older and brought experience from another gym is getting top notch, championship type training. My daughter is growing up here, and I couldn't be happier and have watched my daughter's confidence soar since joining Ares. If you have young kids this place is perfect as the instructors Jeremy and Jaime have an obvious passion for working with kids and have positive impacts socially, physically, and even on the mental health side. In this world of divises, and lack of activities. This place is great for a lot of reasons!
My daughter has been attending Ares BJJ Modesto since March of this year. From the very first day we stepped into the gym to get some info on how to enroll her in classes our experience has been nothing but great. The owner Samir was very attentive and explained the process to us and encouraged my daughter to start that very next day. Her coaches Jamie and Jeremy, are the most professional and caring trainers and I can’t thank them enough for everything they have done for my daughter. Their love for the sport is what makes them such great trainers. Thanks to them, my daughter now loves the sport and looks forward to Jiu jitsu all the time. Thank you Jaymie and Jeremy for all that you do to make the children’s class so great!
Before I moved to this area, my friends in Texas who know jiu jitsu recommended Ares based on Samir Chantre’s world-class reputation as a multiple-time World Champion. Having been here for over two years, I’ve found that Samir is a highly-technical instructor, with attention down to the smallest details that make the biggest difference in the effectiveness of the techniques. He also a fun and genuinely caring person, one who fosters a supportive, cohesive, and family-type atmosphere among his students. With jiu jitsu, you get out of it what you put into it. If you want to make the investment in yourself to work hard while having fun, all the while being surrounded by good people, this is the academy for you. I hate driving, have a busy work schedule, and there are academies that are closer, but for all this it is worth it to me to make the drive several times a week!
